Becoming a parent is undoubtedly one of the greatest achievements in life, but not everyone has the ability to have children on their own. For people struggling to conceive and those who cannot achieve pregnancy the conventional way, surrogacy offers an opportunity to build their dream family.
We understand the time, resources, and effort it took to create your embryos. Selecting your IVF center, choosing the right Reproductive Endocrinologist, the egg retrieval process, and finally the anticipation of receiving your PGT results.
During your initial consultation, our goal is for you to understand our process, get to know us, and be confident that your Surrogacy journey will be as smooth as possible.
We will go over all your preferences, goals, and requirements that are vital in creating your unique path to parenthood. We want to learn more about the physician you are currently working with, so we can find a Surrogate Mother that will fit both you and your IVF center’s preferences.
Our consultative approach takes into consideration that every journey is unique, and one pre-defined option doesn’t suit everyone’s needs.
Immediately following your consultation, you will receive a quotation based on the scenarios discussed. Your quote outlines all variables, including financial considerations (Surrogate experience, employment status, and location), additional testing preferences, and logistics.
If you have not created an embryo yet, we will refer you to one of our partner fertility clinics to start the process. In the case that you already have embryos, eggs, or sperm that you would like to use, the transfer to a U.S. clinic can be initiated. Your Pathway To Parenthood Plan that we will create for you will take all of these factors into consideration.
During the Surrogate matching process, our team aligns your goals, preferences, and center requirements to create your ideal match. You are presented with Surrogates who have passed our rigorous social and medical pre-screening processes, which include a comprehensive background check, internal OB review of prior pregnancy, delivery records, and preliminary diagnostic screenings.
We further confirm the candidate meets the gestational carrier criteria of your IVF center and Reproductive Endocrinologist.
To start the complimentary matching process, we will collect the necessary identification followed by hand-selecting your matches based on your pathway to parenthood plan. Picture profiles of your potential Surrogates are then sent to you.
Once you’ve selected the profiles that you’re interested in learning more about, we will share their public profile with you. If there are any FDA or medical considerations that a potential Surrogate needs to be made aware of, one of our physicians are available to discuss this with them before moving forward. The final step is to schedule a meet-and-greet video chat with your potential Surrogate, allowing you to move forward with confidence.
After confirmation of a match by both you and your Surrogate, our agency agreement is signed. We do not ask you to sign a contract until a two-way match is confirmed. Your Surrogate then goes through a comprehensive medical screening at your IVF center.
A psychological screening is conducted, ensuring that your Surrogate is medically and emotionally prepared to prioritize a surrogacy journey.
Once your Surrogate completes the screening, a medical clearance letter is issued, allowing you to proceed to the legal contract phase. Both you and your Surrogate will have your own legal representation. The legal contract phase takes approximately 2— 4 weeks; however, your legal representation stands by to support you and your Surrogate throughout the journey.
Physician’s Surrogacy acts as a liaison between your Reproductive Endocrinologist, your Surrogate, and your IVF coordinator, providing additional resources and support until graduation.
We help with the coordination of logistics and monitoring, including making sure that your Surrogate Mother maintains timely contact with the IVF center and attends all necessary appointments.
Collaborating with your IVF center guarantees that we are working together as a team, providing you with the best possible outcome.
You’ll receive updates directly from Physician’s Surrogacy, rather than the Surrogate, after every appointment. This ensures that you’re receiving timely and accurate information regarding your baby. As an OB-managed agency, Physician’s Surrogacy provides you with the option of electing for additional antenatal testing to be done providing reassurance of the healthy progress of your baby.
Antenatal testing is used to evaluate your baby’s well-being throughout your surrogate’s pregnancy. For many of our Intended Parents, antenatal testing provides reassurance that their baby will be healthy and reduces the chances of unforeseen challenges. While in many OB offices this testing is reserved only for high-risk pregnancies, most Intended Parents who undergo IVF and surrogacy view it as peace of mind that their child will be healthy. Unfortunately, most Intended Parents are not even aware these tests are available, nor do they have the opportunity to elect to have them done. As an OB-managed agency, Physician’s Surrogacy secures your options and provides reassurance for a successful outcome.
As physicians, we understand the importance of timeliness and the delicate details of medical protocols. We work closely with your IVF center from the beginning of the IVF process until graduation, ensuring a smooth start to the pregnancy.
Working closely with you and your Surrogate, we support you by ordering NIPT testing (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) and providing the results to the managing OB, a service no other agency offers. NIPT is a DNA test to screen for the most common chromosomal abnormalities, including Down Syndrome (trisomy 21), Edwards Syndrome (trisomy 18), and Patau Syndrome (trisomy 13).
The culmination of this exciting journey is welcoming your newborn into the world. Leading up to the delivery, you and your Surrogate Mother enjoy round-the-clock support, preparing everyone for the arrival of your bundle of joy. Once the baby is born and in your loving care, we continue to provide post-delivery support to the Surrogate for an additional 3 to 6 months.
For international parents, Arrangements can be made for on-site concierge support during the delivery of your baby and the hospital stay.
If needed, help is provided to secure passports and visas, allowing you to focus on your new family.
There are various reasons why people consider this option to build their families. You and your partner may want to have a baby through a surrogate to overcome following conditions:
Advanced maternal age when pregnancy is impossible or unsafe for the intended mother
When the physician cannot pinpoint the cause of your infertility
When the woman has uterine problems preventing her from achieving pregnancy
When the woman has had her womb removed through surgery (hysterectomy)
When the woman is on drugs that cannot be taken during pregnancy
LGBTQ+ couples and individuals who cannot conceive on their own

OpenWith us, you will never have to wait weeks to get matched with a surrogate and begin your surrogacy journey. We offer a comprehensive service model, which enables us to reduce the amout of time it typically takes to complete a surrogacy journey by 200% or more.
Our selection criteria are more stringent than the widely accepted standards stipulated by the FDA. We require that all potential surrogates undergo our physician-designed prescreening process to be sure they are physically and emotionally ready to embark on a surrogacy journey.
One of our experienced doctors will closely monitor the gestational carrier and the child through medical reports and interaction with the surrogate's obstetrician and the clinic's IVF experts. We'll then send detailed updates to the hopeful parents, who may talk to our in-house physician directly if they have any worries or concerns.
You and your surrogate mother will be represented by a separate lawyer during the contract drafting and negotiation to avoid conflicts of interest. The surrogacy agreement will also contain clear terms and guidelines for both of you to follow. Our in-house legal counsel will be available to help you establish the parentage of the surrogate baby and put your name on the child's birth certificate.
We offer dedicated support teams for intended parents and surrogates to ensure a smooth and successful surrogacy process for everyone involved. Both parties will have their own case managers, who will support and guide them through every step of the way.
There are many organizations that want to help you build your family through surrogacy by helping to finance your journey. These organizations provide non-repayable grants for those who meet their qualifications. Below are some organizations listed, that ease the financial burden:
Our Surrogate was originally going to visit her previous OB who had delivered her children. However, due to the distance from where she lived to the hospital, she needed to see a doctor at a closer location. Through their vast network, Physician’s Surrogacy was able to find a practicing OB closer to the hospital and ensured that they had the capacity to handle a high-risk case. They also made sure that the hospital had the proper level NICU. It was all worked out so quickly and our surrogate was able to be seen by the new OB the same week!
My Surrogate was medically cleared and completely healthy when we started our journey, but during a routine check-up, her OB noticed she had an elevated AFP level during the second trimester. Naturally, we all got really scared and imagined the worst-case scenario. Luckily, a physician from Physician’s Surrogacy was able to coordinate a meeting with a Perinatologist, GYN Oncologist, and the OB to devise a plan to ensure that both the Surrogate and baby were safe. I am happy to say our surrogate’s amino fluid tested normal and we have a healthy baby!
Our Surrogate journey was relatively easy until she had unexpected bleeding and pre-term contractions. A physician stepped in and did a peer-to-peer with her managing OB and they both decided on the proper protocol in order to ensure a safe journey and delivery. Our Surrogate was put on bed rest and she had our full support along with her Surrogate support manager, case manager and the entire Physician’s Surrogacy team! Without our agency being physician managed, I don’t know what our outcome would have been! I am so happy our Surrogate was healthy and safe and so was our baby boy!
Yes, you can! If you don’t have an IVF center yet, we will also provide you with options for embryo creation. We partner with the best fertility clinics in the U.S. and can also create embryos here at one of our partner clinics
You have come to the right place! Aside from our OB-managed model, we are known for always having prescreened Surrogates ready to match! Here at Physician’s Surrogacy, we receive applications from women in 43 states nationwide. They must undergo our extensive pre-screening process, including medical, psychological, and social screening. We manage the details and will present the candidate that most closely aligns with your clinic’s criteria, your criteria, and her personal preferences, making it the perfect match. This comprehensive approach allows us to match you with the ideal Surrogate, whether she is a first-time Surrogate Mother or an experienced Surrogate.
There’s not one answer to this question of a Surrogate Mother price, as the overall cost depends on several factors involved in surrogacy. Your Intended Parents’ coordinator will outline the services required during surrogacy and our fixed-rate compensation cost structure. Immediately after your complimentary consultation, we will provide a price quotation. The quotation will follow your circumstances and preferences. At Physician’s Surrogacy, we pride ourselves on our transparency with our services and pricing. Schedule a free consultation today to receive a transparent quote that will help you understand the total cost of surrogacy.
Due to the variability in Surrogate compensation and other state-specific factors, surrogacy in the US can cost anywhere between $120,000 to $160,000.
The best way to find a Surrogate Mother is to go through a reputable surrogacy agency, such as Physician’s Surrogacy. It is crucial you have surrogacy professionals carry out the process so your journey remains safe and seamless.
Some ask a family member, and others pursue independent journeys, but both scenarios lack safeguards for yourself and your Surrogate. Moreover, an agency ensures you have legal support from the surrogacy contract to parentage, which you may be missing otherwise.
A Gestational Surrogate or a Gestational Carrier is a woman who becomes pregnant using an embryo created by the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF). The Surrogate may achieve pregnancy using the mother’s eggs and the father’s sperm. Gestational surrogacy also offers the option to use donor eggs or donor sperm. There will be no genetic relationship to the Surrogate.
In surrogacy, the Surrogate Mother carries and delivers a baby for another woman, couple, or individual person (the Intended Parent). In gestational surrogacy, the gestational carrier does not have a biological relation to the child, due to the Surrogate Mother’s eggs not being used in the process. Instead, the embryo is created by using the intended father’s sperm or donor sperm and the intended mother’s eggs or donor eggs.
Anyone can. Physician’s Surrogacy wants to help you build your family regardless of marital status, sexual orientation, or gender identity. The U.S. states that our Surrogates come from all have very favorable legislation and don’t restrict surrogacy to only traditional family models. That means that, unlike a lot of other countries that offer surrogacy programs (e.g. Ukraine), anyone can become a parent with us in California. Other countries don’t permit single parents, unmarried couples, homosexual couples, or intended parent(s) who need a double donor to become a parent through surrogacy due to legislation. This is why the U.S. is such a popular place for surrogacy journeys from parents around the world.
A Surrogate is a woman who carries and delivers a baby for another individual/couple who is otherwise unable to have a baby or carry a pregnancy. In traditional surrogacy, the Surrogate gets artificially inseminated with the father’s sperm/donor sperm. A traditional Surrogate is the baby’s biological mother as her eggs were used to create the embryo. This practice is antiquated and has been replaced with gestational surrogacy.
A gestational Surrogate or gestational carrier does not have genetic connections with the baby as intended mother’s eggs/donor eggs are used to create the embryo. Physician’s Surrogacy only offers gestational surrogacy.
Having a Surrogate mother can be a viable option in cases such as:
There are several reasons why a woman would choose to become a Surrogate mother for someone else. Some Surrogates have seen a friend or family member experience issues with infertility. Thus, they are eager to help a couple or individuals become parents. Others may feel that their family is complete but love being pregnant. They may feel that helping prospective parents is their greater calling.
The total cost of a surrogacy arrangement includes numbers of factors such as agency fees, Surrogate compensation, medical expenses, fertility clinic fees and legal fees. However, there are more parameters that also affect the surrogacy costs like country, state, special medical condition etc. Hence, depending on these variables, total expenses incurred in surrogacy differs greatly. It is always best to consult a surrogacy expert to get a better understanding about different factors that can impact the surrogacy costs.
Yes. Once you get a match with a Surrogate, we will draft an agreement. We will negotiate it on your behalf with your Surrogate’s independent attorney. These contracts cover everything from the medical procedure to your Surrogate Mother’s reimbursement costs during the whole surrogacy process. It will also clearly mention the amount of contact you would like to have with the Surrogate during the process. There are two separate attorneys in the process. One will represent you, the Intended Parents while the other represents the Surrogate. This avoids any conflict of interest.
The amount of contact between the Intended Parents and the Surrogate varies case by case. Both parties shall determine & agree upon the contract during the matching process. Some cultures are a little more closed off than others; however, the relationship and communication develop as the journey progresses.
It depends on the agency you choose to work with. Most agencies have a 6-18 month waiting list to match with a surrogate. Some also require you to sign a contract and pay agency fees for them to begin the process of matching. Physician’s Surrogacy offers complimentary matching, and you can match with your Surrogate as quickly as a week. On average, the typical timeline is two weeks.
If you do not live in the United States, you will need to travel to the U.S. at least once. This trip is for the delivery of your child. Another time would be to create your embryos at a U.S. clinic. If you prefer creating the embryos without having to travel, you can choose to either have your embryo transported or send your eggs/sperm to the U.S. clinic. Should you choose to come to the U.S. for the embryo creation the trip will include an introductory meeting with the Surrogate. On the same visit, we conduct your medical screening and then the creation of the embryos at the IVF clinic.
The surrogacy timeline can be broken down into six stages: Consultation, Matching, Screening, Legal, Conception, and Pregnancy/Delivery.
*Consultation: The entire process begins with a complimentary consultation with our experienced team. In this meeting, you’ll have an opportunity to share your story with us and why you’ve chosen surrogacy to grow your family, we will explain our process and program offerings, and answer any questions you have.
*Matching: Our average matching timeline is one week. We attribute this successful and dynamic matching time lime to our comprehensive 3-4-month medical pre-screening of our Surrogates done through OB supervision. Before you are presented with a potential Surrogate candidate, she has already gone through a thorough background check, all of her medical history has been screened by our physician team, and lastly, she has undergone proper and necessary lab work which then qualifies her to become an eligible candidate through our agency.
*Screening: Once we have a confirmed two-way match (Intended Parents & Surrogate) the Surrogate will then go through the final stages of medical screening and psychological screening through the IVF clinic chosen by the Intended Parents. Once the Surrogate has been cleared, we then move into the legal phase.
*Legal: Since all our pricing across the board is a flat rate, the surrogate’s compensation as well as legal insurance and the agency fee, have already been predetermined. This makes the contract portion of this process very streamlined. You will have unlimited access to your attorney and your Surrogate’s attorney during the contractual phase as well as the entire journey.
Our flat rate cost structure includes:
The Surrogate mothers’ compensation cost.
Legal representation for both sides.
Medical expenses.
Insurance.
The agency fee.
Almost all of these surrogacy-related procedures come with predetermined costs.
*Conception: Your Surrogate can begin her IVF treatment once medical clearance and legal clearance are completed.
*Pregnancy/Delivery: Throughout the pregnancy phase of the journey, you will have weekly detailed updates from your case manager outlining any, and all new information regarding your Surrogate and child.
You, as the Intended Parent will be the one who will have full parental rights to the baby. Also, it is your name that will appear on the birth certificate.
There are several factors that influence the overall success rates of Surrogacy pregnancy. These factors can include the health and viability of the embryos used and the health of your Surrogate. As an Ob-Managed surrogacy agency we ensure that our Surrogates are medically prescreened before even being presented to you. The IVF clinic you work with also plays a vital role. Your fertility clinic can help you determine your best chances of achieving a successful pregnancy. Not only that but also the clinic will perform it under your specific circumstances. Besides, most surrogacy professionals will perform multiple embryo transfers. It continues until achieving a healthy pregnancy. This makes the overall surrogacy success rate very high.
All funds related to your surrogacy (including medical expenses for the Surrogate) will be held in a trust account. An experienced escrow company will manage the account. This way all monies due for your Surrogate fees and reimbursement of related expenses are paid in a timely manner. Finally, the surrogacy agency will be handling all financial matters. This arrangement effectively removes the payment related component from your relationship with the Intended Parents during the process.
There are different options to finance your surrogacy journey such as fertility loans, surrogacy grants, or personal lines of credit. To read further about how to finance your Surrogate price click here.
