Creating Families, Nurturing Dreams
A Boutique Agency Built on Trust
A mother-daughter team with over 20 years of experience guiding intended parents and surrogates through one of the most personal journeys of a lifetime.
Why Choose Us
The Newborn Advantage
We built this agency around one belief: surrogacy should feel supported, not overwhelming.
Faster, Thoughtful Matching
Most agencies take many months to match you. Our active surrogate pool means many intended parents are matched in weeks, without rushing fit or compatibility.
Carefully Screened Surrogates
Every surrogate goes through a thorough preliminary review: medical history, background, and overall fit assessed by our internal nursing team. Final medical clearance is always completed at your fertility clinic before your journey begins, ensuring the highest standard of care.
We Handle the Details, You Focus on What Matters
From coordinating medical appointments and insurance to managing bills and escrow submissions, we handle the operational complexity so both sides can focus on what actually matters: trust, gratitude, and the journey ahead.
A Network Built Over 20 Years
We’ve spent two decades building relationships with fertility clinics, attorneys, and escrow professionals we trust. So when you need a referral, it comes from experience, not a directory.
Intended Parents, You Can Meet Your Match Sooner Than You Think
Unlike agencies with long waitlists, Newborn Advantage Surrogacy maintains a ready pool of pre-qualified candidates, so you can start reviewing profiles and choosing your match right away without months of waiting. Once you’re matched, we stay with you. We coordinate medical clearance, manage bills, assist with insurance coordination, and keep the process moving, so you can focus on growing your family while we manage the paperwork.
Surrogates

About Us
Newborn Advantage Surrogacy is an agency founded over 20 years ago with a simple conviction: that families pursuing surrogacy deserved a team that truly stayed with them. Not a case manager, not a front desk, but real people who knew their names and their story.
What started as a mother-daughter vision, Mindy founding the agency over 20 years ago, and Courtney following in her footsteps, has grown into one of the most trusted boutique agencies in the industry. We’ve always been small by design. That’s the point.
Surrogacy is one of the most emotional and complex journeys a family can take. For over two decades, we’ve helped families and surrogates navigate it with confidence, care, and support, always grounded in trust, gratitude, and the joy of what’s ahead.
