A careful start to the most important journey of your life.

Sojourn was started by two intended parents who learned what a rushed match can cost. We match families and surrogates with clear eyes, honest screening, and one flat fee.

I'm an intended parent I'd like to become a surrogate

“Every match gets a second look. Every question gets asked out loud.”

$10,999, screening included Surrogates never pay us Nurse, psychologist & background checks Only 20 matches a year

Two sides of one journey.

A good match has to be right for everyone in it. We work for both of you, and we say the hard things to both of you.

For intended parents

You've been through enough. Your match shouldn't be a gamble.

Surrogates whose files we've actually read, not skimmed
A registered nurse, a licensed psychologist, and a background check on every surrogate
A fee that respects what fertility treatment has already cost you

For intended parents →

For surrogates

You'd be giving a family everything. You deserve a match that protects you too.

You never pay us a fee, ever
You meet and choose your family, not the other way around
A real person who answers you, from the first call to match day

For surrogates →

Why we exist

We were intended parents. We were told our surrogate's medical and psychological clearance was solid. It wasn't, and we lost our baby.

We started Sojourn so no family, and no surrogate, walks into this without the full picture.
