Why Us?
About Surrogate Alternatives
Our agency has been THE pioneer egg donation and surrogacy agency in San Diego County, since 1998. We have worked with over 5,000 couples globally and have had the privilege of being a part of the birth of over 3,500 babies. Our surrogates & egg donors are criminally screened prior to acceptance as well as medically and psychologically screened after they are matched. The professionals involved in your arrangement are trained in this specialized field, which helps to ensure a smooth journey and the ability to make sure all of your rights as a parent are protected in every way. We are one of the few agencies that offer profiles of available surrogate mothers at no-charge to our clients.
Potential surrogates who apply through our program go through an initial prescreening process in-person or through Skype if they are not local to our office as well as an in-depth phone consultation to see if she would be a good candidate for our program. The surrogates we accept (45% of all that apply) are financially stable women who have had easy, enjoyable, uncomplicated pregnancies and deliveries.
Miracles DO happen and we strive to make that miracle happen for you! Life is precious and with the help of the caring, compassionate women that are a part of our program, you too can hold that child you so longingly desire in your arms.
Contact us today for a free no-obligation consultation and to receive profiles of our available surrogates. We NEVER have a waiting list for you to be matched with a surrogate and since your time is precious, we work hard to make sure you have a baby as soon as possible.

The practice of Psychology
“The strongest endorsement I can make of an agency is that I trust them with my reputation. It’s the most valuable professional asset. I can’t risk tarnishing that hard won reputation by associating myself with an agency that is not themselves are well respected. I elect to partner only with agencies who I believe work as hard as I do in helping to turn your dreams of a family into reality-an agency that shows compassion and support for prospective parents, donors, and surrogates-an agency like Surrogate Alternatives. I trust them with my reputation. You can trust them with your dreams.”
