The Yfa difference…
01.
EXTENSIVE PRE-SCREENING PROCESS
We pre-screen as much as possible to avoid disappointments later. Many agencies leave the bulk of the surrogate screening process to after a match has been made. We know your journey has had enough disappointment, so we aim to pre-screen our surrogate mothers as much as possible BEFORE they ever meet with you. Our pre-screening process includes a home visit, background check, psychological clearance test, and detailed medical records evaluation. We don’t want to waste your time or money on someone who is not the right fit!

Unique Perks and benefits
Â
We believe happy and healthy mothers grow happy and healthy babies, so we offer special perks such as our comprehensive Health & Wellness Package tailored to maximize the success of your baby’s gestation. The package includes a consult with a prenatal dietitian, doula support, and extra perks such as maternity massages or chiropractic care. Studies have shown that doula support can reduce labor 25% and the need for a cesarean section by 50%. The happiness and comfort of our surrogate mothers is extremely important to us.
