Score Breakdown

We ranked 5 surrogacy agencies. Criteria: how surrogates are screened (medical, psychological, background, insurance); fee and escrow transparency, including what happens if a journey ends early; legal infrastructure across states and independent counsel for both parties; support when transfers fail or relationships get hard; and whether the agency treats surrogates as partners rather than inventory. Match-time marketing is discounted unless the agency will state current wait times. We did not invent a larger agency set.
