• How many years of experience do you have in matching surrogates with intended parents?

• Who are the team members that I would be working with and what is their experience?

• Is there a lawyer on this team and if not, who will be our lawyer for the surrogacy contract?

• How do your find possible surrogates and what does the screening process consist of?

• How long does it take to find a surrogate?

• What kind of relationship will the carrier want to have with us after birth and do we have any obligation to keep up a relationship?

• What differentiates you from other surrogacy agencies? 

Obviously, this list is just a general guideline of what kinds of questions you should be asking before deciding on a specific agency. It is important to go into detail and get all your concerns addressed before making this decision. Working alongside the right agency can make a significant difference during your surrogacy journey.
