Choosing a surrogacy agency is one of the most important decisions in your family-building journey. Beyond costs or location, the right agency should provide transparency, expertise, and personalized support from beginning to end.

Here are seven essential questions every intended parent should ask before making a decision.

1. What experience does the agency have?

Experience matters. Ask how long the agency has been operating, how many journeys they have supported, and whether they have experience working with international intended parents.

A knowledgeable team can make the process smoother and help navigate unexpected situations with confidence.

2. How are surrogates selected?

Not every woman can become a surrogate.

A trustworthy agency should have a rigorous screening process that includes:

• Medical evaluations
• Psychological assessments
• Social evaluations
• Legal screening

These steps help protect the surrogate, the intended parents, and the future baby.

3. What medical and legal professionals are involved?

Surrogacy requires collaboration between experienced fertility specialists, legal professionals, psychologists, and coordinators.

Make sure the agency works with trusted professionals throughout the entire journey.

4. How will communication work?

The surrogacy journey can last many months.

Ask how often you’ll receive updates, who your main point of contact will be, and how the agency supports communication throughout the process.

 5. What support is provided for the surrogate?

The surrogate’s well-being is essential.

A responsible agency offers continuous medical, emotional, and logistical support throughout the pregnancy.

Supporting the surrogate means protecting everyone involved.

6. What happens if challenges arise?

Every journey is unique.

Ask how the agency handles unexpected situations, delays, or medical complications.

An experienced team should have clear protocols and be ready to guide you through every stage.

Choosing a surrogacy agency is about much more than finding a service provider—it’s about finding a trusted partner for one of life’s most meaningful journeys.

Take the time to ask questions, compare options, and choose a team that prioritizes transparency, safety, and compassionate care.
