Finding a Surrogacy Agency in California

Making the decision to expand your family by undergoing surrogacy is a huge step. However, finding a surrogate is time-consuming and a huge burden for most people. It involves correctly screening candidates, looking at their pregnancy history, examining their motivations and goals for wanting to become a surrogate, and ultimately helping them stay committed to the process. If you’re looking for a surrogate, there is no better service to use than a that of a surrogate agency to help you find the perfect candidate. Finding a surrogate for anyone is not easy and should not be undertaken by yourself. If you’re a parent looking for a surrogate mother, you’ve come to the right place. It is important to know, before embarking on the surrogacy journey, that surrogacy can be a complex process. Whether you are an intended parent or looking to be a surrogate mother, undergoing the surrogacy process with the help of a professional surrogacy agency makes the journey less daunting, stress-free and even enjoyable.

What is a Surrogacy Agency or Surrogate Agency?

A surrogacy agency or surrogate agency serves as an all-in-one shop for all the services you will need to ensure a successful surrogacy experience. It coordinates most or all aspects of the surrogacy process, including finding a surrogate mother, coordinating her medical and legal aspects and ensuring that the surrogacy process is as stress-free as possible.

Surrogacy agencies in California are not regulated by a licensing organization. This means that the services offered by one agency are not necessarily offered by another agency. It is important to always do your research before signing up with a surrogacy agency. You want to work with a surrogacy agency that will be able to meet all your needs, an agency you trust and feel comfortable with.

Questions to Ask Before Selecting a Surrogacy Agency

California, with its surrogacy-friendly laws, has many surrogacy centers and agencies. However, always be sure to do your research before selecting a surrogacy agency. It is also a good idea, if possible, to ask for referrals from couples or surrogates who have had successful surrogacy journeys via surrogacy agencies.

Before signing an agreement with a surrogacy agency, below are some questions you should ask to make sure that the agency is the right match for you:

• What are the specific requirements of the agency that intended parents and surrogates must meet?
• What is the medical and psychological screening process for surrogate mothers?
• What does the pre-screening process for intended parents involve?
• What specific services does the agency offer? What type of support does the agency offer to intended parents and surrogates?
• Does the agency facilitate legal representation for surrogates and intended parents?
• How much does a surrogacy journey cost for intended parents?
• How much time will it take to find a surrogate?
• What is the base compensation for surrogates?

Keep in mind that most surrogacy agencies in California focus on gestational surrogacy and not traditional surrogacy. This is because of the emotional complications that may arise with traditional surrogacy.
