FAQ
No. We're a concierge matching service. We find, screen, and match, then connect you with independent attorneys, escrow, and insurance specialists. That focus is how we keep our all-in fee at $10,999.
Every surrogate we present has had her medical records reviewed by a registered nurse, a psychological evaluation by a licensed psychologist, and a background check, all included in your fee. Given our own story, we won't match without them. Medical clearance still comes from your IVF clinic's physician.
It depends on your preferences and who's applying. We'd rather give you an honest range on your consultation than a promise we can't keep.

If your match doesn't work out, we re-match you until we find you a surrogate, or you get your money back.
Never. Intended parents pay our fee and cover the costs of your journey, including your own attorney.
Compensation is agreed between you and the intended parents and written into your contract. It varies with experience and location. We'll walk you through what's typical on your first call.
No. We only work with gestational surrogacy, where the embryo is created from the intended parents' or donors' eggs and sperm.
Because your safety matters. Past pregnancies tell us and your doctors whether another pregnancy is a healthy choice for you.
Yes. You'll review profiles and meet families before anything is decided. A match only happens when both sides say yes.
All US states that allow surrogacy.
