Meet Our Team of Surrogacy Experts

People are at the heart of every successful surrogacy journey. Trust is essential; indeed, experts note that “trust remains the cornerstone of successful surrogacy,” built through transparency and robust support. In our clinic, a dedicated team of medical professionals, coordinators, legal advisers, counselors and support staff works together to guide intended parents and surrogates through each step. Each team member’s expertise and compassion help families feel confident and supported during what can be a complex process.

Why the Team Behind Our Surrogacy Clinic Matters

Every surrogacy process involves many moving parts – not just medical procedures but also legal paperwork and emotional support. The people behind the clinic provide continuity, knowledge, and reassurance. For intended parents and surrogates, having a knowledgeable doctor explains the plan, a coordinator answers questions, and a counselor listens to concerns can make all the difference. Open communication and empathy from the staff build confidence; for example, one surrogate recalled never feeling alone because “the team checked in” regularly and “never left me hanging” during a difficult time. In short, the right team turns an uncertain journey into a collaborative, transparent process.

Our Team Structure

Our clinic’s team spans several specialized groups, each focused on key aspects of care and support:

  • Medical Staff: This includes fertility specialists and nurses who manage medical treatment, and embryologists in the IVF lab. For example, board-certified reproductive endocrinologists are fertility doctors trained to diagnose and treat infertility. They design personalized care plans and perform procedures like IVF or IUI under strict standards.

  • IVF Laboratory: A high-tech lab staff (embryologists and technicians) handles eggs, sperm, and embryos. Embryologists are highly trained scientists responsible for fertilizing the eggs, monitoring embryo development, and preparing embryos for transfer or freezing. Their precision is vital to the chances of a healthy pregnancy.

  • Surrogacy Coordinators (Case Managers): Coordinators are your day-to-day guides. They advise and educate intended parents and surrogates on what to expect at each stage. They schedule appointments, explain protocols, and keep everything on track. In effect, coordinators act as a bridge between the surrogate and parents, managing communications and logistics.

  • Legal Advisors/Contract Specialists: These attorneys or legal consultants draft and finalize the legal agreements that protect everyone’s rights. A specialized surrogacy lawyer ensures the contract covers compensation, medical care, and parental rights. They also handle court or registry orders so that the intended parents’ names will legally appear on the child’s birth certificate. In short, they navigate the local legal requirements so the arrangement is fully compliant.

  • Psychological Counselors: Mental health professionals support everyone’s emotional well-being. They offer counseling to help surrogates and intended parents cope with anxiety, expectations, or grief. Proper psychological support – such as licensed therapists and support groups – is essential for processing feelings and managing stress throughout the journey. Our counselors provide a safe space for honest communication and help both sides stay emotionally healthy.

  • Donor/Surrogate Matching Specialists: These experts facilitate matching suitable donors or surrogates with intended parents. They carefully review medical histories, preferences, and screening results to find compatible matches. By aligning key factors like health criteria, values and expectations, match specialists help build trust between parties. For intended parents using an egg or sperm donor, dedicated coordinators will guide the donor selection process and answer any questions.

  • International Patient Liaisons: For families coming from abroad, our clinic provides coordinators fluent in multiple languages. International liaisons help with translations of documents and explanations of local regulations. They assist with travel logistics and work with overseas attorneys or doctors to ensure nothing is overlooked. This specialized support lets international clients feel fully informed, regardless of language or location.

Key Team Members in Detail

Fertility Doctors / Reproductive Endocrinologists

Our fertility doctors (reproductive endocrinologists) are specialized physicians who lead the medical team. They assess the surrogate’s health, the intended mother’s eggs or donor eggs, and the intended parents’ medical needs. These doctors prescribe and monitor fertility medications, perform egg retrievals, and oversee embryo transfers. Their training in hormonal disorders and infertility means they can troubleshoot unexpected issues, adjust treatment plans, and ensure each patient receives personalized, high-quality care. In short, they manage the clinical protocols and guide the medical side of every surrogacy cycle.

IVF Laboratory and Embryologists

Behind the scenes, our IVF laboratory team handles the most delicate tasks of in vitro fertilization. Embryologists are the experts who handle gametes and embryos. When eggs are retrieved from a donor or surrogate, embryologists assess each egg’s quality. They prepare sperm samples and combine eggs and sperm under a microscope (IVF fertilization) or inject a single sperm into an egg (ICSI) if needed. After fertilization, they monitor embryo growth in incubators, grading embryos by health and development. When the best embryos are ready, the lab prepares them for transfer or cryopreservation. Every day, these scientists use precise technique and advanced equipment to maximize the chances of creating healthy embryos.

Surrogacy Coordinators / Case Managers

Surrogacy coordinators – sometimes called case managers – are the central point of contact for intended parents and surrogates throughout the process. From the initial screening onward, a coordinator advises each party and guides them through step by step. They explain medical protocols, ensure that paperwork and tests are completed on schedule, and answer questions as they arise. In practice, a coordinator might remind a surrogate of an upcoming appointment, update parents after a prenatal check, or mediate communications between the clinic, lawyers, and family members. Their role is to educate and support: as one source puts it, coordinators “provide the bridge between surrogates and intended parents,” helping everyone know what to expect at every turn. They double-check that all details are in order and step in if unexpected issues arise, aiming to keep the process smooth and stress-free.

Legal Advisors and Contract Specialists

Legal advisors on our team are experts in surrogacy law and contract negotiation. Each party typically has their own attorney to represent their interests; our legal advisors work closely with both surrogates and intended parents to ensure everyone is fully protected. Their duties include drafting and reviewing the surrogacy agreement – a contract that specifies compensation, medical responsibilities, contingencies, and parental rights. Attorneys also coordinate any needed court or government orders so that after the birth, the intended parents will legally be recognized as the child’s parents. In essence, the legal team handles all the formal paperwork and compliance. By navigating the applicable legal framework and ensuring clear, fair contracts, they establish the foundation for a trustworthy, enforceable agreement.

Psychological Support Staff / Counselors

We provide dedicated counselors who specialize in third-party reproduction and surrogacy. These licensed psychologists or therapists conduct thorough mental-health evaluations during screening, and then continue to offer support throughout the journey. They meet with surrogates to confirm emotional readiness and discuss any concerns about pregnancy, and they also work with intended parents to address hopes and anxieties. Counseling can be individual or in groups (for surrogates or parents), allowing people to share experiences and coping strategies. Research and experience show that “structured emotional support, including counseling for surrogates and intended parents, is essential” to a positive outcome. Our counselors ensure that if either side feels overwhelmed at any point – whether due to hormonal changes, medical complications, or stress – there is a compassionate professional to help them manage those feelings and maintain mental well-being.

Donor and Surrogate Match Specialists

Our matchmaking specialists are key to forming strong partnerships. When intended parents need an egg, sperm or embryo donor, these coordinators review profiles and medical histories to find suitable candidates. Likewise, when matching a surrogate, coordinators use detailed criteria (health history, lifestyle, personality) to identify a woman whose profile matches the parents’ preferences and values. Matches are approached carefully: the goal is a mutually respectful, compatible relationship. As one clinic notes, building trust often starts with compatibility – “matching surrogates and intended parents based on compatibility, shared values, and mutual expectations” sets a positive tone from the beginning. Throughout matching, specialists communicate transparently, arrange initial introductions or interviews, and answer questions on both sides. Their work helps both parties feel confident in the match, knowing medical and personal factors have been thoroughly considered.

International Patient Liaisons (as applicable)

For intended parents from other countries, our team includes international coordinators to assist with cross-border needs. These liaisons are fluent in multiple languages or arrange high-quality interpreters, ensuring that non-English-speaking clients fully understand each step. They explain local medical protocols and legal requirements, help translate and certify documents, and coordinate extra logistics like travel plans or lodging. For example, an international liaison may accompany a parent to hospital appointments or reviews of legal documents, explaining cultural and procedural details. By tailoring support for overseas families, these coordinators eliminate confusion and make the process feel familiar even far from home.

How Our Team Works Together

A surrogacy journey is a team effort. Our specialists collaborate closely to create a seamless experience. For example, the lead doctor will consult with the embryology lab to confirm embryo timing, then update the coordinator, who in turn updates the parents and surrogate. We hold regular case-review meetings where doctors, nurses, and coordinators discuss each patient’s progress. Shared tools like patient portals or calendars keep everyone informed about appointments and milestones. Communication is kept open: coordinators schedule check-ins with both parents and surrogate, and they use feedback channels if any issues arise. As one guide to best practices puts it, successful coordination relies on scheduling regular check-ins, using coordinators to facilitate communication, and maintaining shared documentation. In other words, no one works in isolation – our doctors, lab team, counselors and coordinators continually exchange information so that all steps (medical, legal, emotional) are aligned. This teamwork helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures that when the surrogate and intended parents interact, they experience one cohesive, well-managed process.

Trust, Ethics, and Transparency

Trust is the foundation of our relationships. We follow strict ethical standards in every activity. For example, we thoroughly screen surrogates and donors to ensure they meet health and psychological criteria, respecting their autonomy and providing independent advice. Clear, honest communication is a priority: clients receive detailed information about all costs, timelines and any potential risks upfront. Every contract and consent form is explained fully before signing. By being transparent about expectations (medical procedures, legal steps, financials), misunderstandings are avoided. As highlighted in industry best-practice guidelines, “clear communication about all aspects… ensures that everyone knows what to expect,” and adhering to ethical matching and screening “fosters a trustful relationship.”. We also maintain confidentiality at all times – personal health information is protected and only shared with professionals involved in the care. In sum, we build trust by acting with integrity, respecting everyone’s rights, and keeping the lines of communication open.

Testimonials and Feedback

Many intended parents and surrogates have told us that our team’s support made a huge difference. (We share these stories to help new clients feel assured.) Reading reviews from past families offers insight into our clinic’s strengths and reliability. For example, one surrogate wrote, “I knew I had people behind me… the team checked in… They never left me hanging… That meant everything.”. This kind of feedback highlights how responsive and caring our staff are, even during unexpected challenges. We encourage prospective clients to seek out testimonials from both intended parents and surrogates to get a balanced perspective on our performance. In general, comments often note our team’s dedication, clear communication, and compassionate support – all of which give new families confidence to move forward.

Why Choose Our Clinic for Your Surrogacy Journey?

Surrogacy is a life-changing journey, one that requires trust, transparency, and the highest standards of care. For intended parents, the choice of a clinic can be as significant as the decision to pursue surrogacy itself. The clinic is not only where embryos are created and transferred but also where intended parents, surrogates, and medical teams come together in a shared mission: bringing new life into the world.

With so many options available globally, why should you choose our clinic for your surrogacy journey? The answer lies in our unique combination of medical excellence, ethical standards, personalized support, and international accessibility. In this article, we will walk you through the many reasons families around the world trust us to guide them toward parenthood.

Medical Excellence at the Core

At the heart of every surrogacy program is advanced reproductive medicine. Our clinic prides itself on bringing together world-class fertility doctors, experienced embryologists, and highly trained nursing staff who work collaboratively to deliver the best possible outcomes.

  • State-of-the-art facilities: Our IVF laboratories are equipped with the latest technology for embryo culture, genetic testing, and cryopreservation. This ensures that embryos are handled under optimal conditions, maximizing success rates.

  • Expert fertility specialists: Our doctors are reproductive endocrinologists with years of training and experience in IVF, surrogacy, and third-party reproduction. They continually update their practice with the latest scientific advances.

  • High success rates: While success rates vary depending on age, embryo quality, and other factors, our clinic consistently achieves pregnancy and live birth rates above international averages. We share these statistics openly with our patients.

  • Tailored treatment plans: We recognize that no two families are alike. Our doctors design personalized protocols, ensuring each intended parent and surrogate receives the most appropriate care for their unique circumstances.

Medical excellence is not just about science – it’s about precision, safety, and compassion in every procedure.

Comprehensive Screening and Matching

A strong surrogacy program depends on the careful selection of surrogates and, when needed, donors. Our clinic applies rigorous standards to protect the health and well-being of everyone involved.

  • Medical screening: Potential surrogates undergo thorough physical examinations, reproductive health assessments, and infectious disease testing to ensure they can safely carry a pregnancy.

  • Psychological evaluation: We conduct professional mental health assessments to confirm that candidates are emotionally ready for surrogacy and have strong family support systems.

  • Background checks: Safety and trust are paramount. We carry out background and lifestyle checks for surrogates to provide intended parents with confidence.

  • Donor selection (if needed): For families requiring egg or sperm donors, our clinic maintains carefully vetted donor databases, with full profiles including medical histories and, where allowed, personal details.

  • Matching process: We strive for compatibility between intended parents and surrogates. Shared values, communication preferences, and mutual respect are key factors in our matching approach.

By ensuring only qualified, motivated surrogates and donors are approved, we lay the foundation for a safe and successful journey.

Legal Expertise and Protection

Surrogacy involves complex legal considerations that vary widely across jurisdictions. Without proper legal safeguards, intended parents risk delays or complications in establishing parental rights.

Our clinic collaborates with specialized legal advisors who are experts in reproductive law:

  • Comprehensive contracts: Every surrogacy arrangement is backed by detailed agreements covering compensation, responsibilities, medical decisions, and contingencies.

  • Independent legal counsel: We ensure both surrogates and intended parents have access to their own lawyers, protecting the interests of each party equally.

  • Parentage orders: In countries where pre-birth or post-birth court orders are required, our legal partners manage the entire process, ensuring intended parents are recognized as the child’s legal guardians.

  • International guidance: For cross-border cases, we assist with securing travel documents, passports, and citizenship recognition for newborns.

With us, you never have to worry about navigating the legal landscape alone. Our team ensures that every step is legally compliant and that your parental rights are secured.

Emotional and Psychological Support

Surrogacy is not just a medical journey—it is an emotional one. Both surrogates and intended parents experience highs and lows, from the anticipation of embryo transfer to the anxiety of waiting for pregnancy results.

Our clinic provides structured emotional support services to ensure mental well-being:

  • Pre-screening counseling: Helping surrogates and intended parents prepare emotionally for the process.

  • Ongoing psychological support: Regular check-ins with mental health professionals throughout the pregnancy.

  • Support groups: Opportunities to connect with others who are on the same journey, sharing experiences and encouragement.

  • Crisis support: Immediate counseling is available in case of miscarriage, complications, or unexpected challenges.

We believe that emotional resilience is just as important as medical readiness. By caring for mental health, we create a more positive and stable experience for everyone.

Transparency and Ethics

Trust is built on transparency. Intended parents want clarity about the process, costs, and risks, while surrogates deserve honesty and respect. Our clinic operates on principles of openness and integrity.

  • Clear cost breakdowns: We provide detailed financial overviews before any contracts are signed. No hidden fees, no surprises.

  • Multilingual staff: We offer translation and interpretation services to ensure clear communication.

  • International liaisons: Specialized coordinators guide overseas clients through local regulations and logistics.

  • Travel assistance: From visas to accommodations, we support intended parents traveling to our clinic.

  • Global legal coordination: We work with international law firms to ensure the child’s citizenship and travel documents are processed smoothly.

By providing international services, we remove barriers and make surrogacy accessible to families worldwide.

  • One point of contact: A dedicated coordinator manages your entire case, ensuring you always know who to turn to with questions.

Surrogacy by the Numbers: Key Statistics

Surrogacy is often described through personal stories—joyful births, compassionate surrogates, and families finally completed. Yet behind every story there is also data. Statistics help intended parents understand how common surrogacy is, how success rates compare across countries, and what trends are shaping the global landscape. By looking at the numbers, we can place individual journeys in a broader context, making informed decisions based on evidence, not just emotion.

This article explores key statistics on surrogacy worldwide, including usage rates, success rates, costs, demographics, and emerging trends.

How Common Is Surrogacy Worldwide?

  • In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that over 3,000 babies are born each year through gestational surrogacy. That represents a steady increase since the early 2000s, when only a few hundred surrogacy births were recorded annually.

  • In the United Kingdom, official data from the Parental Order Register show around 400–500 applications for parental orders each year (the legal step after surrogacy).

  • Ukraine and Georgia have become international hubs, with hundreds of foreign intended parents enrolling annually before 2022. Ukraine alone accounted for thousands of international surrogacy births per year before temporary disruptions due to the war.

  • Globally, industry estimates suggest over 20,000 surrogacy births annually, though accurate tracking is difficult due to differing laws and reporting standards.

What Are Surrogacy Success Rates?

Success depends on IVF and embryo transfer outcomes:

  • Average IVF live birth rates per embryo transfer are around 40–50% for women under 35, decreasing with age.

  • With donor eggs, success rates are often higher: 50–60% per transfer.

  • Many programs include multiple transfer attempts to improve chances.

  • U.S. and Canadian clinics report consistently high IVF success rates; Eastern European clinics (Ukraine, Georgia) also report competitive outcomes, though official statistics are less standardized.

Overall, the majority of intended parents achieve a successful pregnancy within 1–2 embryo transfer attempts when using a qualified clinic.

What Are the Demographics of Surrogates and Intended Parents?

  • Surrogates are typically women between 21 and 40 years old who have already experienced at least one healthy pregnancy. In the U.S., most surrogates are in their late 20s to mid-30s, married or partnered, and raising their own children.

  • Intended parents come from diverse backgrounds: heterosexual couples facing infertility, same-sex couples, and single individuals. International surrogacy hubs (Ukraine, Georgia, Mexico) report that many intended parents come from Europe, North America, and increasingly Asia.

How Much Does Surrogacy Cost on Average?

  • United States: $140,000–$200,000

  • Canada: $75,000–$90,000

  • United Kingdom: £50,000+ (about $65,000)

  • Ukraine / Georgia: $50,000–$65,000

  • Mexico: $50,000–$80,000

Surrogate compensation is the largest factor in cost differences: in the U.S., base pay can reach $65,000–$75,000, while in Ukraine or Georgia it is closer to $18,000–$20,000.

What Are the Trends in Surrogacy Growth?

  • Rising demand: Increasing infertility rates, delayed parenthood, and more LGBTQ+ family formations drive growth worldwide.

  • Shifting destinations: As some countries restrict commercial surrogacy (India, Thailand, Cambodia), intended parents are turning to regulated destinations such as the U.S., Canada, Ukraine, Georgia, and Mexico.

  • Legal reforms: Countries like New York (USA) and Greece have recently updated laws to clarify parental rights and regulate surrogacy more transparently.

  • Cross-border complexity: International surrogacy often involves lengthy legal and citizenship processes, prompting calls for global regulation.

Numbers with Real Impact

Surrogacy is not only about statistics, but numbers reveal the scale and dynamics of this growing field. Thousands of children are born each year through surrogacy, with rising success rates thanks to advances in IVF. Costs differ dramatically depending on geography, and demand continues to expand. For intended parents, these numbers provide reassurance: surrogacy is not a rare or experimental option—it is a well-established, internationally practiced path to parenthood.
