American Surrogacy Texas

American Surrogacy Texas

American Surrogacy, located in Overland Park, Kansas, has provided complete surrogacy services to prospective Surrogates across the country and prospective Intended Parents around the world since 2013.

Our roots are firmly planted in adoption and have now sprouted into surrogacy. Our sister company, American Adoptions, was founded in 1991 by a handful of people dedicated to completing adoptions with each party's best interest in mind - especially the adoptee's. This adoptee-focused approach, along with 24/7 Birth Mother support and other exclusive adoption services, has made American Adoptions a pioneer in the industry.

As surrogacy continued to increase in popularity, so too did the need for a more child-focused and Surrogate-supportive approach. Thus, American Surrogacy was founded in 2013 and developed with the Child-Centered Surrogacy Program at the forefront of everything we do.

More than 25 years ago, Scott Mars had an idea: to create a better family-building process. As an adoptee himself, he had experience in several aspects of the adoption process, including his own private domestic infant adoption and his time as a foster sibling when his parents opened up their home to children in need of a temporary placement. Thinking about what he and his parents had gone through, he decided to join them and create a brand new adoption agency. Thus, our sister agency American Adoptions was formed.

Scott Mars and his parents, Ted and Susan Mars, founded American Adoptions in 1991, dedicated to completing adoptions with each party’s best interest in mind — especially the adoptee’s and the prospective birth mother’s. American Adoptions has continued perfecting their adoptee-centered adoption programs by working with several of the children (now adults) whose adoptions they completed. They are also dedicated to providing pre- and post-placement support to women considering adoption in a way few other adoption agencies today do.

This adoptee- and birth-mother-focused approach, along with other exclusive adoption services, has made American Adoptions a pioneer in the industry. The national agency currently participates in and completes hundreds of adoptions each year, has built thousands of families since it was founded, and is viewed as one of the most reputable adoption agencies in the country.

For Mars, adoption was more than a business — it was a personal opportunity to give back to those who helped bring him and his parents together when he was just 10 days old.

While completing their infant adoptions, the American Adoptions staff began to hear a recurring idea from their adoption attorneys who also practice surrogacy law: As surrogacy continued to increase in popularity, so too did the need for a more child-focused and surrogate-supportive approach. What was missing from modern surrogacies was an agency like American Adoptions.

So, Scott Mars started thinking about the difference he and his team could make in another family-building process: gestational surrogacy. For Mars, adoption was just the tip of the iceberg; there was a brand new way of building families out there, and he wanted to help those hopeful parents, too.

“What happens right now is, individually, each person — whether that be an adoption agency or fertility specialist — is telling you everything about their practice. But, they don’t know everything about where you are truly at and all of the family-building methods,” Mars says. “We really believe that there has to be more ways to help people.”

So, he got together with a team of experienced adoption professionals to build a new kind of surrogacy agency. They knew what the advantages were of using positive approaches in their adoption organization, and it made sense to them to found a surrogacy agency with the same ideals. Thus, American Surrogacy was founded in 2013 and has been providing exemplary services to intended parents and surrogates ever since.
