We use a Parent Choice model to help parents find available surrogates who match their criteria easily and quickly:
The ‘Old School’ Agency Model
-
A single-agency commitment
-
Up-front payment of one-third to one-half of the agency fee (on average $45,000 or more) before they will show any surrogate profiles
-
Bumped back to a long wait list if you don’t like the single option they provide
-
On average, over a year-long wait until matched with a surrogate
The Parent Choice Model
-
A designated case manager who is committed to every step of your journey
-
A search across over 80 surrogacy agencies
-
Surrogates who meet ASRM guidelines and are likely to be approved by your doctor
-
Potential to match within 0-3 months of starting with Donor Concierge
-
Only sign and pay with a surrogacy agency once they have your preferred gestational carrier available to carry your baby
We understand your eagerness to find a match and move on to the next step of your family-building journey as quickly as possible. We will share a portfolio of top-tier choices that are aligned to your desired criteria. Our team will work with you to be mindful of budgetary (and emotional) constraints. We can share resources on financial guidance upon request.

“We really felt like the case manager was tailoring searches to meet our criteria and had our interests firmly at heart.”
Christophe and Samuel, Paris, France
“I’m so glad I sought out your help. I did wonder – since I'm a single woman and paying entirely out of pocket – whether it was a luxury I couldn’t really afford, but it is/was certainly an area I had little experience with it seemed sensible. Well now it seems a lot more than just “sensible” – I am so thankful for all your assistance.”
Alice from Australia
“If you are like me researching for a surrogacy and egg donor solution, as a single male, on the internet, you will soon find yourself frustrated with the mass and conflicted information to digest. Finding [Donor Concierge] was the beginning of the solution for me. With their knowledge and network, [Donor Concierge] put me on the right track immediately. Within weeks of working with them, I found and chose my egg donor and surrogate. Now, I am a proud father of a happy baby girl.”
George from San Francisco
