This is the most important match you'll ever make.
Your surrogate will carry your child. She'll be part of your family's story for the rest of your lives. The relationship you build with her during those 9 months — the trust, the shared experience, the profound bond — starts with the match. It shouldn't be left to whoever's available.
We're not an agency. We're your advocate in finding the right one.
SurrogateMatch is a matching and coordination platform that sits above the agency layer. We bring together pre-screened surrogates from multiple trusted partner agencies and use AI-powered matching to pair you with the surrogates who are genuinely right for you — based on shared values, communication style, lifestyle, and the things that matter most to both of you.
Once you find your match, we introduce you to her agency — the people who will coordinate your entire journey. We don't replace them. We make sure you walk through their door already knowing who you want.
Choice, not chance
You don't browse an agency's inventory and pick someone you can live with. You tell us who you are, and we surface the surrogates across multiple agencies who genuinely fit you — and who fit your profile too.
Multilingual and international
We support seven languages. Whether you're coming from China, France, Israel, Spain, the UK, or anywhere else, you navigate your entire pre-match journey in your native language with a team that understands the cross-border process.
Faster path to a match
Because we search across agencies — not just one — your pool of compatible surrogates is dramatically larger. Most clients receive their curated shortlist within 2–4 weeks.
Both sides matter
We match on your preferences and your surrogate's. She has preferences too — about the families she works with, the kind of relationship she wants, the values that matter to her. A match where both sides feel right produces better journeys for everyone.

Your matching fee, explained
What your SurrogateMatch matching fee covers
Your SurrogateMatch matching fee is $3,000–$5,000. Here's exactly what it buys you:
- Your full preference intake and profile build (in your language)
- AI-powered matching across our entire partner agency network
- A curated shortlist of 3–5 surrogates with written fit rationale for each
- Facilitated introduction calls with surrogates you want to meet
- Warm handoff coordination to your matched surrogate's agency
- Re-matching support if your initial shortlist doesn't feel right — we work until the match is right
- A dedicated point of contact throughout the pre-match process
Your fee is due when you choose a surrogate — not when you sign up. There is no charge to consult, no charge for intake, and no charge to see your shortlist.
The right match matters for her, too.
Your surrogate is making one of the most profound commitments a human being can make. She's giving her body, her time, and a piece of her heart to help you build your family. She deserves to choose you as much as you deserve to choose her.
At SurrogateMatch, we build her preferences into the matching process. Her values about contact and relationship, her comfort with certain medical procedures, the kind of family she wants to carry for — all of it shapes the match. When she says yes, it's because she genuinely wants to be your surrogate.
This isn't just the ethical way to do it. It's the reason our journeys go better. A surrogate who chose you is a different partner than one who was simply assigned.
Your questions, answered honestly
Is SurrogateMatch an agency?
No. We are a matching and coordination platform. We don't employ surrogates, manage medical care, draft legal contracts, or hold escrow funds. When we find your match, we introduce you to her agency — experienced professionals who handle the full journey.
Do I still need an agency?
Yes. Your agency handles all medical coordination, legal contracts, escrow management, and journey support. SurrogateMatch gets you to the right agency with the right surrogate already identified. Think of us as the step before the agency.
How is this different from just contacting agencies directly?
When you contact an agency directly, you're limited to their pool. SurrogateMatch searches across multiple agencies simultaneously, giving you a broader, better-matched selection — and you don't commit to an agency until after you've chosen your surrogate.
Can I use SurrogateMatch if I'm international?
Yes — this is one of our core strengths. We support families from China, France, Spain, Israel, the UK, Portugal, and more, with native-language intake and guidance built for cross-border journeys.
What if I don't connect with any of my initial matches?
We refine your profile and search again. We don't consider the job done until you've found someone who genuinely feels right.
What does it cost to get started?
Your initial consultation is completely free. Our matching fee applies when you select a surrogate from your shortlist.
You've been waiting long enough.
