How long does it take to find a surrogate?

The time spent waiting to be matched with a surrogate can be both and exciting and anxiety inducing.  We understand.  Once you have made the choice to use a surrogate the normal desire is to proceed at full speed.  However, for a successful journey it is crucial that you are matched with a surrogate who shares both your values and preferences.  The following preferences impact how long it will take to find the best surrogate for you.

Factors that increase the matching delay:

  • Matching on specific marital status
  • Geographic constraints
  • Specific insurance requirements
  • Specific BMI range
  • Employment status
  • Reduction preferences
  • Education level

We believe that matching you with the right surrogate rather than the "first available" is better for both the surrogate and the intended parents.  Both parties will be working together for an extended period of time and setting up the relationship on a solid foundation is paramount.  The perfect match may require a few iterations, but it will be worth the wait.

Your dream match will be worth the wait!
