Family Creations is an amazing agency that takes the time to really work with their egg donors and…read morehelp them through the complex donation process. I worked with Emily and she was the most amazing case manager. My egg donation process began last February and let me say it has been a rough and challenging process, but Emily was always able to make it better. She was helpful, insightful, understanding and supportive. Given the unusually rough circumstances around my donation I have to say Emily consistently went above and beyond. I especially appreciated all of her firsthand knowledge - she was able to relate with my feelings and struggles and helped me get through the last 9 months. Overall, I can't imagine going through the last several months without her. She is great at her job and a wonderful person. I was very lucky to have her support.

You can see one of the emails from Jered below who is one of the executives at the company (it's a…read moregood example of how he communicates and manages relationships). My husband planned to send in the retainer that night but got stuck in the ER. My husband was able to send in the retainer the next morning but we never heard back from Jared. We had been communicating with Jared up until the point including asking follow-up questions about the contract and asking to meeting with our main POC. Relative to other similar firms the costs are higher and the contract is structured in a way where parents pay the fee earlier in the relationship than other firms. We compared the Family Creations contract against 9 other firms our friends have used in the Bay Area. Family Creations was the least parent friendly contract.

The choice of girls on the books with Alexis is super impressive. All very pretty!…read moreI ended up going to another agency in the end though for many reasons. I was unimpressed by Alexis and her lack of grammar and the pink writing. I am sure this is a nice and caring way to communicate with the younger donors. But if you are handing over a substantial amount of money to someone you look at the little details like being able to write grammatically correct emails. Many of the phone calls with her were rushed and haphazard...done in the car en-route to another location...Alexis was super in touch when I was almost about to book the donor and hand over money. It was all about the little finer details with me. If you are handing over month in the 10's of thousands you at least want the person replying to be able to spell and if you can't spell then use auto-correct, it was super unprofessional and seemed worrying with such a large decision to make on the donor. The agency I went with were SUPER helpful in helping me find a clinic near the donor to cycle. Alexis was initially kind of helpful but after a few times I was told "they'd helped me" even though the suggestions they gave me were not suitable. I would say amazing donors on the books but I would say more professionalism is needed throughout comms with clients so they truly believe in the process with you!

Golden Egg, Alexis and Sabrina are so awesome. When we first embarked on our journey to grow our…read morefamily, we had reached out to another "reputable" agency and ended up having a truly negative experience with the people who ran it. We feel so fortunate to have found Alexis. Being that this entire experience is a fairly personal one, having someone who truly and wholeheartedly understands was invaluable. She not only gets it, but is super cool. When speaking with Alexis and Sabrina, it was like speaking with friends who understood and only wanted to help out as much as they could. Sometimes things don't go as planned. But when you have people on your team who are not only cheerleaders, but help you figure out the best solution with positivity, it's amazing. They are truly a people-first company, always keeping in mind the well-being of both clients and the incredible donors who help make others' dreams come true. In short, I cannot recommend Golden Egg Donation enough. GED 4 life!

They handled everything with professionalism and warmth, ensuring I felt supported every step of the way. I am seriously considering doing another journey before having another child of my own because this experience was so rewarding. Helping my Intended Parents complete their family was truly life changing, and I could not have asked for a better agency to guide me through it. If you are thinking about becoming a surrogate, I highly recommend.

I originally chose this surrogacy agency because they boasted a protective, responsive, "boutique"…read moreexperience as they only took 60 families per year to maintain great relationships with their clients. We loved this and were so sad to find our experience far from what what promised. Our first surrogate fell through because the agency allowed the surrogate to make a breach of good faith and raise her cost 10k AFTER talking to us. Instead of telling the surrogate that wasn't fair to do to us the IPs, they just passed it right on to us. The trust was broken and we decided to try a different match. With this new match they tried to claim that the husband who works in HVAC makes $32/hr but were charging well over $40/hr in "potential commission" instead of following standard protocol and verifying this themselves, the agency once again just passed it on to us without even verifying. As you can see, we were not protected at any point during our time with their agency. We had to ask for them to verify it... and somehow, they decided to reach out to the surrogate without our permission (not the first time, by the way) and tell her we wanted them to lower the price. That was not at all the case, we only wanted to verify the wage per standard protocol.... we were dropped by that surrogate. Therefore, our "advocates" and "agency" made two of our possibly wonderful surrogates fall through. They refused to take any responsibility, showed no care whatsoever for our embarrassment and hurt, and honestly should find a different business to work in. This is a very precious and sensitive experience, please listen to me and save yourself the heart break...go elsewhere. From, "your dream IPs" EDIT: Again... (thanks for the copy and paste "apology". SO genuine.) The response given was a business-forward, half-way apology after the fact. You completely left out all of the places in which you went wrong, and that says a lot. Let's not forget that after talking with surro #1 you allowed the surogate to mark up her price 10k (not the amount you posted).. that is a breach of good faith, unprofessional, and honestly in a good agency should have never gotten to us. The correct response to what y'all did to us would have been to make it right with the second failed surrogate by admitting that y'all went straight to her without conferring with us first. We felt so embarrassed by that as negotiating was not our objective whatsoever, we wanted to make the family whole without being taken advantage of (a 140% markup is well beyond industry standard, and you cannot tell me otherwise). As I stated before, y'all didn't follow your own protocol on verifying that before passing it on to us. To bring it memory, this is a protocol that is literally stated on page 14 of your benefits package; is it y'all's duty to verify all base wages... you did not do that. You failed us and that hurts during such a sensitive time. It's been made clear this is just business (a business that fails their own protocols and does not protect their IPs the way they do their surrogates). That's not a business we want to work with, so all good there.

We had terrible experience and there were mutiple failures from the engagement managers. There was…read moresevere lack of accountability and professionalism in delivering any results. We ended up terminating our contract after 15 months without any progress. Avoid working with this agency at all cost. We ended working with other agency and have had great result. Here are the details on how CSP missed in delivering any results: 1) Prolonged Process: The process has taken much longer than initially promised. After 15 months since we began this journey, we have yet to be matched with any surrogate. 2) Lack of Engagement: Since we signed the contract in April, 2023, there has been a lack of proactive engagement from CSP. We experienced radio silence from our case managers for a year and had to reach out multiple times in April 2024 to get CSP's attention, ultimately enforcing a weekly cadence with our case manager and asking her manager to attend our call to make any progress. 3) Unsuitable Candidates: We presented our criteria for a surrogate to CSP in April 2023. However, when candidates were finally presented to us 13 months after, they consistently failed to meet our standard criteria. Many did not receive medical clearance from our doctor or were located far from our preferred locations. 4) Unfulfilled Promises: In May 2024, we were promised a potential surrogate in California who had supposedly expressed interest in matching with us. However, we were informed less than 12 hours before our scheduled match call that the surrogate seemingly and suddenly had backed out. We felt we were not informed transparently about her intent to work with other intended parents.

I have had an incredible journey with CSP in 2018 and am on my second journey, and although my…read moresecond journey has been a challenge, I am grateful for the opportunity to help another family, and have another beautiful experience as a surrogate. None of it would be achieved without the help of CSP. If you're a new surrogate or repeat surrogate looking for a new agency, CSP remains the best and holds the most important factors in an agency: 100% honesty, transparency, and support: My first journey was perfect, and needed little assistance, but my second journey has proven that surrogacy isn't always easy, and my case manager and counselor have been beside my side at any moment I need and check on me all the time. Not many agencies provide a 24/7 counselor. You may be someone who doesn't think that's someone you need to lean on, I didn't either, and when the time came, I was so grateful. Incomparable matching: I have been matched perfectly three times! All three of my IP's have a special place in my heart. I have relationships that will last a lifetime. Medical Clearance: They will medically clear their surrogates BEFORE matching so nothing questionable comes up during an RE's medical clearance. Trust Coordinators: You are provided a trust coordinator to oversee every financial aspect from beginning to postpartum. On-time payments: Piggybacking off of the trust coordinator perk: I've never once had an issue with anything regarding finances. Everything is always paid in full, on time. That's the beauty of having someone specific for that role. Experience: They are the oldest agency in the world! They have seen it all and know how to handle any and all situations that come their way. Experience is another reason why they are sooooo good with matching. Other factors that may be important to others are compensation - they have very competitive compensation, location - they work across the U.S. and work in any surrogacy friendly state, but it is not necessary to be in the same state as the agency. They also work with domestic and international IP's. And last, but not least, the size of the company. Many people prefer a smaller company which in comparison, CSP is not, but CSP is loaded with knowledgeable individuals, with decades of experience, and a small company vibe. The atmosphere and interactions received by each employee at CSP does not entertain any perception that the surrogate is just "a number". I am so thankful I chose CSP as my agency. Most surrogates that intend to have subsequent journeys return to CSP and there is a reason why - they are the best! Thank you for everything you do!

If you're an intended parent considering using Tiny Sprouts Surrogacy as your agency, run away as…read morefast as you can and don't look back. My partner and I attempted to work with Tiny Sprouts and it was an enormous waste of money, time, and effort, setting us back in our process by a year. It was also emotionally devastating. The first surrogate we were matched with turned out to have a history of multiple arrests by the police that we discovered when we searched on her name and city on duckduckgo.com. Thankfully, we discovered this before a pregnancy had occurred, but not until we had already spent considerable time and money getting the surrogate through medical screening and ready for a transfer. The second surrogate we were matched with did not become pregnant and lab tests showed that a pregnancy could not be successful because she had virtually no progesterone in her system. The most likely scientific explanation was non-compliance with taking the required progesterone support needed to become pregnant and sustain a pregnancy. Other red flags: The agency's website does not include the names/bios of the staff or an address. The owner appears to use a different last name than their actual last name. A leading national surrogacy referral/concierge service in the U.S. dropped Tiny Sprouts as an agency they refer.

All of them were so nice and helpful, they answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable doing the donation. It was important for them to make me feel very welcome and informed because donating can be a scary thing for first-time donors. My friend has dealt with unfriendly coordinators at other agencies and it made her feel very uncomfortable and she dreaded working with them. I never felt that here at Egg Donation Inc, therefore, I will only work with them and not anybody else. I recommend anybody who has thought about becoming a donor to come here. They make the process so easy and comfortable. Thanks EDI!
