    Good morning, I strongly advise against this agency. They put me in touch with a surrogate mother for whom 3-4 transfers were canceled but the expenses were staggering (between trips, loss of spouse's salary at 500usd/day,...). The person in charge of my case didn't manage anything and was ultimately fired. Then, I am put in contact with a second surrogate mother; no contract has been signed yet…

    I cannot recommend this agency. We have a very terrible experience as we find the agency to be an extremely abusive, non-communicative money grabbers. My advice to all who are willing to risk their most important journey with this agency is: Never accept the standard contract. Only agree to pay the full sum after you have a successful transfer. My review may not stay since I notice other bad reviews got taken down.

    Pitter Patter has been an amazing agency so far. I am a month away from delivery and I am so pleased with the way they made me feel fully supported. I would definitely be a surrogate again through Pitter Patter. They matched me with the most caring and loving Intended Parents.

  • Sam AveryMar 2021Intended Parent

    My husband and I used Pitter Patter and everyone was so kind and helpful. Our journey went so much better than I could have imagined and I am so happy we used them. Our son is perfect, our surrogate was so open and it was a magical experience.

    I wish I could give this company 0 stars. After going through YEARS of back forth, I finally matched and started the process. It did not go well. Broken promises, not getting paid. I had a medical procedure that was horrific. All for nothing. This company owes me $5000 and it’s been a year and still paid me nothing. I even had the contract. They pulled from the escrow account so the company wouldn’t even give me information. So sketchy! Please do not use this company for surrogacy!!!

    I’m an intended parent. This agency is in complete disarray and they are bullies once you sign the contract with them. Never accept the standard contract - make sure you only pay the full sum after a successful transfer happens. Or else you will lose time and money with this abusive agency.

  • Daphnee RoosenDaphnee RoosenApr 2024Intended Parent

    Bonjour, je déconseille fortement cette agence. Ils m'ont mis en lien avec une mère porteuse pour lequel 3-4 transferts ont été annulés mais les dépenses ont été pharamineuses (entre les voyages, les pertes de salaire du conjoint à 500usd/jour,...). La responsable de mon dossier n'a rien géré et a finalement été licenciée.. Ensuite, on me met en contact avec une deuxième mère porteuse; aucun…

    Had a great experience being a surrogate through this agency. Very helpful and a understanding. Cant wait to be a surrogate again.

  • Jude PressJude PressApr 2022Intended Parent

    I feel like I am a very patient and understanding person, but I have to pass on a really bad experience we had with this agency. The potential surrogate they matched us with had had a couple miscarriages, and if not for our clinic inadvertently finding out we may have ended up using her. That might have been the biggest nightmare a parent can imagine. They then matched us with someone who…
