Surrogate Alternatives, Inc. SAI

Where do I start? I have worked with SAI since 2011 as a surrogate. Each journey has been filled with happiness and the support of this wonderful agency. The girls who work here all have experience in the field and know the importance of balancing life with the surrogates and their intended parents. My experience has been that everything has been straight forward, and they have been open to wishes of both the surrogate and intended parents. I look forward to our monthly support groups where we can mingle with other surrogates and offer each other an ear to listen and a should to lean on. I wouldn’t work with any other agency.

I just recently delivered my 2^nd surro baby on Christmas Day. Bernadette and Ann truly matched me with the perfect couple and I couldn’t have asked for a better journey. Bernadette personally got to know me throughout my 1^st pregnancy and after delivery she found me the perfect couple for when I was ready to start my next journey. I am so thankful to have a friend like Bernadette by my side every step of the way and I am so excited to do it again in a few months to give the couple a sibling. SAI really takes care of their surrogates and provides a great support system, they make you feel comfortable and are always there to answer any questions. Amazing group of girls working there!

I contacted them regarding becoming a surrogate. I’ve been in contact with a few agencies as I wanted to see who I felt most comfortable with. I spoke with Bernadette. I felt she was really dismissive. She emailed me back and I responded with a question and she never got back to me, which was after her first initial dismissive email. If based on the initial information I gave you, you don’t think I am a good fit, then tell me. Don’t blow me off and be rude. Based on some of the «Hidden» reviews, people feel that this agency only is interested in the people that can help make them money. Based on my experience, I’d say that might be true. I am with a different agency and am already matched with a family. I had wanted to work with SAI but based on my interactions with Bernadette, I would never.

I have a whole new appreciation to give to surrogates and surrogacy as a whole because of this agency. I just gave birth to twins Nov 9, 2014 because of this agency and couldn’t be more thrilled with them all! The staff is wonderful, patient, caring, and there to help every step of the way. They make sure you get everything you deserve, and have all of the support you could ever want or need. The support group meetings are always fun and filled with food and sometimes prizes! I can’t even explain how much I love their retreats also. I was so happy with this agency and I know if anyone looking for a potential agency looks into SAI, they won’t be let down! Thank you, SAI for everything you did to help me complete a family.

I have been a Surrogate Mother three times, and I have worked with two other agencies that did not even compare to the support & knowledge that Surrogate Alternatives has. Ann Miranda matched me with a beautiful couple that I had the priveldge to carry for. Anytime I had an issue or a question, my call or email was returned immediately. I enjoyed the monthly support groups and met forever friends. I also LOVED the retreats that SAI hosted, it was a weekend full of fun and food & I enjoyed not cooking lol! Other agencies say they do retreats but the entire time I was with them, not one put one on, & my emails were not answered promptly. I loved SAI so much that I was honored I was offered employment following my surrogacy delivery. I now get to see other journeys of Surrogates & its so amazing! I love talking & meeting New Surrogate Mothers, Surrogate Mother’s are selfless, loving & caring!

I had the pleasure of working with SAI in 2008. I have always loved being pregnant & when I heard of surrogacy I knew it was something I wanted to do. These women welcomed me with open arms & made my journey as a surrogate absolutely priceless. They matched me with such a wonderful couple from Germany & was by my side every step of the way. I delivered healthy twin girls in March 2009. Ann was my main point of contact & I would not have had it any other way. She, as well as the other women, are such a pleasure to work with. And even better, they’ve been surrogates too so they can actually relate to everything you’re feeling & going through. If my doctor was ever to give me the thumbs up to be a surrogate again I wouldn’t even consider any other agency. Love all these women to the moon! I HIGHLY recommend this agency for your future family needs :-)

These ladies are amazing! I spent 3 yrs working with them and had a beautiful set of twins for an amazing couple. The agency is supportive, knowledgable and fun! Definitely reccommend to anyone! They are pros with making families!

Not sure who the person below me who reviewed is, but I doubt they truly worked with SAI. This company is incredible. I am a current surrogate with SAI and 33 weeks pregnant. Not only are the employees considerate and kind and helpful to the women applying to become a surrogate, they go out of their way to make sure that you are comfortable every step of the way. They matched me with a fantastic couple, and have been supportive through my entire journey. If you are looking for a surrogacy agency that puts the interests of the surrogate at the same weight as the families they help, this is your agency. I recommend SAI to everyone I know who has considered surrogacy.

Wonderful agency for Intended Parents and Surrogates alike. Friendly, helpful and supportive during the whole process. I have used them twice now and everything went smoothly.

This agency is amazing. Right from the start they were informative and helpful! I was quickly matched with a couple who I still to this day have a connection with. The contracts you get into are tailored to meet your needs so I don’t understand what the other reviewer was talking about. If I didn’t like something in my contract I could change it or not agree to it. SAI has helped thousands of families have babies and I am proud that I help two amazing families. The agency is also very involved and if you ever have questions you will immediately get answers. If you ever are confused about something they will help you understand it, especially when it comes to the contracts. I had a wonderful experience with this agency ! I left another agency to be with SAI due to their impeccable organization and amazing amount of support from all who work there and from all my surrogate sisters I’ve met through there! I highly recommend this agency! Thank you to SAI for making my experience and my intended parents experience amazing!

Currently on my first surro journey and I absolutely LOVE SAI! Their staff is always quick to respond to emails, or returning phone calls if I miss their office hours. Every step of the way, they have been there to guide me and help get my journey moving forward! Very surro friendly!

I have been a surrogat twice with this company. I had staff go to doctor appointment with me make sure I had everything I needed for bed rest. They make sure you are apart of something so special and that you have life long friendships in the staff and with the family’s you help.

Do not sign with them. Their agreement is extremely abusive. They have no interest in your having a baby. Only one thing matters to them: money. 100% upfront fee, 0 refund under any circumstances, etc…
Answer to SAI :
1/​I found another surrogate by my own means. She got pregnant with twins with a single transfer. So proof is here, the doctor was right to ask to switch surrogates.
2/​you call $ 1,000 discount out of $ 20,000 a «substantial discount»? Now everyone knows who you really are.
