Choosing a surrogacy agency is one of the most important decisions in your family-building journey. With nearly three decades of experience, Conceptual Options stands out as a trusted, full-service agency that prioritizes personalized care, ethical practices, and successful outcomes for both Intended Parents and Surrogates.
Founded in 1999 and headquartered in San Diego, California, Conceptual Options has helped hundreds of families worldwide through gestational surrogacy and egg donation. Unlike larger or newer agencies that can feel impersonal, Conceptual Options emphasizes a hands-on, team-based approach. Dedicated case managers, psychologists, attorneys, and medical coordinators work together to manage every detail—from matching and IVF coordination to legal contracts and post-birth support—reducing stress and risk for everyone involved.
A key differentiator is our personalized matching process. Rather than treating matches as transactional, we at Conceptual Options focus on shared values, expectations, and compatibility. This fosters respectful relationships, whether Intended Parents prefer open communication or more privacy. Our multi-lingual case managers (fluent in Spanish, Chinese, and French) further support our international clients, making the process smoother for families from more than 30 countries.
For Surrogates, Conceptual Options is often called “The Surrogate’s Choice.” Compensation is competitive and flexible—often totaling up to $120,000+—with transparent structures that include signing bonuses, monthly allowances, milestone payments, and coverage for medical, travel, and related expenses. Surrogates also receive 24/7 support, compensated monthly support groups, psychological counseling, and dedicated advocates who treat them as valued partners rather than numbers. Many return for additional journeys, a strong indicator of satisfaction.
Conceptual Options also prioritizes quality over quantity in its egg donor database and maintains a clear “no fees until matched” policy for Intended Parents. We warmly support diverse family structures, including same-sex couples, single parents, and those facing infertility, while leveraging California’s progressive reproductive laws.
In a field where experience, transparency, and genuine support matter most, Conceptual Options delivers a more personal, comprehensive, and reliable experience than many competitors.
