Browsing, filtering and saving surrogate profiles is free, with no time limit. You need a paid plan only when you want to message a surrogate directly.

Often, yes. Independent matching can avoid an agency coordination fee of around $20,000–$45,000. The trade-off is that intended parents take on more of the screening, matching, and coordination themselves. See our Cost Estimator and independent surrogacy cost breakdown.

There's no set timeline. Some intended parents find a surrogate within a few months, while others take longer depending on location, arrangement type, and preferences. Browse surrogate profiles to get started.

Look for alignment on values, location, communication style, and the relationship you want during and after pregnancy.

Yes. FindSurrogate can be used alongside an agency, allowing intended parents to expand their search while continuing to work with their agency.

No. Your intended-parent profile is only visible to registered members, and you control exactly what information is shared before any contact is made.

Once you and a surrogate decide to work together, you discuss expectations and compensation, then begin medical screening and legal agreements with your own professionals. FindSurrogate provides the platform to connect, while your clinic and attorneys handle the medical and legal steps from there.
