Feedback on Choice Surrogacy is largely positive, though a smaller number of accounts are critical. Those describe problems with compensation and payment, particularly lost wages and postpartum reimbursements, limited follow-up after delivery, and a sales approach during initial calls that felt pressured. Most people praise responsive, prompt communication and feeling supported from screening through delivery.

    I completed my first surrogacy journey and delivered a healthy baby May 3, 2023 with Choice Surrogacy. I have since completed amazing journeys with ConceiveAbilities. Having experienced both agencies, I have a better understanding of what proper agency support should look like. I chose Choice because I lived in Texas at the time and thought working with a Texas-based agency would be the best…

    Response from Choice Surrogacy · Oct 2026

    Moenysha, we remember celebrating the baby’s arrival with you and your family with affection. We recognize that you were upset during your journey, and we offered counseling with a mental health professional to support you. You are entitled to share your experience, but several statements require…

  • Belen MeierSep 2026Surrogate

    My journey with Choice Surrogacy was truly seamless and filled with care. From beginning to end, they stood by me, always making sure I felt supported as a surrogate. Every person on their team went out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed—and if I didn’t, they made sure I did. Their constant communication, transparency, support, and genuine love made all the difference. If you’re…

    Response from Choice Surrogacy · Oct 2026

    Your beautiful words mean so much to us! 💜 It was truly a joy and privilege to be part of your surrogacy journey. Knowing you felt supported, cared for, and valued throughout the process means everything to us. We are so grateful for the trust you placed in Choice and for the incredible gift you…

  • Erika GAug 2026Surrogate

    My experience with Choice Surrogacy was nothing short of incredible! From med checks and transfer all the way through pregnancy, delivery, and even now in my postpartum stage, Trish and Chloe have been there every step of the way. Anytime I needed something, had a question, or just even needed a little reassurance (which happened a couple times, haha) they were incredibly easy to reach and always…

    Response from Choice Surrogacy · Oct 2026

    Oh my goodness, this made us smile from ear to ear! 💜 We certainly had some memorable moments along the way. Watching you navigate this journey with such grace, humor, and dedication was something special. While this may have been your one and only surrogacy journey, what an extraordinary chapter…

  • Robin StopinskiAug 2026Surrogate

    As a first time surrogate with Choice, I couldn't recommend them more. Trish and Chloe were absolutely incredible during the entire journey, and I could not imagine going through this process with any other agency. Trish matched me with the most perfect intended parents, and throughout the pregnancy, Chloe checked in with me often making sure that I felt supported in every step. Trish and Chloe…

    Response from Choice Surrogacy · Oct 2026

    What a wonderful compliment 💜 Finding the right connection between a surrogate and intended parents is something I take very personally, and seeing that relationship blossom into something so meaningful is one of the greatest rewards of this work. Chloe and I are especially touched that you've…

  • Carter KorteMay 2026Intended Parent

    My husband and I highly recommend Choice Surrogacy. After many years of struggling with infertility, we finally decided to explore surrogacy. The process felt overwhelming at first, especially when it came to finding the right agency. We spoke with several agencies, but many of them felt impersonal and transactional. From our very first conversation with Choice, we knew this experience would be…

    Response from Choice Surrogacy · Oct 2026

    First of all thank you for referring TWO other families to us Carter. Both of them have been matched within a few days of our consult and we are happy to help! Reading this brings back so many wonderful memories of your journey! 💜 After everything you endured on your path to parenthood, seeing you…

  • Keith GomezApr 2026Surrogate

    I had such a great experience with Choice Surrogacy. From the very beginning, Trish and Chloe made me feel comfortable and supported. You can truly tell this is an agency run with a lot of care, love, and genuine intention to help both surrogates and intended parents. They gave me the opportunity of a lifetime to become a surrogate, and I’m so grateful for that. Not only that, but they matched…

    Response from Choice Surrogacy · Oct 2026

    You are so sweet! 💕 What makes your story especially wonderful is the relationship you developed with your intended mother. That connection is exactly what we hope for when bringing two people together for such an important experience. You embraced the opportunity to help another woman become a…

  • Kim PhanKim PhanDec 2025Surrogate

    I do NOT recommend Choice Surrogacy to any intended parents considering using them. My experience as a hopeful surrogate (gestational carrier) started off like all the other positive reviewers. Trish is a skilled saleswoman, bragging about how her agency is simply the best so I did not even consider any others. I expediently completed their questionnaires, interview, psych evaluation, health…

    Response from Choice Surrogacy · Oct 2026

    I'm saddened that your experience with us caused you frustration and disappointment. That is never the intended outcome. Surrogacy is deeply personal, and when medical decisions change unexpectedly, it can feel incredibly unfair. Because IVF clinics only determine medical eligibility, we at…

  • K WK WApr 2025Surrogate

    I’m a first-time gestational surrogate, and I submitted my application to Choice Surrogacy about a month ago. I just matched with the MOST incredible intended parents, and I honestly couldn’t be more excited! From the very beginning, Trish and Chloe have been absolutely amazing—so warm, supportive, and incredibly responsive. I can text them anytime and always get a quick, helpful response, which…

    Response from Choice Surrogacy · Oct 2026

    Your match was pure kismet! And your intended parents are over the moon about you being the special one to help them create their dreams of family. I knew I wanted to work with you the first 15 min of meeting you! Chloe and I are so excited to guide your through one of the most special times in…

  • Mani ElizabethMar 2025

    At first glance, from the website, it seems like this is an ethical agency. However, during my call with them, the owner Trish hard-sold me her program. She picked up on words that I was using and repeated them back to me to convince me that the program was the best choice. She asked about other agencies I was checking out and gave me tons of reasons why they weren't good choices. Then, she…

    Response from Choice Surrogacy · Oct 2026

    Hello Mani Elizabeth, I’m truly sorry to hear that you left our consultation feeling disheartened. It’s never my intention for anyone to feel pressured or uncomfortable, and I apologize that my approach came across that way. We have so many folks to help and much education and information to…

  • Andreana HessonDec 2024Surrogate

    From the very beginning to the end, my experience with Choice Surrogacy was nothing short of extraordinary. I cannot fully express how supported I felt throughout this magical journey—it’s truly something you can only understand once you’ve gone through it yourself. Trish, Chloe, and my incredible Intended Parents (IPs) were by my side every step of the way. I was so fortunate to be matched with…
