Choosing the right surrogacy agency is one of the most important decisions you’ll make on your journey to parenthood. The right agency will provide support, expertise, and peace of mind—while the wrong one can lead to unnecessary stress, delays, or even legal complications.
At Dreams of Parenthood (DOP USA), we believe in transparency and informed decision-making. To help you find the best agency for your needs, here are the essential questions you should ask before making your choice.
1. Agency Experience & Reputation
Key Questions:
✔ How long has your agency been in operation?
✔ How many successful surrogacy journeys have you facilitated?
✔ Can you provide references or testimonials from past intended parents and surrogates?
Why It Matters:
Experience matters in surrogacy. Established agencies have refined their processes, built strong relationships with clinics and attorneys, and can navigate challenges effectively.
2. Surrogate Screening & Matching Process
Key Questions:
✔ What are your surrogate eligibility requirements? (Health, background, psychological screening)
✔ How do you match surrogates with intended parents? (Personality, values, preferences)
✔ What happens if a match doesn’t work out?
Why It Matters:
A thorough screening process ensures the surrogate is physically and emotionally prepared. A good matching system increases the chances of a harmonious journey.
3. Legal & Financial Transparency
Key Questions:
✔ Do you work with experienced surrogacy attorneys?
✔ What legal protections are in place for both surrogates and intended parents?
✔ Can you provide a clear breakdown of all costs? (Including potential unexpected expenses)
Why It Matters:
Surrogacy involves complex legal contracts. A reputable agency ensures all parties are protected and fully informed about financial obligations.
4. Medical & Emotional Support
Key Questions:
✔ Which fertility clinics do you partner with? (Are they reputable and FDA-compliant?)
✔ What kind of medical and psychological support do you provide for surrogates?
✔ Do you offer counseling for intended parents during the process?
Why It Matters:
Medical expertise and emotional care are critical for a smooth surrogacy experience. Agencies should prioritize the well-being of both surrogates and parents.
5. Communication & Case Management
Key Questions:
✔ Who will be our main point of contact throughout the journey?
✔ How often will we receive updates?
✔ What is your policy for handling emergencies or unexpected issues?
Why It Matters:
Clear, consistent communication prevents misunderstandings and ensures you’re supported at every stage.
6. Post-Birth Support & Legal Parentage
Key Questions:
✔ How do you handle the legal process for establishing parental rights after birth?
✔ What post-delivery support do you offer surrogates and intended parents?
✔ Are there any additional fees after the baby is born?
Why It Matters:
The journey doesn’t end at delivery—parental rights, surrogate care, and final payments must be handled properly.
