How long does a surrogacy journey take?

The length of time can vary based on many factors, including time taken to collect your medical records, receive medical clearance and to achieve a pregnancy. We find on average our journeys can take on average around 18 months for surrogates from the moment you begin your application to the end of your journey but this can vary based on your unique circumstances.

Why are the surrogate qualifications so restrictive?

The safety and wellbeing of our surrogates, intended parents, and their babies are paramount. We adhere to the ethical and medical standards set forth by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and the Society for Ethics in Egg Donation and Surrogacy (SEEDS) to ensure safe and ethical journeys.

How do I begin the process as an intended parent?

The process begins with a complimentary consultation with Damien, our CEO & Co-Founder, where he can learn more about your family-building goals and discuss how we can help you achieve them. When you are ready to move forward, you will begin reviewing surrogate profiles and conducting match meetings. Once you are matched, you will enter into a formal agreement with us, pay your agency fee and fund your escrow account with the first 50% of the journey costs.
