Redefining Support for Intended Parents
At Surrogacy Is we know deciding to pursue a surrogacy journey is a big decision and it can often feel overwhelming and uncertain. Imagining ourselves in your shoes is what drives us in our commitment to make sure we’re doing what’s right to take care of you. To us, that means offering comprehensive IP (intended parent) perks that just make sense. See first-hand how much heart we put into every journey!
What You Can Expect Working With Us:
No Deposit Until Match
We don’t believe in up-front costs for intended parents. In our eyes, your surrogate match is the essential first step in starting your journey with us and we’ll never ask you to pay anything until we’ve found her—and even then we break our deposit into two installments. (The second installment is after she is medically cleared).
There can be a lot of uncertainty in surrogacy, so we want to make things as easy and affordable for you to make sure you’re with the right surrogate to move forward with.
90-Day Match Guarantee
At Surrogacy Is, it pains us to hear how long IPs sit on wait lists wishing for the chance to start their journey. We made a vow as an agency to never feed hopeful parents false promises and to do whatever we can to start them on their journey to parenthood faster. That’s why we’ll never have a waitlist.
Since starting our surrogacy advocacy support group, we’ve talked to and educated 80+ potential surrogates on average every month. Because of this sheer value of new passionate surrogates, we’re confident we can find your perfect match in 90 days—or less. In fact, our match time is usually less than 21 days for intended parents (Seriously!)
Thorough Screening of Surrogates
By the time you see a surrogate’s profile, she’s been thoroughly vetted through our pre-screening process.
This includes…
- A full profile review
- Collection of medical records
- OB clearance
- Virtual home visit
- Insurance review with ART Risk
- Criminal backgrounds
- Psychological clearance.
Low Case Loads for Every Journey Coordinator
We’ve worked hard to build a team that puts their hearts into every journey. That’s why we have specific teams for every stage and limit each Journey Coordinator to 25 cases. This allows our team to be fully equipped to give every family the time and attention they deserve, including 24-hour support for whenever a question or concern comes up.
IVF Concierge for Your Surrogate
We know IVF clinics are extremely busy. We offer additional support to every surrogate through our IVF concierge, which includes teaching your surrogate how to take her medicine from our RN team and community of experienced surrogates. With the whole Surrogacy Is team on your side, you’ll never have to worry about whether your surrogate is taking her medication correctly.
Mental Health Support for BOTH IPs and Surrogate
Surrogacy can be an emotional process. If both sides have the opportunity to discuss their emotions with a professional psychologist, it creates a solid foundation for a beautiful, less stressful journey and relationship. We’ve partnered with highly trained mental health professionals who have experience in third-party reproduction and are licensed to support clients across many states, making care both accessible and specialized.
Birth Order Help
It’s our goal once your baby is born that you can fully bask in the new joy of parenthood. That’s why we’ll work closely with the hospital so they know about the surrogacy arrangement and the birth clerk has all the necessary legal paperwork in place before you and your surrogate even walk through the door.
Postpartum Assistance
Even after your baby is born, our support doesn’t end. We’ll be here to help with any postpartum assistance you may need. If you need help setting up lodging in your surrogate’s city, figuring out arrangements to travel back home with your newborn, or even advice on how to bond with your new little one, we’ll be there.

Overall Costs for Intended Parents:

What Kind of Parents Do We Work With? All of Them!
Inclusive support for all families
To us, love is love—and having love in your heart for a new baby is the most important factor for a great parent. As an agency, we uphold the values of inclusivity and celebrate the stories and conversations from everyone in the surrogacy community. We believe that families aren’t aren’t a one-size-fits-all picture. From beginning to end, we’ll be there to help make your unique path to parenthood as memorable and special as possible.
