Why Choose Capital Surrogacy?

Capital Surrogacy was born from a sincere passion for the gift of surrogacy. All members of the Capital Surrogacy team had successful surrogacy journeys that changed our lives for the better. Our goal is to provide the same priceless gift to others wishing to grow their families – using proven best practices in the field of surrogacy that we know firsthand are effective.

We comprehend the anticipation and emotional ups and downs that are intrinsic to all surrogacy journeys, the financial risk that intended parents share, the many steps in a journey that build upon one another, and most importantly, the overwhelming feeling that all the sacrifice and effort involved in the journey was absolutely worth it when your family is complete. It may be difficult to find another surrogacy agency in which the team has all personally experienced such a life-changing and impactful journey.

Cost-Conscious and Transparent

At Capital Surrogacy, we understand the large financial investment that you are making in creating a family. For this reason and so that surrogacy is available to more intended parents, we keep our fees low compared to other surrogacy agencies. Perhaps most importantly, we will not only be upfront about Capital Surrogacy expenditures, but we will also educate intended parents about third party fees in the surrogacy services market. Whenever we can ensure cost savings for the intended parents, we will make it readily available.

Personalized Case Management

The primary benefit of a small surrogacy agency such as Capital Surrogacy is that the founder will professionally manage cases from the moment of matching until 6 months post-delivery. In this way, the same experienced professional will guide, and support intended parents every step of the way. Most importantly, there will not be hand-offs to different agency staff at key points in the journey or unexpected staff turnover as in larger surrogacy agencies.

A former surrogate will lead the surrogate screening and recruitment process as well as provide guidance and support to the surrogates throughout the journey. We firmly believe that only individuals who have completed their own surrogacy journeys can truly support other surrogates through their journeys.

We at Capital Surrogacy strive to maintain a positive and stable journey for all parties. We also provide 24/7 emergency support and attend local embryo transfers, OBGYN appointments, and deliveries, if requested by our intended parents or surrogates.

Bilingual Services

Capital Surrogacy has bilingual services and will support Spanish-speaking clients in navigating all aspects of their surrogacy journeys. We will fully partner with Spanish-speaking intended parents to make the experience seamless from start to finish.

Why partner with a surrogacy agency vs having an independent journey?

The primary reason for an independent journey is often to reduce costs. We at Capital Surrogacy comprehend the financial challenges of a surrogacy journey. For this reason, our agency fees are among the lowest in the industry.

In most circumstances, the benefits of working with an agency far outweigh the financial costs. With the help of professionals in the medical, psychological and insurance fields, we prescreen our surrogates before the match. In this way, intended parents save themselves the financial and emotional toll that often comes with locating potential surrogates on their own, typically online or through third party channels. In other words, our prescreening reduces the possibility of investing resources in a prospective surrogate that is not qualified.

Surrogacy journeys, even in the best of circumstances, are often emotional, with some ups and downs. A surrogacy agency case manager will guide and streamline the journey to minimize any obstacles or uncertainties. We can also refer intended parents and surrogates to experienced third party professionals that prevent as well as resolve any issues in the journey. Furthermore, we screen our surrogates as carefully as we screen our intended parents to ensure safety and security for everyone.

We will match intended parents and surrogates based on these key factors. Also, we will facilitate the match meeting with all parties present to establish how well all parties interact. The intended parents and surrogates have 48 hours from the match meeting to decide if it is a positive match. After the match, an experienced psychologist will perform a joint assessment that also measures compatibility as part of the formal screening process.
