Why Choose Parenting Partners?


One of the decisions you will make is whether to work with a relative, friend, find a match on the internet or use a surrogacy service. With a number of options available, why choose Parenting Partners?

This program does not reveal your name, address, phone or sensitive information about you to anyone not involved in your arrangement. We don’t send your application or profile information to other agencies or “consultants” who make a match for the agency. We’re typically with clients a year and a half to two years. If you're a client, we will work closely with you to maximize your chances for success

1. Personalized Attention: This program is smaller. This means we know who you are when you call and can provide the individual attention you will need.

2. Quality of Matches: You won’t be matched with just anyone who calls or who sends in a photo and application. Some services pressure prospective clients to pick a surrogate at their first initial meeting with the agency, arranging for one or more surrogates to show up at your meeting (well before you’re ready to make that commitment). Or spread out photos and biographies for you to see and see if you’ll pick one. These “free” services can cost you time and money later if you wind up unhappy with your “photo-match.” At Parenting Partners, we do our own recruiting and we make thoughtful matches!

At Parenting Partners, a lot of time will be spent to get to know you and your needs and goals. You’ll be matched according to compatible needs and requirements. Personality, temperament and willingness to take some direction is as important as a surrogate’s fertility. Surrogates in our program are pre-interviewed, provide pregnancy records, insurance policies and a letter of good health from their doctor before you even meet them. Their husbands (if they’re married) are interviewed also. Additionally, a background check (for driving violations, civil actions and/or any record of criminal charges) is done ahead of time. Once matched (through us) your surrogate will go through medical & psychological evaluations specifically with you in mind (not just anyone) and also be referred for legal counsel. All of these steps are designed to best serve both the client parents and the surrogate they wish to work with.

3. Professional Referrals: You will be referred to professionals, as needed, who can help with medical, psychological, financial and legal aspects. Those professionals will become part of our “team,” with all of us working together to help you achieve your goals. We can also refer you for financial planning (free of charge) and help in determining your insurance coverage. A review of your surrogate’s insurance (if needed) is also available at nominal cost. You may not need to purchase $25,000 of backup coverage for her.

4. Escrow Service: Escrow service is built right into the fee. You won’t have to worry about bills not being paid and neither will your surrogate. We don’t commingle client funds or mingle them with agency funds. All clients have individual escrow accounts at a bank and receive separate bank statements and interest on their account.

5. Free Rematches: If you need to be re-matched after at least three unsuccessful cycles with your surrogate, there is no rematch fee. How many other agencies will offer you this extra service?

6. Proven Track Record: Out of 48 arrangements, 44 babies have been born with seven on the way! Almost every one of our agency clients has come home with their baby. Dedication to helping clients succeed is what sets Parenting Partners apart.
