Our experienced team provides transparent, high-quality case management and guidance at every stage. The services listed below are included in our agency fees for all intended parents; some coordinated services may involve separate charges from third-party providers.
Matches from the heart
We build matches that are based on shared goals and respect. A strong relationship with your gestational surrogate will foster the collaboration and respect needed for a successful journey.
Surrogate Recruitment
We will look for a surrogate who meets the requirements set by your fertility clinic and the preferences you’ve shared with us.
Matching
Our proven, personalized matching process ensures each client views one carefully selected profile at a time. The profile you receive will include estimated costs for a journey with that specific surrogate. We then facilitate a match meeting to explore compatibility.

We prescreen surrogate candidates before they are accepted into our program. Every surrogate meets the requirements listed here and has passed the following:
- phone interview(s)
- criminal background check of candidate and any other adults living in the household
- OB medical clearance
- professional medical records review
- virtual home visit
- psychological evaluation and testing
- professional insurance review

This includes medical screening, fertility and obstetric appointments, meetings with attorneys and other providers, legal filings, and legal procedures/hearings.
Travel Arrangements
We will make travel arrangements for your surrogate if the medical clearance and embryo transfer appointments are not in their area.
Hospital Introduction
We coordinate with your delivery hospital to ensure they are fully prepared for a surrogacy pregnancy, including confirming receipt of parentage paperwork and facilitating communication with key staff.
