Pennsylvania Surrogacy Agency Built on Experience, Ethics, and Personal Support

Guided Surrogacy Solutions supports gestational surrogates and intended parents through every step of the surrogacy process, from prescreening and matching to pregnancy and delivery. We work with clients in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, West Virginia, and Maryland.

How Surrogacy Works

The surrogacy process unfolds in two stages: prescreening and matching. Both surrogates and intended parents go through their own prescreening steps before being matched together. Once matched, the journey moves through medical screening, legal clearance, embryo transfer, pregnancy, and delivery.

Becoming a Surrogate

The surrogacy process begins with an application, followed by a medical record review, background check, psychosocial evaluation, and insurance review. Once cleared, you’ll be matched with intended parents and supported by our team from your first conversation through delivery and beyond.

You’ll have a dedicated surrogate case manager, access to counseling, your own independent attorney, and a compensation package designed to reflect the significance of what you’re doing. Surrogate compensation depends on factors like experience, individual circumstances, and the specifics of your journey, and includes base compensation, monthly allowances, milestone payments, life insurance, counseling, and more.

Starting Your Parenthood Journey

The surrogacy process for intended parents begins with a consultation, profile creation, background checks, and preparation with third-party professionals including fertility clinics, attorneys, escrow agents, and insurance specialists.

Once cleared, you’ll be matched with a prescreened gestational surrogate and our team will manage the coordination so you can focus on growing your family.

Surrogacy costs for intended parents depend on factors like medical needs, legal requirements, surrogate compensation, and insurance. We provide a transparent breakdown so you can plan with confidence.

What Makes Our Agency Different

We limit our intended parent waitlist to twenty families at a time so every surrogate and every family receives truly personalized attention. Every surrogate is paired with a dedicated case manager and has access to counseling, monthly support group calls, and a community of fellow surrogates.

Both surrogates and intended parents have their own independent legal representation, and all compensation is held in a secure escrow account managed by a neutral third party.
