Made in the USA Surrogacy, LLC is a for-profit, full-service surrogacy agency headquartered in Roseville, California. It was founded by Peter and Samantha Giermek, who are named as founders on the agency's website; Samantha Giermek is a former surrogate and serves as CEO, and Peter Giermek works as marketing manager. It is a small operation, with an estimated staff of around five.
The agency matches intended parents with screened gestational surrogates and coordinates the journey from the initial match through delivery. According to the agency, that includes escrow management and legal coordination alongside ongoing case management, so that the medical, financial and legal pieces of a surrogacy are handled in one place rather than assembled separately by families.
Made in the USA Surrogacy works with single intended parents and with intended parents living outside the United States, in addition to couples. On the surrogate side, it works with U.S. citizens living in states where gestational surrogacy is permitted, and applies its own screening standards around age, health, pregnancy history and smoking. Those criteria, along with compensation ranges and program fees, are set out in the tables further down this page; the agency publishes its fee information.
The business holds an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, which opened its file on the company in 2023. The agency is currently active, and its ownership has not changed hands recently.

Reviewers are largely positive, often describing communication that feels personal, attentive and responsive at every stage, from intake through delivery. Both surrogates and intended parents mention well-aligned matches, and several say they returned or plan to return for another journey. Not every experience was positive, though; some intended parents were unhappy with how disagreements over a match were handled.

Navigating surrogacy can feel daunting, but Made in the USA Surrogacy made the journey as smooth and reassuring as possible for my wife and I. Samantha is exceptional at what she does. She is on top of every detail, incredibly knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure we felt supported and ready for each stage. She matched us with an incredible surrogate and remained an attentive, reliable guide throughout the entire process. If you are looking for an agency that genuinely cares, I cannot recommend Samantha and the team enough!
