Choosing a surrogacy agency should be easy, and how the Guidance Agency is here to provide a smooth process

When looking for a surrogacy agency, it is vital to ensure you are in capable hands — this is true regardless of whether you are an intended parent or a prospective surrogate/egg donor. Though telling a good agency from a bad one could seem daunting, considering a few key factors can help you make the most informed choice.

The process of finding a surrogacy agency involves multiple steps, one of the most important of which is research.

You must do your homework on different agencies to have an idea of the unique services offered by each one. This research can also help you determine which agency can provide the most of what you are looking for.

The problem is — how do you know what to look for? Guidance is here to help. Here are five factors that you should consider when choosing a surrogacy agency:

Experience

The history of a potential surrogacy agency is one of the most critical factors.

New surrogate parenting agencies have sprung up in every part of the world as an increasing number of intended parents are looking to start their families through gestational surrogacy.

Finding an agency whose employees have personal connections to surrogacy and/or egg donation can provide you with a sense of comfort since they can identify with every step and help guide you through the entire process.

Legal expertise

Surrogacy is regulated at the state level in our country. So the criteria that a given set of intended parents must meet could vary greatly depending on their state. To ensure a perfect match between intended parents and a surrogate and/or egg donor, one must be well-versed in the intersecting laws and policies.

Therefore, you should ensure that your agency has a legal team on board that will help you through the many legal aspects of the surrogacy process.

Communication

It is common for surrogacy agencies with larger staff to provide more individualized attention to each set of intended parents, surrogates, and/or egg donors. No matter the agency’s size, though, continuous communication is an integral part of a smooth surrogacy experience.

So be sure that the agency you choose emphasizes communication between you and your surrogate and/or egg donor.

Flexibility

Because there are so many variables at play during the surrogacy process, no two surrogacy journeys are ever exactly the same. Ensure that your agency is flexible enough to address your individual needs — whether you are an intended parent from the U.S. or abroad or homosexual or heterosexual.

Working with an agency with prior experience working with different types of clients is essential for any unanticipated challenges that may arise along your journey.
