Inside Smart Surrogacy: A Compassionate and Transparent Approach to Family Building

A Mission Born from Personal Experience

Smart Surrogacy was founded with one clear purpose - to make surrogacy kinder, clearer, and more affordable for families around the world. The agency’s story begins with personal experience: after witnessing her own family’s infertility struggles and her sister’s heartbreak, the founder set out to create a more compassionate alternative.

“We exist to help well-deserving families bring home a healthy baby through a process that is transparent, human, and deeply supported—every step of the way,” the team shared.

Since its founding in 2018, Smart Surrogacy has helped hundreds of families grow across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, guided by a team that has lived through surrogacy and fertility journeys firsthand—as intended parents, surrogates, egg donors, and program directors.

The Journey: From Consultation to “Hello, Baby”

The Smart Surrogacy process is designed to be both structured and supportive:

2. Readiness & Budget Mapping: The team helps create a realistic, all-inclusive plan covering clinic requirements, legal steps, and total costs.
3. Curated Matching (1–8 weeks): Intended parents review vetted surrogate profiles aligned medically, legally, and ethically.
4. Clinic & Legal Clearance: Includes OB review, psychological screening, labs, uterine assessment, and legal contracts.
5. Funding & Logistics: Milestone-based escrow management, travel coordination, and transfer planning.
6. Pregnancy Support: Ongoing case management, emotional check-ins, and benefits administration.
7. Birth & Parentage: Legal parentage orders, hospital coordination, newborn insurance, and a smooth transition to parenthood.

Surrogate Screening and Support

Smart Surrogacy emphasizes the well-being and dignity of every surrogate. Each candidate undergoes a thorough medical, psychological, and background screening per ASRM and clinic guidelines. Matching considers medical history, BMI, prior pregnancies, state laws, and personal communication preferences.

Once matched, surrogates receive:

• A dedicated coordinator with 24/7 availability
• Mental-health support and optional doula care
• Financial benefits management, including reimbursements and allowances
• Travel coordination and seamless communication
• A supportive community that treats surrogates with warmth, not transactionality

Ethics, Legal Integrity, and Transparency

Smart Surrogacy prioritizes ethical, legally sound surrogacy practices.

• Surrogacy takes place only in legally friendly states.
• All financials are milestone-based and held in licensed escrow for full transparency.
• The agency follows ASRM-aligned guidelines and ensures informed, pressure-free consent for both intended parents and surrogates.

The agency notes growing trends among:

• International parents seeking U.S. or hybrid programs
• Single parents by choice and LGBTQ+ families

Their near-term goals include keeping average match times under six weeks, expanding partnerships with top fertility clinics, and continuing to publish guides that make the surrogacy process less intimidating for new parents.
