Your health is a top priority.  During our pre-screening process, we ensure that our Surrogates are emotionally, physically, and psychologically ready to start this journey. Once invited into our program, we provide strong support for our Surrogates throughout the process from decision to beyond delivery.

The Surrogacy Experience (TSE) is a gestational surrogacy agency that was founded on personal experience. The founder of the agency, with the support of her fertility clinic, welcomed her first daughter into the world through IVF. She later went on to explore surrogacy and, along with her gestational carrier, welcomed her second daughter.  The Managing Principal has been a gestational carrier twice herself and uses that experience to help our clients.
With this foundation, our surrogacy program is a boutique approach to bringing Intended Parents and Gestational Carriers together on a surrogacy journey.  Along with the support of our network partners, we provide up-to-date information and education on such items as what is surrogacy and the surrogacy process, becoming a gestational carrier/ gestational carrier requirements, gestational carrier compensation, things to know as an intended parent, surrogacy medical process / medical procedures, how to find a surrogacy agency, surrogate laws/surrogacy laws, and navigating gay surrogacy.
Surrogacy information is out there, but finding the right gestational surrogate agency will help you decide if surrogacy is right for you. Let The Surrogacy Experience be your source of education and information.
