This important step in the process allows you the opportunity to identify additional matching preferences to create the most ideal scenario for your family building experience. At this time, we will also assess your Intended Parent profile and provide tips for areas of improvement.

Surrogate Screening

Thorough Surrogate Screening

Project Management

High-Touch Project Management

Each surrogacy journey is carefully managed utilizing a very sophisticated and proprietary method. Your dedicated Care Team navigates the project flow to coincide with the unique circumstances of your timeline and Surrogate match. Golden tracks every step of the process to ensure tasks are executed in a methodical and efficient time-frame.

Care Team Support

24/7 Access
You don’t need to pay for a VIP program to have the dedicated access and support you deserve. At Golden every Intended Parent and Surrogate is provided with the email address, direct line, and cell phone number for every member of their Care Team. Golden understands that a surrogacy journey is not a Monday-Friday, 9-5 process. Please feel free to call or email us when it is convenient for you, even outside of standard business hours; this is what we do!
Seamless Service
Each journey is reviewed with your Care Team by agency leadership on a weekly basis. Intended Parents and Surrogates may contact any team member, at any time and receive an accurate and timely answer. The entire team is always 100% knowledgeable regarding the intimate details of your journey. You will never be placed on hold or told, “I don’t know.”

Expert Attorney Referral

Golden will make a custom referral, based on where your Surrogate resides, to an expert third-party reproductive attorney. Surrogates are also provided a referral to independent legal counsel for representation and legal review. We have a trusted network of attorneys who have shown consistently favorable results over the years. Golden only works with the absolute best.

State Licensed
All Golden legal referrals must be reproductive law attorneys, specializing in the field of third-party reproduction, and licensed in the state where your Surrogate resides and plans to give birth.

Unlike many other agencies, Golden requires that your attorney be licensed in the state where your Surrogate resides and plans to give birth. The contract which will set forth the terms of the entire surrogacy arrangement with her must be written to comply with laws of that state. This is crucially important when filing for the parentage paperwork, and for enforceability purposes.

In some instances, a court appearance may be required, and we feel that it is best-practice to have your in-person legal representation at those appearances coincide with the original drafting attorney to maintain consistency. Our process ensures that your surrogacy contract is always written by an attorney who completely understands the laws of the state in which they formulate an agreement to govern.
Independent Legal Representation
To avoid any potential conflict of interest, legal referrals made by Golden are to independent attorneys and law firms that are separate business entities non-related to Golden Surrogacy LLC in any financial or business way. This ensures the accuracy and impartiality of all legal advice given. Intended Parents and Surrogates are also not required to retain the services of the legal referrals provided by Golden.

3rd Party Escrow Setup

First and foremost, your escrow funds are safe and insured! Golden refers Intended Parents to an independent escrow company that specializes in Trust Account Management Services for third-party reproductive arrangements. Funds are maintained and distributed in accordance with the highest level of fiduciary and ethical standards. All compensation payments and reimbursement requests related to your Surrogate are carefully distributed as per the guidelines outlined in your contract. Your Care Team works closely with the escrow company to monitor all transactions for accuracy.

Utilizing an independent firm eliminates the potential conflict of interest that arises when a surrogacy agency is holding escrow funds while also representing all parties to the reproductive arrangement.

Every provider on our referral list has successfully collaborated with Golden on multiple journeys over the years.
