ABOUT US
Here at Surrogacy by Faith, we pride ourselves in providing amazing surrogates.
There are strict qualifying guidelines to become a surrogate. Part of the qualifying process is a home visit (if you are local to southern California) or a few Skype sessions. During that time we share the process, timeline expectations and really get to know each other. This is a very important part of the process when making sure the surrogate lives a harmonious, stress-free lifestyle.
We believe it is of the utmost importance to become friends with the surrogate so she feels comfortable throughout the journey.
This is not an “I’ve matched you, now I’m out of here!” kind of agency. Our friendships last far beyond the end of the journey. To ensure our surrogates are ready to be matched, they must pass our home visit or Skype sessions, background check and a drug test before their profile is viewable.
What We Do
Here is just a glimpse into our screening process which includes but is not limited to application, profile, phone and video consults, criminal background check, drug testing, pregnancy/delivery record review, insurance policy review, financial review and psychological evaluation of the surrogate and spouse (if applicable).
We enjoy the time we spend getting to know the surrogate and her family. We share the process, timeline expectations and really get to know each other. This is a very important part of the process when making sure the surrogate lives a harmonious, stress-free lifestyle.
If you have more questions, feel free to give us a call. God bless you in your pursuit to becoming a Surrogate Mother!

Did you know that our Gestational Surrogates are NOT biologically related to the baby? Husbands, you can take a sigh of relief! We do not allow Traditional Surrogacy which is where the surrogate is also the biological mother. Most of our couples do use their own egg and sperm to create their embryos however, some come to us because reproduction is the reason for their infertility. In this scenario, a donor would be used. None the less, with the egg and sperm, an embryo is created.
We require all our intended Parents (lP’s) to do the Pre-lmplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) prior to freezing their embryos. The PGS tests the genetics of the embryo, so we can be confident there are no abnormalities. This helps us reduce the chances of a failed transfer or early miscarriage. The process we use to achieve pregnancy is called In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).
