Surrogacy 101: Choose your Agency

Surrogacy 101: Choose Your Agency

Why Simple Surrogacy Should Be Your First Step Toward Parenthood

Beginning the journey of surrogacy is a deeply personal and life-changing decision. Whether you’re a hopeful parent who has tried every avenue to conceive or a single individual or couple ready to grow your family, choosing the right agency will be one of the most crucial decisions you make on this path. And like most people, your journey likely begins where everything else does these days: online.

You’re here, reading this, because you’re doing your research—and that’s smart. With so much information available online, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. There are countless surrogacy agencies, matching consultants, lawyers, medical clinics, and discussion forums all offering their take on how to begin. But not all agencies are created equal. When you’re entrusting an organization to guide you through the intimate and intricate process of creating your family, you want more than flashy websites or slick marketing—you want empathy, experience, and ethics. You want Simple Surrogacy.

The Simple Difference: 23 Years of Insider Expertise

Founded in 2002, Simple Surrogacy has been proudly serving Intended Parents for over 23 years. We are one of the most established agencies in the United States, and during that time, we’ve had the honor of helping thousands of Intended Parents realize their dreams of parenthood.

But what truly sets us apart isn’t just our longevity—it’s our leadership. Simple Surrogacy is 100% privately owned by women who are former surrogates, egg donors, and Intended Parents themselves. We’ve stood exactly where you’re standing. We’ve had the same hopes, fears, and questions. We’ve been in the exam rooms, read the contracts, navigated the legal systems, and celebrated the first cries of babies we thought we’d never hold. That insider perspective allows us to support you not only with professional expertise but with profound compassion and understanding.

Unlike many other agencies—especially those now owned by private equity firms—Simple Surrogacy is not driven by investor profit margins. We don’t answer to shareholders; we answer to you. Our commitment is to our clients, not our bottom line. That means every decision we make is rooted in ethics, transparency, and personal care. We believe that surrogacy is not just a business; it’s a calling.

Personalized Care from Start to Finish

At Simple Surrogacy, we understand that no two journeys to parenthood are the same. Our team takes the time to truly get to know you—your preferences, values, lifestyle, and dreams for your family. From your very first consultation, we work with you one-on-one to tailor your experience. Whether you’re a same-sex couple, a single parent, a couple struggling with infertility, or an international family looking to build your family in the U.S., we’re here to ensure your journey is smooth, supported, and successful.

Our matching process is highly personalized and thorough. We don’t just pair you with the first surrogate who comes along. Instead, we ensure compatibility on every level—medical, psychological, legal, emotional, and even personality. We facilitate in-depth discussions, background checks, and shared values to help foster a harmonious relationship between you and your surrogate.

Ethical Screening and a Vast Network

One of the most important functions of a surrogacy agency is ensuring that all parties—Intended Parents and Surrogates alike—are fully prepared and qualified to undertake this life-altering commitment.

At Simple Surrogacy, our surrogate screening process is comprehensive. Our surrogates undergo:

  • Detailed background checks
  • Medical screenings aligned with ASRM (American Society for Reproductive Medicine) guidelines
  • Psychological evaluations conducted by licensed professionals
  • In-depth interviews with our program coordinators
  • Review of lifestyle, health history, and support systems

We partner with many of the top fertility clinics across the United States, and we are proud to have earned the trust and respect of leading reproductive endocrinologists and legal experts.

Because we’ve been in this space for over two decades, we have longstanding relationships with clinics, attorneys, escrow managers, and psychologists, which enables us to provide a seamless experience from start to finish.

Trusted by the Community: Glowing Reviews and Real Results

Our greatest pride is the consistent, glowing feedback we receive from the families we’ve helped build. We encourage you to Google us, explore our testimonials, and ask for references. We’re happy to connect you with past clients—families who were once in your shoes—so you can hear directly from them about their experience with Simple Surrogacy.

As one Intended Parent recently wrote,

“From day one, Simple Surrogacy made us feel seen, heard, and respected. They guided us through every step with professionalism and warmth, and today, we are the proud parents of a beautiful baby boy. We couldn’t have done it without them.”

We know this journey is emotional. That’s why we’re committed to providing you not only with expertise but with a human touch. Our agency is responsive, empathetic, and supportive. When you reach out, you won’t be shuffled through layers of customer service—you’ll speak directly with knowledgeable professionals who care.

Financial Transparency and Protection

Surrogacy is a significant financial investment, and you deserve to know exactly how your funds are being used. At Simple Surrogacy, we provide detailed breakdowns of all program costs up front. There are no surprise fees, no hidden charges, and no ambiguous fine print. We believe in full transparency.

We also provide bonded and insured escrow accounts to ensure your money is secure. Our experienced escrow managers handle all payments to your surrogate, ensuring she is compensated fairly and promptly under the terms of your agreement. This helps protect your financial investment and eliminates awkwardness in your personal relationship with your surrogate.

Legal Expertise and Peace of Mind

Surrogacy involves complex legal arrangements, especially as laws vary across states and countries. Simple Surrogacy works with some of the most respected surrogacy attorneys in the country to ensure that all parties are fully protected under the law. Your attorney will guide you through drafting your Gestational Carrier Agreement, securing pre- or post-birth parentage orders, and ensuring all documentation is handled efficiently and accurately.

We take a proactive approach, encouraging clear legal agreements from the outset that reflect what was agreed upon during matching. This minimizes negotiation, stress, or misunderstandings later. Our legal process is streamlined, and because we are deeply familiar with the legal landscapes in surrogacy-friendly states like Texas, California, and Illinois, we can help you navigate with confidence.
