What Should You Look for in an Agency?

Choosing your agency is an important decision.  Your agency should be able to provide the services you need (at a cost you can afford), offer referrals, and make you feel like all the details are being handled. Your agency should understand your needs, respect your wishes and desires, and advocate for good communication and a great relationship between the Surrogate and the Intended Parents.  Your agency should also know the Assisted Reproductive Technology field, be aware of resources and changing technologies, be knowledgeable about legal issues and be able to share all of that information with you!

But your agency should also offer you more. Your agency should make you feel safe and should offer a place where you can be honest - where you aren't being judged or made to feel crazy, where you can ask any question without offending someone, and your agency should listen to you and about your needs and dreams.  Your agency should understand that working through infertility and choosing surrogacy is part of a long journey that involves heart, perseverance, letting go and above all else trust.

How Does Heart to Hands Meet These Needs?

At Heart to Hands Surrogacy, we understand the beauty, joy and hardships that Surrogates and Intended Parents go through.  We understand the struggles the Surrogate experiences to meet her Intended Parents desires, the need to serve her own family, the sacrifice of sharing her life for a year or more to create someone’s child, and the joy at seeing the Parents gazing at their baby for the first time.  And we understand the difficulties Intended Parents go through just to come to surrogacy, to trust a surrogate with the most precious thing in their lives, to share control of the process, and the gratitude Intended Parents feel to their surrogate and her family.

Heart to Hands Surrogacy strives to support and nurture the relationship between Intended Parents and their surrogate, to provide balanced and fair information to the parties, and to foster a cooperative and loving relationship that will thrive during the amazing process of creating a family.

Heart to Hands has extensive personal and professional experience working with Intended Parents and Surrogates and understands that each match is different, that each family is different, and that an agency needs to encourage and advocate for these individualized needs.  The match isn't just about putting together two parties who want the same thing; it's about creating magic.  With the right match, a family can be created.  Heart to Hands will never ignore the things that are important to you, and will always do the best to find the right match (not just the quickest match) for you.
