Surrogacy Timeline
Meet & Greet
The first step in our process is to meet with us and share your expectations for the journey. This is a time to get to know one another and make sure our process will be in alignment with your goals! We will take note of your dealbreaker requirements and matching preferences to help us search for your ideal match.
Build Your Profile
We will help you create a profile that shows potential
surrogates who you are and highlights all of the reasons why any woman would be excited and motivated to help you bring your baby into the world.
We will help you define your matching preferences, communication style, and expectations for the pregnancy, delivery, and beyond.
In order to increase your matching options, we may help you create a short video to share with potential surrogates that truly highlights who you are!
Match With Your Surrogate*
We spend a lot of time getting to know the gestational
carriers who enter into our screening process and will use our knowledge of your clinics requirements and her matching preferences and communication style to suggest matches that are most aligned.
We will share a GC and IP profile simultaneously, and ask that you let us know within 24 hours if you are interested in meeting her for a match call. If both parties agree to meet based on profile, records will be sent to IVF doctor and match meeting scheduled.
*In the event that your surrogate does not pass medical screening or legal clearance, you will be rematched at no additional charge.
Complete IP Screening
Once a match is official, escrow will be funded with $10,000 to cover screening costs, travel and other incidentals.
Consult with a Mental Health Professional (MHP) must be scheduled unless it is completed through your IVF clinic.
MHP can provide guidance and tools to help you in this
delicate process! IPs also consent to a criminal Background Check. The first installment of 50% of agency fee is also due at this time.
Medical Screening
We will arrange travel for your surrogate to meet in person with your RE for an depth medical screening appointment.
GC and her partner will both be screened to make sure it’s safe for them to proceed with surrogacy, and both are free of untreated STDs and other diseases. Both GC and her partner will also be tested for drugs and nicotine. Some surrogates are confident to attend this appointment alone, but others may feel best with a companion.
Legal Contracts
You will work with your selected attorney to draft your
Gestational Carrier Agreement.
Your surrogate will review the draft with her attorney and both parties may request changes prior to finalizing contracts.
The final installment of the remaining 50% of our agency fee is due once legal clearance is confirmed and a trust account is required to be fully funded with GC’s full compensation, plus $25,000 to cover contractual expenses and incidentals, and insurance premiums for 12 months. This step must be completed no later than 7 days from time of execution of agreement, and GC cannot start meds until this step is complete.
IVF Cycle & Embryo Transfer
Once medical and legal clearance are complete, RE will issue cycle calendar and schedule embryo transfer. We will arrange travel and help the surrogate to order her medications from the pharmacy. We will ensure she is up to speed with the clinics protocol and arrange additional support if needed.
Pregnancy & Prenatal Care
Once pregnancy is confirmed, GC will continue medications and monitoring with IVF clinic until the RE releases her to standard OB care.
We will help to locate an OB that is in network with the surrogate’s insurance policy and is contracted to deliver at a hospital with a level II or higher NICU.
We will work with you and surrogate, as well as your attorney and hospital social worker to coordinate parentage and birth plan.
Delivery & Postpartum
Once your baby is here, we will help you arrange travel and other support as needed, and help GC with postpartum care, breastmilk pumping and shipping options, and ensure all medical bills are submitted to escrow.
Escrow will remained funded with a minimum of $10,000 until 1 year postpartum to ensure payment of all hospital and delivery bills.

It’s simple… we’re different than any other agency.
And it’s because of that difference, that we have some of the highest surrogate-to-intended parent ratios in the industry.
So, to start… your match times are significantly shorter working with us.
Maybe matching in 90-days instead of sitting on a waitlist for a year or more might be enough of a reason to choose us, but there’s more than that.
We’ve created a system where our surrogate candidates are more informed, more supported and more excited about their journey. And that creates a smoother journey overall for everyone.
It’s important to know that, while the primary focus in a surrogacy journey is typically you and your goal to complete your family, it’s important to know that this is your surrogate’s journey as well. Knowing that, we can help your journey become the best journey it can possibly be, again, for everyone.
Surrogacy is generally categorized into two types: gestational surrogacy and traditional surrogacy. In gestational surrogacy, embryos are created by the intended parents via in vitro fertilization and then implanted in a surrogate, who is often referred to as a gestational carrier. This surrogate carries the child or children to term, yet shares no genetic ties with them. This form of surrogacy constitutes the majority of surrogacy agreements today.
On the other hand, traditional surrogacy involves the surrogate becoming pregnant through artificial insemination, thus establishing a genetic link with the child or children she carries for the intended parents. Please note, at Surrogacy Is, we exclusively offer gestational surrogacy services.
