    • We carefully match surrogates and intended parents based on shared values, goals, and lifestyle, ensuring compatibility for a smooth and fulfilling journey.

    • Once a potential match is found, we arrange a 30-minute video call. This allows both parties to ask questions, share expectations, and get to know each other.

  • Building the Relationship

    • After the call, if both sides feel comfortable, they begin developing a trusting relationship, staying connected throughout the entire journey.
