About ABC Surrogacy

Abundant Beginnings Company, which operates as ABC Surrogacy, is a privately held, full-service surrogacy agency founded in 2013 by Julie Allgood and Nicole Lawson. The agency says it is privately and independently owned and operated, and both founders remain its principals. It keeps offices in Agoura Hills, California and New York, New York, and works with a small team of roughly seven people, including intake and coordination staff, a nutritionist and a registered nurse.

As a full-service agency, ABC Surrogacy supports intended parents and gestational surrogates through each phase of the process, from matching through the pregnancy and birth. The agency says more than 150 babies have been born through its program since it opened.

It works with intended parents who are LGBTQ+, single, or living outside the United States, and it matches with surrogates who reside in the U.S. The agency is listed in the Men Having Babies Surrogacy Advisor directory and says it participates in the Men Having Babies Gay Parenting Assistance Program, at both the GPAP I and GPAP II levels, as well as the organization's MBP program.

ABC Surrogacy publishes its fee structure, and its surrogate eligibility requirements — including age, BMI, prior pregnancy history and lifestyle criteria — along with compensation ranges, are detailed in the sections below.
