So you are interested in becoming a surrogate, but aren’t sure which agency to choose? Or maybe you’re trying to decide whether to use an agency at all and considering the possibility of navigating the process independently?

The logistics involved in the gestational surrogacy process can be mind-blowing. With so many choices before you, it’s easy to get overwhelmed!

Here are 5 reasons why our Surrogates say they’re glad they chose TeamFSC to guide them through the process of becoming a Gestational Surrogate.

You'll have a dedicated Program Coordinator who will guide you through every phase of your journey

‘What am I doing?!’ Is a question you’ll never have to ask when you are a TeamFSC Surrogate. Our Program Coordinators are passionate about helping to build families and are experts at guiding you through each phase of your Surrogacy journey. We are committed to making sure your journey is as stress-free as possible!

“I have absolutely loved my experience and interactions with FSC (Meg is incredible!)” – Surrogate Jennifer

We'll take care of the 'business' side of things

Few things are more awkward than talking about money, so we’ll handle the difficult conversations for you. From contract questions to medical bills, we’ll be a buffer between you and your intended parents, so that both sides can focus on building your relationship and enjoying your surrogacy journey together!

“I am glad you check in with us and help us work through the business side of it. It makes it easier to have a personal relationship with the parents. It is nice to stay in touch with them about our families and more fun things than bills.” – Surrogate Alicia

You're not alone if things don't go as planned

Sometimes, no matter how well we plan, the unexpected happens. We’re here to help you navigate through the tough stuff.  As a TeamFSC surrogate, you’ll always find a soft place to land.  Whether you just want to chat, or need a literal shoulder to cry on, our online support group, surrogate mentor program and in-person support meetings provide multiple layers of support to ensure that someone is always within reach.

“I can’t thank you enough for being so great. I have had nothing but the best experience with you and the entire agency through all of this.” – Surrogate G.

You'll get fun surprises throughout your journey

We celebrate the “little things” along the way!  Each milestone is celebrated with a meaningful gift that is sure to bring a smile to your face.

“Just another reason this agency is amazing! The little gifts are so sweet and thoughtful!” – Surrogate Erika

You'll make tons of friends

Perhaps one of the very best things about being a TeamFSC Surrogate is becoming a part of network of compassionate, caring women who are here to support you throughout your surrogacy journey and beyond!

We offer several in-person meetings a month in the Chicagoland area, as well as monthly meetings in Texas and Florida. We also welcome first time surrogates to participate in our mentorship program, which pairs new surrogates with an experienced surrogate mentor for one on one guidance and support.  After all, the best support is provided by people who’ve experienced the journey themselves!

“I am so excited for this journey, and love all the support and contacts that are available to me. It makes this more of a relationship than a business thing, and I LOVE IT!” – Surrogate Erica

Once you’re a member of the FSC Family, you’re always a member of the FSC Family.  You’ll find that many women continue to attend our support group events and participate in our online support group long after they have completed their own surrogacy journeys.

Surrogacy truly is a sisterhood that few are privileged enough to be able to join. Though we all come from different backgrounds, one thing unites us – the desire to help others make their dreams of parenthood a reality.
