Building Families One Couple At A Time
Choosing to pursue surrogacy is a life-changing decision, and the surrogate agency you partner with will shape your entire experience. Before moving forward, it’s important to know which questions to ask and what answers to expect from a truly professional, trustworthy agency.
At Delivering Hope, we believe transparency and support are the foundation of a successful surrogacy journey. Below, we’ve outlined the top questions to ask any surrogate agency—and our answers—so you can clearly see why Delivering Hope is the premier choice for intended parents and surrogates across the country.
1. How Do You Screen Potential Surrogates?
What to Look For in an Agency:
A responsible surrogate agency should have a rigorous, multi-step screening process that ensures surrogates are physically, emotionally, and psychologically ready for the journey. This protects both intended parents and surrogates.
Delivering Hope’s Answer:
At Delivering Hope, we have one of the most thorough screening processes in the industry. Every surrogate undergoes:
- Comprehensive medical evaluations with fertility specialists.
- A detailed background check for safety and trust.
- Psychological assessments to confirm emotional readiness.
- A lifestyle and history review to ensure surrogates align with the intended parents’ values.
This rigorous process means intended parents in Spokane—and across all our locations—can move forward with complete peace of mind.
2. How Are Matches Between Surrogates and Intended Parents Made?
What to Look For in an Agency:
A great agency doesn’t just place you with the first available surrogate. Instead, they carefully consider values, communication preferences, and lifestyle to ensure compatibility.
Delivering Hope’s Answer:
Delivering Hope takes a personalized approach. We carefully match intended parents and surrogates based on shared values, expectations, and personal goals. Our team facilitates introductions and ensures both parties feel confident moving forward together.
This intentional process creates not only a working relationship, but often a lasting bond that extends beyond the baby’s birth.
3. What Kind of Legal Support Is Provided?
What to Look For in an Agency:
Surrogacy laws vary by state, and legal agreements must be clear and enforceable to protect everyone involved. Agencies should work closely with legal professionals who specialize in reproductive law.
Delivering Hope’s Answer:
Delivering Hope partners with experienced surrogacy attorneys who ensure every contract protects both intended parents and surrogates. From parentage orders to compensation agreements, our legal team ensures compliance with Washington state laws and beyond.
With us, you never have to worry about unclear agreements or legal risks—we make sure everything is transparent and secure.
4. How Does the Compensation Process Work?
What to Look For in an Agency:
Compensation should be clearly outlined, with no hidden surprises. Intended parents should understand exactly where their money goes, and surrogates should know how and when they will be paid.
Delivering Hope’s Answer:
Our compensation structure is transparent, fair, and clearly explained upfront. Surrogates receive competitive compensation packages that reflect their incredible gift, while intended parents know exactly how payments are managed.
We partner with third-party escrow companies to ensure payments are handled securely and on time, protecting everyone throughout the process.
5. What Medical Partnerships Do You Have?
What to Look For in an Agency:
Agencies should have established relationships with fertility clinics, OB-GYNs, and hospitals. This ensures smooth coordination for all medical aspects of surrogacy.
Delivering Hope’s Answer:
Delivering Hope has strong partnerships with trusted fertility clinics and medical professionals across Spokane County and nationwide. We coordinate every step of the medical process, from embryo transfer to prenatal care, so intended parents and surrogates feel supported by a full network of professionals.
6. How Do You Support Surrogates and Parents Emotionally?
What to Look For in an Agency:
Surrogacy is as much an emotional journey as it is a medical and legal one. Agencies should offer ongoing support, counseling resources, and a compassionate team available throughout the process.
Delivering Hope’s Answer:
Emotional support is at the heart of Delivering Hope’s mission. We provide:
- Access to counselors and support groups.
- Regular check-ins from our compassionate team.
- Community connections with other surrogates and families.
We’re committed to walking side by side with you—not just until the baby is born, but throughout the entire journey.
7. What Makes Your Agency Different From Others?
What to Look For in an Agency:
Every agency will claim to care, but the best ones have a proven track record, personalized care, and a reputation for excellence.
Delivering Hope’s Answer:
Delivering Hope stands out because of our personalized approach and premier reputation. We don’t just manage a process—we nurture relationships. Intended parents and surrogates in Spokane and beyond know us for:
- Our unmatched screening process.
- Personalized matching and support.
- Transparent compensation management.

Simply put, Delivering Hope is not just an agency—we are a trusted partner in creating families.
8. How Do You Handle Challenges or Unexpected Issues?
