Why Working with a Licensed Agency Is Safer for Surrogates

Choosing the right agency is one of the most important decisions a surrogate can make.
At Surrogacy4All, a fully licensed and accredited agency, we prioritize your health, rights, and wellbeing every step of the way.
Here’s why working with a licensed agency is the safest, smartest choice for surrogates.

Key Benefits of Choosing a Licensed Agency

  • Strict Screening Standards: Only qualified Intended Parents and surrogates are matched.
  • Full Legal Protection: Clear contracts protect your rights and ensure fair treatment.
  • Guaranteed Payments: Escrow accounts managed by licensed third parties secure your compensation.
  • Medical Coordination: Access to trusted fertility clinics and experienced OB-GYNs.
  • Emotional Support: Licensed agencies offer counseling, support groups, and ongoing guidance.
  • Ethical Standards: Licensed agencies follow best practices set by ASRM, SEEDS, and other organizations.

Risks of Working with Unlicensed Agencies or Independent Matches

  • No guarantee of Intended Parents’ financial readiness
  • Lack of protection if disputes arise
  • Risk of delayed or missing compensation payments
  • No advocacy if medical or emotional challenges occur
  • No formal screening of Intended Parents or surrogates

Checklist: How to Confirm an Agency Is Licensed

Ask for proof of licensing in their state. At present New York State is the only state that issues surrogacy agency license. Only about 40 agencies out of hundreds have passed the criteria to be licensed.

Ask if they are registered and have been inspected by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA). Only 9 agencies out of hundreds are FDA registered.

Check if they are SEEDS, ASRM, or SART members

Review online reviews

  • Confirm escrow management practices
  • Look for clear contracts and fee schedules
