For Potential Parents:

How to Choose a Surrogacy Agency

The first and most important decision you will have to make is which surrogacy and egg donation agency you want to work with. You want to feel comfortable and confident that the agency you choose will be there to help guide and support you throughout the entire process. We pride ourselves on going above and beyond to make sure parents are happy and fulfilled throughout their parenthood journey. We have laid out some key questions that every intended parent should ask every surrogacy agency they are considering working with. At Conceptual Options, we meet and exceed all of these criteria and are happy to answer any questions that may come up at any point in the process. We have been in business since 1999 and have helped hundreds of people just like you with surrogacy services and the birth of a child.

How do you find my Surrogate?

We like to consider Surrogate Screening one of our top priorities at Conceptual Options. Not only do Surrogate have to pass through our tough Surrogate Requirements, but they will also talk with a mental health professional. One of our Client Relations Managers will also discuss what level of contact the potential Surrogate applicant is comfortable with, whether she is comfortable with carrying multiple babies or just one, and whether her goals align with yours as the Intended Parents. When it comes to matching you with your potential Surrogate Mother we take into account all of these things, including levels of privacy wanted from all parties, and use our Surrogate Database and one of our expert Client Relations Managers to match you with someone who shares the same goals and preferences as you do. Remember, at this point in this process, no upfront costs have been paid. No costs are paid until you have been matched with your Surrogate, Egg Donor, Sperm Donor, Clinic, and Lawyer, and then a retainer for services is signed. No waiting lists and no up-front fees.
