Fertility Alternatives, Inc. is a for-profit surrogacy and egg donation agency based in California. On its own site it describes itself as a full-service, boutique facilitation agency offering personal, confidential assistance to gestational carriers, egg donors and intended parents, and says it works alongside independent medical, legal and financial professionals rather than providing those services in-house.
The practice is small and closely held: it operates as a single-facilitator agency, and the founder is described as its sole owner and facilitator. According to the agency's information for gestational carriers, the founder is herself a two-time former gestational carrier, a background it presents as shaping how it works with surrogates.
As a facilitation agency, its role centers on recruiting and screening gestational carriers and egg donors, matching them with intended parents, and coordinating a journey with the outside physicians, attorneys and escrow or financial professionals involved. Both surrogacy and egg donation are part of its program, so intended parents working with a donor and a carrier can arrange both through the same office.
The agency publishes its fee structure, and its materials advertise a surrogate benefits and compensation range. Those figures, along with the eligibility criteria it sets for gestational carriers, appear in the tables below.
