Using an Agency for Surrogacy

Women considering surrogacy are embarking upon an important journey. There are many questions to be answered and many details to be finalized. At the International Assisted Reproduction Center (IARC), we work with surrogates to ensure that the experience is everything they hoped it would be. We take care of all the details, answer all questions, and make sure that payment for surrogate services is delivered in a timely way.

Women thinking about making this gift to infertile parents should consider the benefits of a surrogate agency. The advantages of an agency include:

• Parents are screened and introduced by the agency
• All medical arrangements are made
• Communications are handled by the agency, minimizing friction and stress between parents and surrogates
• Parents pay the agency fees and cover all the costs through the agency
• Any contact with the child and parents after the birth can be negotiated through the agency
• Referrals available to counselors and other professionals as needed
• Legal advice about the enforceability of a surrogacy contract in your state and other issues
• Travel arrangements are made for you when needed by the surrogate agency
• Medical referrals made by the agency
• Help you prepare for the parent interview
• Advice on setting the surrogacy fees charged

We take care of these and any issues that arise during your time as a surrogate. We are also available to answer questions from individuals thinking of surrogacy. Our current surrogates are remarkable women. Contact us to learn more about joining them. Call us at 763.494.8800.
