My Honest Experience with Tammuz Family

Overall Rating
As a current client of Tammuz, I cannot recommend their services based on our experience over the past 2 years. Tammuz is a third-party company rather than the clinic itself. They primarily forward information between you and the clinic. There have been significant delays at almost every step of the process, and communication has often been frustrating. Tammuz is an Israeli company, and payments are made in euros to Israel. There is no escrow account. Once they receive your money, they hold the funds. I also feel there is a lack of transparency throughout the process. Their focus appears to be on marketing & bringing in as many clients as possible, but once you become a client, you can be left waiting with little clarity about where you stand or how long the process will actually take. This has been an extremely difficult and frustrating experience. Unfortunately, Tammuz has not been working in our best interest or providing the level of communication, transparency, & support.

I signed with Tammuz two years ago and am starting to think it might be a scam. I entered my latest waitlist 8 months ago with an expected wait time of four months. Now, 8 months later, it’s still an expected wait time of “four months”. I knew the process would take a long time but there has been no transparency about why the waitlist hasn’t moved in eight months. Will update if there is any improvement.

We are a Brazilian same-sex couple who chose Tammuz to help us fulfill our dream of becoming parents through surrogacy.nnWhen we signed our contract with Tammuz, we were consistently informed that the average timeline for completing the process would be approximately two years, subject, of course, to the uncertainties and unforeseen circumstances that are inherent to any surrogacy journey. We fully understood that occasional delays could occur and that certain factors are beyond the control of any agency. However, the problems we have experienced throughout our journey go far beyond these natural variables.nnAfter nearly two years since signing the contract and paying substantial amounts of money, our overall impression is one of complete disorganization and a loss of operational control by the company. Only through persistent follow-ups, repeated requests, and numerous complaints were we able to progress to the embryo creation stage. Even then, the process unfolded under conditions different from those originally contracted, as our embryo was ultimately created in Argentina rather than Colombia, as initially planned.nnNow, to our surprise, we have been informed that the estimated waiting time to begin interviews with potential surrogates is approximately another 13 months. At this stage of the process, such a timeline seems entirely inconsistent with the expectations created by the company itself and with the timelines presented during the sales process. In practical terms, even if everything proceeds smoothly from this point forward, the overall process is already heading toward a duration of four years or more.nnWhat is even more concerning is that our situation does not appear to be an isolated case. We participate in groups with numerous other intended parents who report similar—or even more serious—experiences involving repeated delays, changes in planning, and a lack of predictability. This raises legitimate concerns about the company's ability to properly manage the demand it has taken on.nnThe impression we are left with is that Tammuz has lost operational control over the service it provides. While clients are frequently reminded to manage their expectations and anxiety, little is said about the company's own responsibility to manage the process effectively and meet the expectations it originally established. The constant extension of timelines, without meaningful corrective actions or solutions, ultimately shifts the burden of these operational issues onto the clients.nnFor anyone considering hiring Tammuz, I would strongly recommend speaking not only with families who have already completed their journeys, but especially with those who are still waiting. These are the people experiencing the current reality of the operation and can provide a more accurate picture of the situation as it exists today.nnAs for our case, we continue to wait for the company to present concrete and reasonable alternatives that can restore the trust of its clients and demonstrate that it still has the capacity to manage the process efficiently and in a manner consistent with the commitments made at the outset.

We’re grateful for our daughter, but deeply disappointed in Tammuz’s service. The agency acted more like an email forwarding service than a professional guide. We received no prenatal support (e.g., CPR workshop, psychological help, or guidance on Israeli benefits), no clear instructions about Mexican visa logistics (which led to a shortened stay), and no warning about the critical newborn hearing test—now causing insurance problems for our child in Israel.nnEven urgent medical updates during the birth were passed to us with zero explanation. We nearly missed the birth due to unclear communication about the due date. For the price we paid, the lack of guidance and accountability is unacceptable.

We are beyond grateful for All Families Surrogacy (AFS) and the incredible role they played in helping us bring our beautiful, healthy baby boy into the world in 2024. As first-time parents with no experience navigating the surrogacy process, we were overwhelmed at the start—but AFS guided us every step of the way with compassion, clarity, and deep expertise.nnFrom the very beginning, they made sure we understood each phase of the journey and always felt supported (and special shout out to Krystle, who was with us every step of the way). One of the highlights was the legal team they connected us with—our attorney (Erin Robinson) was absolutely fantastic and made a complex process feel straightforward and secure.nnThanks to AFS, our son was safely delivered and came home to San Francisco with his two very proud dads shortly after. The experience was long, expensive, and emotional at times - but so extremely positive that we've already decided to begin a second journey with the amazing AFS team. We can't recommend them highly enough to anyone considering surrogacy—they truly made our dreams of being dads come true.

Going into a surrogacy journey is an exciting yet overwhelming process. AFS was the perfect agency match for me. My coordinator, and everyone that I worked with through my journey as a surrogate, were knowledgeable and supportive. They took the stress out of all tasks that must be completed such as insurance, legal, medical screenings so that I was able to focus primarily on growing a happy healthy human being. I will suggest them to anyone who is considering becoming a surrogate.

All Families Surrogacy has been a great agency to work with! After I knew I wanted to be a surrogate, I reached out to AFS and Tawni quickly responded and has been there next to me every step of the way. Not only do they take the time to ensure you are a good fit to be a surrogate, they also make sure that you have the support needed throughout your journey and even afterwards. AND, they do an amazing job matching you with intended parents! We completed a journey July 2023, but I wouldn’t even say “completed” because of our desire and the intended parents desire to continue to be apart of each others lives! Our journey continues and this is all thanks to All Families Surrogacy for being amazing at what they do!nOne other thing I would like to note as well is something my husband brought up while on this journey. He said he also felt supported and loved how much support the agency gives, not just to the surrogate but to the entire family. They know how important support is and it was truly felt before, during and now after!
