    I recommend ISC whole heartedly to future surrogates and intended parents. I started my journey with ISC in 2021 after I had completed my first journey with another company in SoCal. I had a few concerns about the company I worked with my first journey and a friend highly recommended ISC, so after doing some research and joining their surrogate support group meeting I made the switch for my next

    We truly can’t say enough good things about our experience with ISC. From the very beginning, everyone was genuinely warm, and we felt supported, informed, and genuinely cared for throughout what can be a very emotional and complicated journey. The whole team was wonderful to work with - responsive, kind, patient, and always there when we had questions or needed guidance. They were able to match

    Just finished my first surrogacy with ISC and couldn’t recommend them more! They are extremely communicative and they made sure i had an amazing experience every step of the way. I’m currently 4 weeks postpartum and can’t wait to start another journey with them already! I worked with Angela and she was amazing, I never had a single question that went unanswered :)

    I don't think I can say enough good things about ISC! I knew very little about surrogacy when I landed on ISC. I had a ton of questions & their team never left any unanswered. I started my journey in December 2024 & delivered in April 2026. From the start, my matching coordinator & then case manager *Heather* (& really every single person I came in contact with) kept me well informed, & moved the

  • Tara NTara NMay 2026Surrogate

    I applied to ISC in July of 2024 and had surro baby in April of 2026! As a first time surrogate, I would say I had an amazing experience with ISC. They handled every step like professionals, and also incredibly friendly and thoughtful. A special thank you to Kim, Christy, and Samantha for helping me along the way, you guys are the best! I didn’t know how having international IPs would go, but the

    Where do I even begin?! I finished my first surrogacy journey in February and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning to the very end(and even now), all of the ISC team members were absolutely amazing. So kind, helpful, supportive, professional, and educated. I never felt alone during my journey. My case manager Brandy was always there for me and was just the best. I

    We completed two surrogacy journeys with ISC, and looking back, choosing them was one of the best decisions we made throughout this process. ISC was initially part of our shortlist of agencies, with the ability to review surrogate profiles without paying a deposit upfront. We also received profiles very quickly, which made the beginning of the process feel transparent and efficient. Their
