Welcome Intended Parents
Congratulations on taking one of the first steps in pursuing your dream of parenthood!
Surrogacy has made it possible for multitudes of deserving people worldwide to become parents and is a meaningful and beautiful family-building experience. While surrogacy can be a long, complex and emotional journey to parenthood, the moment you hold your baby for the first time is so overwhelming and incredible, it’s hard to put into words! Our Founder and CEO, Staci Swiderski, founded this agency after her own journey to parenthood through surrogacy, with a dream to alleviate all pressures involved for other intended parents. Almost two decades later, we still follow those same core values in leading with compassion, transparency, and ethics. As many of us are former intended parents ourselves, we are uniquely qualified to share this journey with you.
Starting Your Journey
Whether you are just starting on the journey to building your family, or you’re exploring surrogacy after infertility challenges, we’re committed to supporting you at each step, alleviating the pressures you face while sharing our expertise and passion until you have your baby in your arms.
Selecting an Agency
We recommend selecting an agency as the first step on your journey to have the support and guidance from the very beginning in selecting a fertility clinic that meets your needs, a reproductive attorney, or an egg donor (if one is required). Another reason is to allow you to work on other steps in the process while waiting to be matched.
The Surrogacy Process
Making a great match is of the highest priority at Family Source. Our experienced team ensures all parties have similar expectations for their journey. Surrogacy is an extremely emotional and intimate experience and making the proper match takes not only skill, but intuition.
Our team includes experienced surrogates, donors and previous intended parents and can appreciate the gamut of emotions that the matching process can evoke. Having made nearly a thousand successful matches is a testimony to our expertise.

Our Fixed Package provides financial protection against unforeseen challenges, ensuring you can focus on what truly matters: building your family. This all-inclusive package covers every aspect of the surrogacy journey, offering peace of mind with no hidden fees or surprises. With our most extensive and risk-free surrogacy program, you can embark on your family building journey with confidence and security, knowing that we are dedicated to making your dream of parenthood a reality.
Our Standard Surrogacy Program is designed as a line item with an estimated range of $135-$165k. This program features a fixed agency fee, but the total expenses can fluctuate based on your surrogate’s needs and medical circumstances throughout the journey.

Family Source Consultants – Provider #006834
*Only for loan inquiries submitted through the Standard Credit Program.
Family Source Consultants accepts surrogates who reside in the United States into our program. Currently, no nationwide law governs surrogacy in the United States; each state has its specific surrogacy laws. Even if Intended Parents reside in a state or country where surrogacy or “paid surrogacy” is considered illegal or the laws are undefined, they can still pursue surrogacy to build their family. Intended Parents will be matched with a Surrogate who resides and will deliver in a “surrogacy-friendly” state.
Surrogacy laws in the United States and around the world are continually evolving. To ensure compliance and legal security, Family Source Consultants is pleased to recommend Intended Parents to a reputable collaborative reproduction attorney who can provide professional legal counsel. While Family Source Consultants can assist in determining the surrogacy laws applicable in your particular state, we are not qualified to offer legal advice. Therefore, when working with our agency, you will be referred to a reputable collaborative reproduction attorney who can provide you with the necessary professional legal counsel. This ensures that all parties are fully informed and protected throughout surrogacy.
We accept agency fee payments via major cards (American Express, Visa, Master Card, and Discover), personal/bank check, or wire.
Family Source is pleased to recommend reputable fertility centers for your consideration.
No. Fertility center expenses (e.g., screening, embryo creation, embryo transfers, medications, etc.) are not included in our Fixed Surrogacy Program Fee. Please check with your fertility center for their costs.
Family Source Consultants generally recommends transferring a single embryo. However, if Intended Parents choose to transfer two embryos and their reproductive endocrinologist approves, we ensure that the surrogates presented for matching are comfortable with this decision.
Our Fixed Package covers reviewing the surrogate’s current insurance policy and searching for a new surrogacy-friendly policy if needed. However, the costs for medical and maternity insurance premiums, co-pays, and deductibles are not included in the Fixed-Cost Surrogacy Program Fee.
A Gestational Surrogate has no genetic link to the child/ren she is carrying. A Gestational Surrogate becomes pregnant through the IVF procedure, in which the eggs of the Intended Mother (or Egg Donor) and the sperm of the Intended Father (or a Sperm Donor) are combined to create embryos, which are then implanted into the womb of the Surrogate.
Absolutely. We do not discriminate against any person based on marital status.
Family Source Consultants provide a non-biased liaison service for Intended Parents and Surrogates/Egg Donors.
Our goal is to encourage communication throughout the process and ensure a positive and healthy relationship between all parties involved. In order to make certain the journey is gratifying for all parties involved, we will oversee each step of the process in a supportive and proficient manner.
The level of contact between Intended Parents and their Surrogate is a personal decision. Some Intended Parents prefer frequent updates via email or phone and wish to attend many doctor appointments, seeking to be highly involved in the pregnancy. Surrogates may also appreciate a close relationship; many develop lifelong friendships with their Intended Parents.
Conversely, some Intended Parents and Surrogates prefer minimal contact, treating the arrangement more as a business relationship. This might involve occasional updates and phone calls, with limited in-person interactions until the delivery.
Family Source believes the most important aspect is to establish and agree on the desired level of communication and involvement during the matching process and ensure both parties strive to meet these expectations throughout the journey
