We are extremely happy and lucky to have gone through our 2 journeys with the help of The Fertility Agency. We started just before Covid and matched with an amazing surrogate - a woman who soon enough became a key figure, soulmate and close friend how we deeply love and cherish. She gave birth to our son and daughter in two journeys. The whole experience was supportive and positive - we were matched within the promised time frame by Lauri and Michelle, our case manager, was super professional and communicative throughout the journey. We can not thank The Fertility Agency enough for everything they have done and their contribution to help us have a beautiful family. We highly recommend this team of experts and urge you to be next!…

We started our surrogacy journey three years ago. We interviewed several agencies and compared costs while understanding our gut feelings. We live in the UK and it is difficult to have a surrogacy journey when you are so far away, you loose your sense of control as there isn’t much you can actually do to move things forward. The Fertility Agency came highly recommended from our contact at San Diego Fertility Clinic and mostly dealt with Kathryn and Heather. It was clear from the very start that they genuinely cared and have a true passion to help create family, we knew we could trust them, they have a wonderful balance of being practical and approachable. We had a couple of delays in our journey due to unforeseen circumstances and Kahryn and Heather were always supportive and understanding when we needed to take a break. They went far and beyond their roles to support us, which gave us the strength not to give up. Everything is simple when there are no problems but you recognise the true professionals when things don’t go to plan. They make you feel safe to keep going, and this is is priceless. We are for ever grateful to have met such genuinely wonderful people that have lead us to the birth of our daughter on August 19th. Thank you for helping us create our family,…

My experience with The Fertility Agency has been beyond amazing. I am a gestational surrogate and just delivered last week. My journey has been everything I hoped it would be. I had such a great experience that I decided to seek employment with the agency. I put a lot of thought and research into the agency I chose. The fact that everyone on their team has either been a surrogate, IP, or affected by infertility in some way was something that made me very comfortable. My case manager Heather H was incredible. I cannot put into words how supportive, helpful, and compassionate she has been. Every step of the way I felt like I was fully informed and had someone to talk to with any questions or concerns I had. Being a gestational surrogate was the most heartwarming, fulfilling experience and I highly recommend The Fertility Agency to if you are looking for a wonderful team of people to guide you.…

What an amazing surrogacy journey we experienced with The Fertility Agency. Pat, Heather, Lauri and the whole team were so professional and attentive. They helped us to find the best surrogate that we could ever ask for. Every question we had was quickly answered and any issue was immediately handled in the most professional way. They made sure to maintain a good connection between us and the surrogate and always wanted everyone to feel comfortable. We will always cherish this agency and definitely recommend everyone who is about to start his surrogacy journey, to work with The Fertility Agency.…

There is no room for doubt at all, they are amazing. The personal attitude, the experience, the professionals who accompany you throughout the process, and especially a lot of recommendations from friends and people we know. All of these made us as IPs to choose them as our agency. They matched us with a surrogate that was a perfect match for us. Throughout the process Lauri, Kathryn and Michelle keep in touch with you and your GC and provide all the information you need and available any time to answer any question you may have. They are linked to professionals all over the United States, which is extremely important when choosing clinic, insurance company, lawyers and trustees. Today after we have completed the journey we have no doubt that we would have chosen them once again (and again and again) to be our agency.…

Hi we are Eitan and David, From Tel Aviv, Israel It is our privilege to tell our story: We are very excited to be parents! Our journey was long with quite a few bumps along the way, But everything is forgotten compared to the feeling of holding our two beautiful, healthy and cute little babies in your hands. We wanted to especially thank the agency Agency for Surrogacy Solutions, that has accompanied us hand in hand over the years. In a brave, professional and compassionate way, We were matched with the perfect surrogate for us Special thanks to the staff who gave us a quick, courteous answer at any time, and to any question! We appreciate the way we did together on creating our family for life!…
I am a very grateful intended parent who worked with Lauri and her team at The Fertility Agency. We were matched in short order with the most incredible gestational surrogate who gave us a perfect, health baby girl! Working with the agency was a joy and they handled all the challenges right along side us. It was reassuring to have their support and guidance all along the journey. Thank you, TFA!

I am a GS who had my first journey through The Fertility Agency and I’m currently starting my second with them after having such a fantastic first journey. I worked with Cortney and Michelle as my case manager. They were both fantastic. The process was easy to follow, communication was never lacking (even on the occasional weekend). Clinic clearance, psych eval, insurance review was quick and painless as well. Matching after was quick (both times). All in all I had such a fantastic first journey I didn’t hesitate when I was ready for a second.…
I used The Fertility Agency for my first surrogacy, and I have had a great experience! My surrogacy coordinator, Cortney Price, has been great to work with, and I have felt supported throughout my entire journey. I would recommend them if you are interested in becoming a surrogate!
I was contacted and told (email) that if I finished all the required paper work and online application (took me HOURS) within a week - I would receive a $100 gift card , when I did that and was later found out not to be qualified bc of a medical reason … Brittany S. Did not say anything about the gift card - I emailed her later and she said that is only if you are matched. The email did not say that and simply said if completed within a week. Very disappointed that she didn’t Stick to her word. I would not recommend them as they couldn’t even stick to their word over something so small , that who knows what else they go back on.…
We had an amazing journey with the dedicated crew who runs this magical business. A business which feels like being a part of your family. All of our initial worries and concerns soon were faded and this wasn't taken for granted, especially after we had a bad experience before. The confident, trust, devotion and support we needed felt like a breath of fresh air. We were given a timeframe, everything worked out as it was presented to us in the beginning, no surprises, maybe just good ones which we didn't expect. We can't thank enough the wonderful women who helped us with creating the family we always dreamt of 💜 from the bottom of our hearts - Pat, Laurie - we LOVE you 🧡…
As I’m running, not walking into my second surrogacy journey through this agency, I must say a recommendation from me is long overdue. I had the opportunity after my last one (a whole year ago now) to do this again, which meant also exploring other agencies but guess what? Because I had such a good experience and built such good relationships I couldn’t leave. Not to mention this agency is very realistic when it comes to recognizing that women having different bodies - their expectations of us moms who’ve put on a little baby weight are fair and we still get the opportunity to help. I appreciate that. They are very understanding and always ready to help or answer questions which is also something I can really get behind. If it wasn’t for this agency I never would have had my last surro baby, or met the most amazing IPs. If you’re looking into surrogacy, this is the place to do it. I trust them and I trust they’re process, enough to where I’m back doing it all over again. 🫶…
we highly and strongly recommend The fertily Agency. they are extremely professional and kind. we finished our journey in August and we are now proud dad of a beautiful baby girl. we could not have asked for better support
It has been a amazing in everything since day one and i am so happy with everything and when i do another surragacny i will be happy with the same results in eveything thanks so much for helping me and guiding me as well .Heather B, Brittany S both are awesome and amazing
I absolutely love this agency. They are so caring. My case manager talks me through everything and is there for me anytime. Can’t recommend them enough.
During my journey I have recieved nothing but help when it comes to support, questions or with doctors ! Thank you Heather and Brittany
I couldn’t be any happier with Brittany and Heather. They both are great with communication and keeping me up to date with where we are at in the process. They not only do that but they just follow up to see how I’m doing and to see how I’m feeling. They are kind of like family at this point. They show an interest not only in the paperwork aspect of things, but in my whole entire journey. They also give encouragement on days in this process where things may not go as planned. I couldn’t be happier to have these to apart of mine and my IPs journey. Thank you both for your amazing work.…
I had an amazing experience as a surrogate for The Fertility Agency. They did a wonderful job matching me with a couple that I got along with well. They took their time explaining the steps and answering my questions along the way. I really felt supported. My journey was amazing and I was able to help bring a beautiful little baby into the world for very deserving IPs. I would highly recommend The Fertility agency.
I can’t say enough great things about The Fertility Agency. I was matched with the perfect intended parents. I had some unexpected complications during my pregnancy and my coordinator was there every step of the way. If I were to do another journey it would absolutely be with this agency!
I absolutely love this agency! They have the most incredible staff and coordinators! I had my first surrogate baby through them and I’m starting my second journey with them! They matched me with the best Intended parents. I absolutely love Heather and Brittany!
I’ve had quite an adventure with the Fertility Agency as a gestational surrogate. I built great relationships with with my surrogacy coordinator and case managers, as well as the agency’s founders, Kathryn and Lauri. They were all very supportive throughout the entire process. They answered any and all questions I had, heard me out, and had my back. If you’re looking for a safe middle party to assist you through your surrogacy journey, the Fertility Agency is the way to go.
I am a 2x surrogate with Agency for Surrogacy Solutions. Lauri and Katherine are absolutely amazing! Their team of wonderful ladies who work for them are amazing too, especially Heather! She just really gets to know the surrogates and their families in her case load. I never felt like just a number, I was family! I am so happy I chose this agency to be a surrogate with. It was so important to me to be treated like family and to be matched with wonderful intended parents. I was never pressured into anything! They truly listened and advocated for me with the RE, the parents, hospital, lawyers, etc whenever I needed it. Doctors bills were always paid on time! Comp was always paid out on time. You honestly will not regret choosing Agency for Surrogacy solutions to work with as either and surrogate or an intended parent(s). Here you are family! Thank you Agency for Surrogacy Solutions for 2 amazing journeys!…
These people are amazing!
