Intended Parents

Your Path to Parenthood:
Surrogacy Services,
Guided With Care

For over 20 years, Newborn Advantage Surrogacy has guided intended parents through every step of the journey, with shorter wait times, personal matching, and one team managing the details, so you can focus on growing your family.

The Newborn Advantage

Support That Feels Personal

Newborn Advantage Surrogacy is a boutique, mother-daughter-led agency, where every family is known by name, not a file number.

From your first phone call, you’ll work with a small, dedicated team that knows your story, answers quickly, stays with you every step of the way, and treats your journey like it matters, because it does.

It’s the kind of care that only comes from providing surrogacy services in a hands-on way for over two decades.

We Handle The Details,
So You Don’t Have To.

Surrogacy has a lot of moving parts. Our role is to keep those details organized, coordinated, and off your plate, while making sure both you and your surrogate feel supported throughout the journey.

Matching Guidance

Not every state or candidate is the right fit for every situation. Based on your specific circumstances, including where you live, your marital status, and how your family is being built, we’ll only share surrogate profiles that align with your legal, personal, and family-building needs.

Medical Coordination

We’ll work directly with your fertility clinic to schedule your surrogate for medical clearance, required appointments, and, later, for embryo transfer, ensuring every appointment is on time.

Travel

We’ll book and coordinate all travel your surrogate needs for medical clearance and embryo transfer, so logistics are never something you have to manage.

Escrow, Bills & Reimbursements

We’ll recommend a trusted escrow agent experienced in surrogacy, then keep an eye on everything moving through your account: reviewing, submitting, and confirming that medical bills and reimbursements are paid accurately and on time. It’s one more way we take the stress off both you and your surrogate.

Insurance Guidance

We’ll refer you to insurance specialists experienced in surrogacy, help review your surrogate’s existing coverage, and guide you toward a surrogate-friendly policy if needed, including newborn insurance, when applicable. We’ll even manage the application process on your behalf.

Dedicated Support

Surrogacy involves a lot of moving parts, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s why you’ll have direct access to our team from start to finish, including a direct line to our personal cell phones for when something urgent comes up, to answer questions, stay ahead of what’s next, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

How the Surrogacy Process Works

Your Journey, Step by Step

01

Consultation & Planning

We’ll get to know you, your goals, and your timeline, including which states and legal paths make sense for your specific situation. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of the process, expected costs, legal considerations, and what the next steps look like

02

Matching With a Surrogate

Every candidate in our pool has completed a criminal background check and a rigorous recruitment process, with her medical history pre-reviewed by our in-house nurse ahead of official clearance. We’ll share profiles based on your preferences, including the kind of relationship you’re hoping to build with your surrogate, and because we maintain an active pool of candidates, you won’t be stuck on a long waitlist waiting for a single option. Once you’ve found the right fit, we’ll arrange a video call so you can get to know each other before moving forward.

03

Setting Up Escrow

Once you’re matched, we’ll help you set up an escrow account with a trusted agent experienced in surrogacy arrangements. An initial deposit covers early costs like your surrogate’s travel to medical clearance; once legal agreements are signed, your account is fully funded for the journey ahead.

04

Medical & Psychological Screening

Your surrogate will travel to your fertility clinic to complete the testing your doctor requires for official medical clearance, along with a psychological screening we help coordinate, ensuring she’s fully ready for a healthy, well-supported journey.

05

Legal Agreements

Independent legal counsel, specific to your surrogate’s state, ensures you and your surrogate are each fully informed and protected. No medical procedures begin until every agreement is reviewed and signed.

06

Insurance

At the same time, we’ll begin working through insurance: reviewing your surrogate’s coverage, helping secure a surrogate-friendly policy if needed, and coordinating newborn insurance if applicable.

07

Embryo Transfer

If your surrogate isn’t local to your clinic, we’ll locate a nearby monitoring center for her lining checks, then coordinate her travel to your clinic for the transfer itself. About 10 days later, she’ll go for blood work to confirm the pregnancy: the moment everything starts to feel real.

08

Pregnancy Management

Your surrogate remains under your fertility clinic’s care through heartbeat confirmation. From there, she graduates to the care of her own OBGYN, and we’ll make sure everything is set up smoothly, including keeping you informed of every appointment date. Whether you’d like to stay closely involved, attend major milestones like the 20-week ultrasound, or take a more hands-off approach, we’ll help coordinate travel and scheduling around whatever level of involvement feels right for you. Throughout, we continue managing bills and payments so nothing falls on you or her.

09

Welcoming Your Baby

Before your baby arrives, your attorney secures a Pre-Birth Order, so your legal parentage is confirmed from day one. And our work doesn’t stop at the hospital. If you’re interested in having breast milk provided, we’ll help coordinate getting everything in place. Medical bills can continue arriving for months after delivery, on a timeline that isn’t up to you or us, but for as long as it takes, we’ll stay on top of making sure they’re paid. You bring your baby home; we handle the rest.

Common Questions

Intended Parents FAQs

How much does surrogacy cost?

The total cost of surrogacy varies depending on individual circumstances, including medical needs, legal requirements, and surrogate compensation. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees. During your free consultation, we’ll walk you through the costs, answer your questions, and provide a clear estimate based on your situation.

How are surrogates screened?

Every candidate in our pool has completed a criminal background check and a rigorous recruitment process, with her medical history pre-reviewed by our in-house nurse ahead of official clearance. Once you are matched, she completes the testing your fertility clinic requires for medical clearance, along with a psychological screening we help coordinate.

How long will it take to be matched with a surrogate?

Timelines vary with your preferences and the legal path that fits your situation. Matching here is personal rather than first come, first served, which is how we keep wait times shorter, and we will give you a realistic picture of your own timeline during your free consultation.

Can I choose my surrogate?

Yes. We utilize a personalized matching process tailored to your preferences and values. You will review carefully selected surrogate profiles and have the opportunity to meet your potential match before making any decisions.

What if the surrogate doesn’t pass medical clearance?

No medical procedures begin until clearance is complete, so nothing is at risk if a candidate is not cleared. We go back to matching and share new profiles that align with your legal, personal, and family-building needs.

Is the initial consultation free?

Yes. Your first consultation is free. We’ll get to know you, your goals, and your timeline, and you’ll leave with a clear understanding of the process, expected costs, legal considerations, and what the next steps look like.
