Halachic certainty
Every medical step follows a rabbinic protocol — supervised, witnessed, documented — so your child’s Jewish status is clear from day one and recognized in your community.
בְּרוּכִים הַבָּאִים Welcome
Building Jewish families, with halacha at heart.
Naviva walks with Jewish intended parents — and the remarkable women who carry for them — through medicine, law, and halacha, until a healthy baby is home and the joy is yours.
- Preeminent rabbinic supervision
- Attorneys who practice only ART law
- One guide from match to bris
לְדוֹר וָדוֹר From generation to generation
Surrogacy is a big journey. You shouldn’t take a single step of it alone.
We founded Naviva for Jewish families who were told everything except how to actually do this — permissibly, safely, and with joy. Three commitments hold every journey together.
Legal protection
Surrogacy law changes from state to state. Our attorneys practice assisted-reproduction law exclusively — and secure your parentage before your baby is born.
Human warmth
You are never a case file. One coordinator stays with you from first call to homecoming — on the phone, at the clinic, and in the delivery room hallway.
שֵׁרוּתִים What we do
Every service a Jewish surrogacy journey needs, under one roof.
Matching & screening
We recruit, screen, and support gestational surrogates ourselves — medically, psychologically, and personally — then match you around values, chemistry, and trust.
Rabbinic guidance & supervision
From your first she’elah to lab hashgacha at retrieval, fertilization, and transfer — our rabbinic team builds the halachic pathway and walks it with you.
Legal representation
Gestational carrier agreements, pre-birth parentage orders, donor agreements, escrow — handled by attorneys who are subject-matter experts in surrogacy law.
Medical coordination
We work alongside leading fertility clinics — scheduling cycles, monitoring milestones, and keeping halachic and medical calendars in harmony.
Financial planning & escrow
A transparent budget before you commit, bonded third-party escrow throughout, and guidance to Jewish fertility grants and interest-free gemach loans.
After the birth
Status documentation for your community and schools, bris or simchat bat planning, and support through the first weeks at home — the simcha, organized.
הֲלָכָה וּמִשְׁפָּט Halacha & Law
Led by a foremost rabbinic authority on surrogacy. Protected by attorneys who do nothing else.
Naviva’s halachic program is directed by a posek internationally recognized as a leading expert in reproductive halacha — surrogacy, egg donation, and maternal identity. Our legal panel, in turn, is made up of attorneys who practice assisted-reproduction law exclusively, in the states where your journey unfolds.
Scholarship on one side, statute on the other — and your family safely in the middle.
הַמַּסָּע The journey
Six steps, one steady hand.
