I had a fantastic experience as an Intended Parent with SAI. I have a beautiful, healthy, amazing 3-month-old daughter. I cannot say enough good things about SAI - they are truly professionals and have so much experience in the surrogacy space. They know every doctor, hospital, surrogate, agency and have a pulse on everything. After interviewing 3 other agencies, I went with SAI because I felt completely understood by them. They understood me and my husband and were able to match us with the right surrogate quickly. Quick tip: when considering an agency, think about this relationship almost like dating. You want to find an agency that understands you, your values and what matters. This led us to our amazing surrogate who I adore and have nothing but the utmost respect and care for. She is incredible, kind, communicative, organized, thoughtful and just a lovely person. We continue to have a growing friendship and I hope for many years to come. Another reason, I worked with SAI was they were the right size agency. They were small enough where you would get all the attention and care that you need but large enough where their networks are big and they can work fast. From the time we submitted our application, it was 2 weeks to the time we were matched. It was fast! And a little over a year later, we have our dream baby. I was referred by a friend of a friend who works at an IVF clinic in Texas and the doctor at that clinic said SAI is the best. I truly think they have built a strong team and network in the surrogacy space. Of course, nothing is perfect and things do happen in this process but as far as having supportive caring people on your side, SAI will be there along the way. I shared this feedback with SAI already so maybe they will implement it soon. I wish SAI had a support group for Intended Parents. It's an emotional rollercoaster going through this for the first time and it would be nice to connect with other intended parents who understand this journey. My fertility journey was far from easy and so this process brought up lots of fear that I had to work through. So my advice is to find others going through the process with who you can check in regularly and talk about how it is going. I leaned on my one friend quite a bit and that was so helpful. When it comes to costs, the worksheet they shared with you is pretty much exactly the cost of everything. They have the costs very dialed-in. I truly don't have any negative feedback for them. They exceeded all my expectations. The best thing you can do is to be clear about what you're looking for in a surrogate and let them make it happen. They can work magic :-). Best of luck to all you IP's!
