Surrogacy Agencies: What You Should Know

As you prepare for your surrogacy journey, it’s important to find a surrogacy program that’s right for you. The usual option is using a surrogacy agency. A surrogacy agency provides the recruitment and screenings. While this is often a popular choice among intended parents, more and more families are looking for a more intimate experience.

Benefits of a physician-led surrogacy program

Not only does California Center for Reproductive Medicine (CACRM) perform all medically required screenings for surrogates, but we also conduct additional medical evaluations. Before you even meet your potential surrogate, these include checking for a history of high blood pressure, diabetes, or other complications during previous pregnancy. We also require all surrogates undergo a hysteroscopy procedure, to confirm the uterus is a healthy host for the pregnancy. Furthermore, CACRM surrogates are thoroughly evaluated for physical, mental and emotional health before they are ever presented to you. We offer a unique, physician-led surrogacy program in which Dr. Lori Arnold, a board-certified fertility specialist, renowned for her excellence in reproductive medical care, personally screens all surrogates. As such, we maintain an exclusive database of available surrogate mothers to make sure that you are matched with the healthiest surrogate possible.

Dr. Arnold also takes great care to ensure the intended parents are compatible with the surrogate and personally cares for the surrogate throughout the entire pregnancy.
