  • With over two decades of experience and a team of former surrogates with firsthand expertise, we blend professionalism with loving care and understanding. Our focus is on ethical practices, transparency, and individualized care to facilitate safe, supported journeys for surrogates and intended parents alike.

  • An agency like The Genesis Group guides you through the entire process from start to finish. We handle legal, medical, and financial details, coordinate appointments, ensure timely reimbursements, and support clear communication between all parties so you can focus on a healthy, positive pregnancy. While some experienced carriers may complete an independent journey, a reputable agency can leverage their expertise to handle any unforeseen situations, act as the support system between both you and your intended family, and set you up for a successful journey.

  • The surrogacy journey occurs in a few phases:

    • Preliminary screening: We conduct a one-on-one consultation, background check, psychological evaluation, and home visit. These steps ensure you will have a high chance of approval by our agency and an IVF clinic.

    • Profile Building: You will also create a profile alongside our team complete with health information, personality questions, requested compensation, and journey preferences.

    • Matching: Once complete, your profile is shared with intended parents who align with your preferences. When a parent or couple is interested, we facilitate a meeting and confirm a match if you mutually agree to move forward.

    • Medical screening: Conducted at your intended parents’ IVF clinic after a match, they will review your health history and current benchmarks to approve you for a safe journey.

    • Legal contracts: At this stage, you and your match will review and sign legal agreements with our help.

    • IVF & transfer: Once cleared, you begin fertility medications and follow the transfer calendar prescribed by your IVF clinic. We’ll be here to coordinate travel, give advice, and help you every step of the way!

  • At our agency, you set your desired compensation at whatever amount you are comfortable with. Genesis Surrogates can receive a baseline of $60,000 from their successful journey up to $100,000+ depending on match, location, and other various factors.

  • Once your profile and records are complete, matching can take anywhere from a few days to six weeks. We always have intended parents waiting for a match, so many approved surrogates see instant requests.

    “If you are looking for an actual support system and not just an agency that helps you with paperwork, monthly payments and check-ins once a month for updates with appointments, this is the place to be. As a surrogate, what I love is the fact that these women actually take the time to form a personal relationship with you. I don't feel dispensable or just a business transaction. As a surrogate who has worked with a large agency prior, they have definitely set the bar for how an agency should treat their surrogates.”

During my experience as a surrogate I felt like the staff at Genesis all really enjoy what they do and enjoy working for the company. I felt like I was in great hands and everything was easy to navigate because of all the support I got along the way. I know that some agencies seem to favor the intended parents over the surrogates, but I felt valued and respected the entire time.”
