Frank

Frank is the bylined author of the Chinese, English and Russian pages in the FS Global Ferticare knowledge centre. The site publishes long-form guides and Q&A on overseas surrogacy, cross-border assisted reproduction, IVF and post-birth documentation, and more than two hundred pages currently carry his byline. This page sets out what he is responsible for, how the content is produced, and what this site explicitly does not do.

Scope of work

FS Global Ferticare Group has served Chinese-speaking families since 2015, with entities in Beijing, Hong Kong and Bishkek covering communication, coordination and local execution support. Within that structure Frank is responsible for the public knowledge content: choosing topics, tracing statutes and medical literature, writing the text, and updating pages with a stated review date when law or policy changes. Consultation, quotations, medical delivery and legal representation are handled by the relevant institutions and licensed professionals, not by the author of this page.

Main subject areas

These are the topics the bylined content covers over time. Each has its own dedicated page rather than being stacked into a single article.

How the content is produced

Law, policy and registration procedure are sourced first from competent authorities, parliaments, courts and government databases. Medical content is sourced first from society guidelines, systematic reviews and primary research. Clinic quotations are used only to describe publicly stated prices, never as a final plan or an outcome. Policy items distinguish draft, public consultation, passed and in force; the verification date is stated on the page, and an old date does not imply the rule still holds today. The full rules are on the editorial policy page.

Professional boundaries

Frank is not a doctor and not a lawyer. Nothing here replaces a physician's diagnosis or treatment advice, or a licensed lawyer's opinion on specific facts. The site makes no guarantee of success rates, legality, parentage or document outcomes, and does not display the name of any doctor or lawyer who did not actually review the page.

What this site does not do

How to judge content like this

The same test applies to this site. Five questions worth asking of any cross-border fertility article.

  1. Is a verification date stated? Policy can change several times a year, and an undated conclusion cannot be relied on.
  2. Does a legal claim point to a specific source? "Country X is legal" without a statute number, effective date and competent authority is usually repetition, not checking.
  3. Are programme access and coming home treated separately? Much of this content covers whether a programme can start and stops there.
  4. Is the cost basis defined? A total range means little without saying whether medication, legal fees, accommodation and contingencies are inside it.
  5. Is there a correction route? A site that publishes how it handles errors is a more useful comparison than one that only shows successes.
