Here at SPS, we’re passionate about creating high-quality matches between surrogates and intended parents (IPs) and making each client’s experience as fulfilling as possible. 

We believe that’s why over half of our surrogates choose to do another journey with SPS. In fact, we’ve had surrogates do three and even four journeys with us! 

Here’s how we support our surrogates through their journey—and what motivated three of our surrogates to do multiple journeys with us. 

We’re with you every step of the way

The health, comfort, and happiness of our clients is absolutely essential to us. From the moment you start your journey with SPS, we’ll be by your side through every step of the process. You’ll be assigned a case manager who is available to you 24/7. They support you through all fertility appointments and pregnancy milestone appointments and will be there through your labor and delivery.

As a surrogate, you’ll also attend monthly support meetings led by a licensed mental health professional, which not only helps you navigate the emotional ups and downs of the process, but also gives you a sense of community along the way.

We take matches seriously 

When matching surrogates and IPs, some surrogacy agencies give intended parents a database of prospective surrogates to scroll through. But for us, surrogates are far more than a name on a screen.

As a surrogate, you’re looking after a baby for nine months, tying you to the IP(s) in an incredibly intimate and powerful way. Our goal is to create a bond and trust between surrogates and IPs to make the experience of both parties as rewarding as possible.

We believe that the matching process should be approached with personal care and extensive experience. Our founder and president, Cristie Montgomery, personally guides the matching process, which is one of the main reasons we have had such a long history of success.

We care about our clients and love what we do

After being a surrogate herself, Cristie Montgomery was motivated to do more to help others have a child of their own. She started SPS in 1990, and since then we’ve helped bring over 920 happy, healthy babies into the world. 

We’re now considered one of the oldest and most established full-service surrogacy agencies in California. Our entire team is committed to the highest standards and to making our clients’ experience as positive as possible.

What’s more, all our case managers have been a surrogate with SPS at least once! We have an intimate understanding of this very unique experience—and this helps us provide the type of support our surrogates need and deserve.

We offer competitive benefits packages

SPS offers one of the most competitive benefits packages in California. Our packages start at $65,000 for first-time surrogates, and $75,000 for surrogates who have had at least one or more journeys. 

Our surrogates also receive $13,000 in guaranteed extras, which includes:

  • A signing bonus
  • Our exclusive pamper package to treat yourself to something special throughout the pregnancy
  • A custom health and wellness program with a physical therapist
  • A maternity clothing allowance
  • A house cleaning allowance once you are pregnant
  • And more 

What our surrogates have to say

We asked three former SPS surrogates why they did multiple journeys with us, and here is what they said:

The delivery is why I did my second journey (and the following ones). Seeing the parents have the babies they’ve been dreaming of, that they never thought they would have, the happiness and joy of it all. That’s why I instantly wanted to do another one. Even my husband said, while driving home from the hospital after my first journey, “Let’s do that again!” – Ashley

The amazing feeling that you get after the journey is over, knowing what you have done for these parents and how their lives have changed so much by being able to be parents. It is an incredible feeling, why wouldn’t you do it again? – Katie

I got to build an entire family by having all 3 of their boys!! – Daryl

Those are just some of the reasons our surrogates come back for multiple journeys. Want to hear more from our clients? Check out these reviews!
