Joyful Family Surrogacy is a for-profit surrogacy and egg donation agency that describes itself as family owned and operated. It works with intended parents and gestational carriers in the United States, and it also serves intended parents living abroad. The agency's own privacy policy identifies the registered entity behind the brand as Joyful Family International LLC, a California limited liability company.
The program is full service, meaning the agency handles a journey from start to finish rather than a single piece of it. According to its website, it matches intended parents with surrogates and coordinates the steps around that match, including screening, legal agreements, and the IVF clinic process. Egg donation is offered alongside surrogacy for intended parents who need a donor. The agency says it completes gestational surrogacies only, in which the surrogate is not genetically related to the child.
On timing, the agency says that once a surrogate has qualified, presenting profiles and making a match can take up to about three weeks.
Surrogates are expected to live in a state the agency considers surrogacy friendly, and specific eligibility criteria, including its policies on smoking and on prior cesarean deliveries, appear in the table below. The agency publishes its fee information, and compensation ranges and program costs are also summarized further down this page.
