Our specialty is finding you a surrogate who is a perfect match. We do a great deal of research and ask many questions before we analyze compatibility. After we make a match, we make sure that everybody is happy before we proceed any further. If, for some reason, you are matched with a surrogate who is later disqualified due to medical reasons, we will find you a new one at no extra cost.*

*This disqualification period is prior to embryo transfer, typically during or after receiving results post final medical screening with your Reproductive Endocrinologist.

We provide our intended parents and surrogates with custom referrals to carefully vetted lawyers who are experts in the field of surrogacy laws. We only provide referrals to lawyers who meet our stringent standards and have a proven track-record. Lawyers must be experts in Reproductive Law and be licensed in the state where the surrogate will give birth.

VIVO Surrogacy coordinates with third-party insurance professionals to arrange various types of insurance policies that are best suited for you and your surrogate.

Your Case Managers stay in regular contact with everybody involved in the care and treatment of your surrogate. This ensures that everybody is seamlessly working together and nothing falls through the cracks.

Our team organizes and arranges for all travel associated with the surrogacy.  Leave all of those details for us! 

VIVO Surrogacy works with all third-party professionals involved in your journey. We communicate closely with the IVF clinics regarding medical procedures and results. We communicate with the attorneys to ensure legal agreements are properly executed. And we coordinate care with other services that may include nutritionists, acupuncturists, doulas, support groups, and much more. 

Because surrogates require regular blood tests and ultrasounds,  VIVO Surrogacy locates medical facilities that are near the surrogate’s home. We then coordinate with the IVF clinic so that all results are promptly shared and tracked. 

Who likes dealing with insurance companies? Nobody! Leave that to us. VIVO Surrogacy ensures medical insurance coverage is properly applied to medical invoices and, should issues arise, we work with the surrogate and her insurance company so that claims are re-processed promptly and accurately. 

VIVO Surrogacy works with your chosen delivery hospital to make sure that all paperwork is properly submitted.

It seems like issues never come up during normal business hours. And that is why VIVO Surrogacy offers round-the-clock access to your dedicated Case Manager. Your Case Manager works directly with all involved parties and professionals so that intended parents and surrogates receive timely and knowledgeable responses at any time of day (including holidays!).
