What Makes Us Different?
Our Matching Services
We pride ourselves on our ability to find our intended parents and surrogates their perfect match– we get the match right the first time, over 95% of the time! When everybody involved has compatible expectations, the entire process becomes easier and more enjoyable.
Our Medical Expertise
Unlike many other surrogacy agencies, VIVO Surrogacy is run by medical reproductive clinicians with a combined 20 years of experience.
Comprehensive Screening
Our clinicians complete a thorough review of the surrogates’ medical records and initiate medical screenings. In addition, we do extensive interviewing, run DMV and criminal background checks, arrange for psychological screenings, review insurance coverage, and make sure that, in every way, surrogates meet our high standards.
Our Expedited Process
Our medical reproductive clinicians are qualified to review medical records and initiate medical screenings. This reduces the chances that a surrogate is disqualified after a match. It also means less waiting for you.
Our Team
At VIVO Surrogacy, you will work directly with our founders, both medical professionals, and experienced Case Managers. We intentionally keep our practice small so that we can personally provide our families with our focused attention and support. We are known for our diligence, compassion, and willingness to go above and beyond for our parents and surrogates.

Testimonials
My husband is active military and I'm a stay-at-home mom. We live comfortably but we really wanted to start saving more money and adding to our kids' college funds. It's hard for military spouses to find jobs sometimes because we move so much. And I also love being able to stay at home with my boys, especially because my husband can't always be around. Becoming a surrogate seemed like it could be the perfect solution and it was. I have easy pregnancies so I don't mind being pregnant, the pay is good, and I can "work" from home! What I didn't expect was how much I would come to love the family VIVO Surrogacy matched me with. We had an instant connection! Other than having my own children, being able to give them the baby they've always dreamed of is the best thing I've ever done.

My wife and I thought we could save some money and find our own surrogate. That was a disaster. We went through multiple candidates and they all fell through. It was heartbreaking and we just couldn't handle the disappointments anymore. Especially not after 3 1/2 years of failed fertility treatments. A friend in one of my wife's online forums referred her to VIVO Surrogacy. We called and almost immediately we could tell we had come to the right place. We had a list of things we wanted in a surrogate and VIVO was able to find us a match that fulfilled our criteria. We couldn't be happier with our surrogate match. An agency does add to the cost of surrogacy but, having been through it now, we can honestly say that it was worth every penny.Â

Our state doesn't allow same-sex surrogacy which is why we started looking at surrogacy agencies in California. We were instantly impressed with VIVO Surrogacy and could see that both of their founders genuinely care and are involved with their clients. VIVO worked closely with us to find our egg donor and they found us a surrogate who checked all of our boxes. We would've never found these "angels," as we call them, who helped us start our family, without the help of VIVO Surrogacy!

I started looking into being a surrogate after my co-worker did it and said it was an amazing experience. I wanted to give it a try but I was really scared that I would become too attached to the baby, even though it wasn't mine. But I learned a lot just talking to the people at VIVO Surrogacy and they helped me to talk with other surrogates so that I could decide if it was right for me. I decided to go for it and I'm glad I did. Angie knew my concerns so she checked in with me a lot to make sure I was doing well and the surrogate support group was a great source of inspiration and friendship for me. It's now coming up on 2 years since I had the twins and I love getting their pictures in the mail and watching them grow.Â
I loved working with VIVO Surrogacy and my family. I would definitely do it again!

I had always thought about becoming a surrogate but I wasn't sure the best way to go about it. I'm so glad I contacted VIVO Surrogacy. They walked me through it, found me a phenomenal family, and made sure I was always taken care of. It was a great experience and I would absolutely do it again!

VIVO Surrogacy did a great job! I really felt like they took the time to get to know us and they knew all the right questions to ask. They perfectly matched us with our surrogate, they took care of her travel arrangements, and we were happy with all of their referrals. Dr. M was very warm and reassuring and Angie has a great "can do" attitude. Our daughter is now almost 6 months and we look forward to using them again in the future!

Frequently Asked Questions
WHY CHOOSE VIVO SURROGACY AS MY SURROGACY AGENCY?
VIVO Surrogacy has a proven track-record of successful matches and we are known for our unparalleled dedication to our intended parents and surrogates. We have the resources, relationships, and expertise necessary for making the surrogacy journey streamlined and joyful for everybody involved. And you simply won’t find a better pool of surrogates to choose from-- VIVO Surrogacy only accepts 3% of our applicants into our program.
HOW DO I BECOME A PARENT THROUGH GESTATIONAL SURROGACY?
The intended mother’s egg (or a donor egg) is fertilized with the intended father’s sperm (or donated sperm) through IVF (in vitro fertilization). The resulting embryo is transplanted into the uterus of the surrogate and she carries the pregnancy to term. Once the baby is born, the intended parents receive full custody.
HOW DO YOU MATCH SURROGATES AND INTENDED PARENTS?
We truly make it our mission to get to know our surrogates and intended parents so that we can find everybody their perfect surrogacy partner. Before we initiate any introductions, we do our homework. We make sure that everybody has similar preferences and expectations for their surrogacy journey and our experienced team has a knack for finding personalities that work well together. We find the perfect fit on the first try over 95% of the time!
HOW LONG DOES THE SURROGACY PROCESS TAKE?
This can vary case to case, but most surrogates complete their journey, from application to delivery, in 18 months. However, we encourage you to prepare yourself for up to 2 years.
