How To Choose Your Agency
Illinois the new California?
It's sure getting crowded here in Illinois. Since Parenting Partners opened its doors in 2000, eight or nine agencies for surrogacy and/or egg donation have sprung up around the state. Some are run by parents, others by surrogates. Some are run by egg donors or others interested in third party reproduction. Because of Illinois' friendly surrogacy laws, our state has become a magnet for new services. With all the choices, how do you pick an agency?
Sometimes, price alone, will not be the best deal. Some agencies devote little time to clients, others a great amount. Some can't respond for a week, others will call you back the same day. Some may offer a match the same day. But will that person be the best match for you? A bigger staff may not mean better service. Can the agency offer references of clients who were happy with the service? Most agencies will have some degree of success. The ones, however, which are consistently dependable, will be your best bet to sign up with. If escrow service is offered, be sure your agency has a system set up to manage your funds properly. You don't want to lose your investment.
