We offer advanced programs to ensure our candidates are meticulously screened, both physically and mentally, and maintain a strong support system.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this agency. We were intended parents from GA and I am so glad we chose to use an agency. SAI not only has an AMAZING team of people (seriously- everyone there is a blessing. They are either intended parented or former angel surrogates and want the BEST for both parties). We were surprised at how accommodating and supportive they were - even when my hormones or emotions got in the way and I didn’t deserve it - our team was supportive, professional, patient and kind. They all get it. They’ve been here and have been doing it for years. They also have excellent recommendations and connections. We matched with an angel and would never have our sweet baby without them. We hope to be fortunate enough to do another surrogacy and will 1000% be using SAI again. Highly, highly recommended! 🩵.

When my partner and I were researching agencies, we wanted an agency that was local in San Diego and one where we felt well supported. SAI checked all the boxes. They also came highly recommended by two of my coworkers that had also used them.nnI am so happy we chose SAI! My partner and I had a wonderful experience. They made the process so smooth and supported us throughout the entire process. Their communication with us was top notch, and we received regular texts from our case manager Holly. We matched with a wonderful surrogate and were blessed to welcome our daughter in May 2024.nnWe are currently in the process of starting our second journey with SAI!.

I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you so much to all of the staff at SAI for providing me the best experience I could’ve asked for. I completed my very first surrogacy journey in May 2024. SAI found me the most incredible intended parents who really cared about me and my well-being. They attended most of the OB appointments and were involved throughout the journey, we still have a close relationship to this day! I carried a girl for the Intended parents and she is so precious! Every moment and milestone through my journey was highlighted by the staff. I received very thoughtful gifts along the way, and was also able to attend to surrogate retreat throughout my journey. The retreats were so memorable and I had the best time, not only with the staff, but with my other surrogate sisters as well. Through my journey, I have met some other amazing surrogate friends that have become such a close friend in my life. SAI had connected me with the best resources and always had reassurance when I needed it. I highly recommend SAI to any surrogate out there, looking to start a journey, whether it’s your first or last journey! I want to add, I started my search for a reputable agency back in 2020 after I delivered my first son and had only bad experiences with other agencies. I’m so thankful I found SAI and I hope one day I’ll get to do another journey in the future. 😊
