In every era of your life, your mental health is a priority. During a surrogacy journey, it is especially important to have a support system. There is an emotional, physical, and mental dedication required from both surrogates and intended parents. At Los Angeles Surrogacy, we ensure that every party involved has the surrogacy support system they need.
A Surrogacy Support System in your Surrogacy Agency
Support can come in many forms. It might look like talking to a friend about your stressful week, receiving diet advice to holistically help your health, or having a teammate fight for your comfort. At Los Angeles Surrogacy, you’ll get all of these in one agency (and more).
Here’s what a surrogacy support system looks like at Los Angeles Surrogacy:
-
Experienced Staff
The best support comes from people who know what they’re doing. With over 15 years in the industry, Los Angeles Surrogacy team members know what to do and how to do it. We will negotiate for you, provide any advice you need, and hold your hand from initial inquiries to the delivery of the baby.
Our agency first opened with the mission to help facilitate international intended parents in growing their families. In addition to being well-versed in domestic surrogacy laws, we have worked with intended parents from all across the globe. Our worldwide experience makes us unique and qualifies us as one of the leading surrogacy agencies in California.
Los Angeles Surrogacy team members are driven by passion and are held to a strong ethical standard.

The Best Teams In The Business
We will pair you with the best medical and legal teams in the business. You will never have to wonder if your doctors or lawyers have your best interest at heart, as you may have in the past. Your representatives are working tirelessly for you. We will make sure of it.
The fertility clinics we team up with offer the most advanced IVF technology and procedures that exist. This gives each surrogate the highest possible chance of becoming pregnant. It also streamlines the preparatory process, including hormone injections.
The legal teams we pair up with are experts in California surrogacy laws. They will negotiate on your behalf and draw up the proper paperwork to keep you safe under California law. We require both the surrogate and intended parent(s) to be represented by two separate lawyers, so each party is individually covered with their own lawyer fighting for them. Should any issues arise, you are safe and protected.
-
Your Case Manager
You will be assigned a case manager who will be your guide and your best friend throughout your surrogacy journey. This person will be the recipient of your communication to the agency, and will always be a phone call away. She will be there throughout your initial interviews, at your legal meetings, whenever you have questions, and at the hospital on delivery day.
We believe it’s crucial to have one point of contact as your main surrogacy support system representative. This ensures that your care is personalized, and your messages or phone calls are answered quickly. Many of our case managers become lifelong friends with the surrogates and intended parents they work with. There is no greater joy for someone in this profession than to watch miracle babies be born and families grow!
-
Customized Financial Packages
We understand that, as intended parents, money can be an obstacle that stops you from beginning your journey with surrogacy. Los Angeles Surrogacy is happy to offer financial support to those who need it. We have financing options, package deals that are customized to your needs, and financial education so you have all of the information you need to make the best decision for you.
For international intended parents, we can assist with travel plans, accommodations, and recommendations. We can even help you schedule your stay and your appointments. We are here to be your surrogacy support system and to ensure that your journey goes as planned.
-
Thorough Matching
At Los Angeles Surrogacy, our team pairs up the perfect surrogacy partnerships. The surrogate screening process is thorough, and not only gathers personal information about the surrogate but also gathers details about their personalities, communication style, and preferences.
When intended parents enter through our doors for their initial interviews, we obtain similar details from them. These factors allow us to find similarities between surrogates and intended parents, and oftentimes the partnerships result in lifelong friendships lasting throughout the pregnancy and long after the baby is born.
-
Emotional Support
Emotional wellness therapies are offered for those who want them during their surrogacy journey. This topic is discussed during both surrogate and intended parent interviews, so both parties can plan ahead and enjoy this part of the surrogacy support system.
-
Inclusivity
Though this should go without saying, your surrogacy support system will never discriminate against sexual orientation, gender identity, race, religion, or any self-identification labels. We encourage individuals, couples, and families of all types to pursue surrogacy.
-
Support After Birth
After the delivery of the baby, both intended parents and surrogates may need additional support. Your surrogacy support system at Los Angeles Surrogacy will still be by your side when you need us.
For intended parents, we will ensure all of your legal paperwork is finalized, including the birth certificate and any travel documents necessary to get back home.
For surrogates, the emotional wellness support does not stop when the baby is born. We understand the various struggles of postpartum life, and we will be here to help you through it. We will ensure your medical check-ups are scheduled, any necessary wellness therapies are in check, and any legal counsel that is required to wrap up the surrogacy journey is obtained.
