WARNING - Don't waste your time, effort and money!!! Surrogacy journey is difficult with lots of unknowns. Writing this review for Donateorsurrogate if it saves others some pain. We connected with DonateorSurrogate agency to help us find a surrogate. We quickly realized they were a small agency, new in this business, lack of experience e.g., they didn't even know basics about insurance requirements! However, they quickly introduced us to a surrogate who seemed friendly and great on zoom. We were assured everything was in order for medical clearance. Given their obvious lack of experience that showed in every conversation, we still didn't feel comfortable signing up with this agency but wanted to bet on this one surrogate who seemed good. Fast forward, the surrogate had glaring medical issues so did not pass even on paper with our clinic (this wasn't disclosed to us). We wasted more time with their assurance that they have many other suitable surrogates. We had refused to sign the agency contract until she was medically cleared but were told to give some initial payment to "express our sincerity" in moving forward. We were assured it would be returned to us if the surrogate did not pass medical clearance (and we'd have to sign a formal contract and payment anyway if she cleared so it would be refunded anyway) Today - Time lost, effort wasted and never got the money back. The fact that surrogates didn't medically pass on paper with glaring concerns from the doctor leads me to gross negligence or fraud. I will be lodging a complaint with the Better business bureau or even small courts as a matter of principle. Note: The owner comes across as calm, sincere, responsive with everything you want to hear but you will get zero results. Everything will be assured politely, nothing will actually happen.…
Response from DonateOrSurrogate · Feb 2025Good day, I’m sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, but I would like to clarify a few inaccuracies in your statement. As outlined in our contract, each clinic has its own criteria for approving surrogates, and our role as an agency is to submit medical records for their review. Every surrogate, regardless of prior experience, must undergo the clinic’s independent medical screening before moving forward. This is a standard process in surrogacy, and unfortunately, approval is never guaranteed. We understand that you were eager for the process to move quickly, but surrogacy is inherently complex and comes with unpredictable factors that are outside of any agency’s control. Some surrogates receive approval immediately, while in other cases, intended parents may need to consider multiple candidates before finding one who meets the clinic’s specific criteria. Our process followed industry standards, and we were transparent about each step. We also provided additional surrogate profiles and would have continued working with you until you were matched with a suitable candidate. Regarding the 12% deposit fee, this is a non-refundable administration fee, as stated in our contract. However, we never request full agency fees until a surrogate is approved by your clinic, which is why you were not asked to pay beyond the deposit. Additionally, we required a signed contract to ensure that intended parents do not directly contact surrogates outside of our process—this is a standard industry practice designed to protect all parties involved. We regret that this process did not unfold as you had hoped, but we remain committed to upholding ethical and professional surrogacy practices. We wish you the best in your journey and hope you find the right match moving forward. Best regards, Mbali Donate-Or-Surrogate…
