Commonly Asked
Questions
1
What is the difference between the services you offer and a full-service surrogacy agency?
It depends on the service package selected and the agency but generally speaking there are two main differences from a surrogate's perspective.
​
1. In most cases, I do not actively seek and match surrogates. They come to me already matched OR they contact me to find out if I am working with parents who are still in the process of finding a surrogate.
​
2. I allow surrogates to select their own compensation and benefits.
2
What if I need assistance determining my compensation?
While I empower surrogates to set their own compensation, I am always open to discussing options and industry standards. That way each surrogate can make the best decision for herself, her family and her situation.
3
How do I find a match if I am not already connected with an intended parent?
There are several ways a surrogate can find a match.
1. Through close connections in their inner circle whether that be family, friends, coworkers, known experienced surrogates or known experienced intended parents.
​
2. Through online independent match groups such as "Surrogates and IPS Match Group" on Facebook.
​
3. Through K.B. Surrogacy. While I do not actively seek out surrogates, I will connect them if a surrogate approaches me looking for a match and I am in contact with intended parent(s) who are still in the process of finding a match.
4
Can I speak with a surrogate who already completed a journey with you?
Of course. I have several surrogates who would be happy to connect and share their experience.
5
Do you handle payments and disbursements for your matches?
Yes. I handle payments and disbursements through an intended parents chosen third party escrow. If a surrogate's intended parent does not choose the standard service option (#1) she will be notified before proceeding to ensure she feels comfortable taking on all or some of that responsibility.
6
How often do you communicate with a surrogate during her journey?
At a minimum I communicate with both surrogates and intended parents on a weekly basis. If a surrogate requests less frequent communication I will happily adjust.
7
Do you provide referrals for attorneys, escrow companies, insurance brokers, etc?
Yes. I provide referrals for ART professionals at appropriate milestones and upon request.
8
What are the qualifications for becoming a surrogate ?
Every fertility clinic and intended parent will have their own matching requirements but you can find a basic overview on the "qualifications" subpage.
