NES Agency

Nappy Endings Surrogacy Agency, which also operates as NES Agency, is a small, privately run surrogacy agency headquartered in the United Kingdom, in Essex, with a United States arm based in California. It describes itself as a boutique, full-service agency, and the operation is a compact one, with roughly three people associated with it.

The agency says it is owned and run by people with extensive personal experience of surrogacy, and that it aims to use that experience to offer a personal touch on every journey for both intended parents and surrogates. Testimonials published on its own website describe the principals as closely involved throughout a journey, with one noting that the founder is a former surrogate.

On the UK side, a legal notice on the agency's site states that it provides information, peer support and referrals only, and does not negotiate commercial surrogacy arrangements. The US-facing side of the business, marketed under the NES Agency name, is the route through which its California work is presented.

As a full-service model, the program covers the core elements of a surrogacy journey, including matching between intended parents and gestational carriers, and the agency also offers an egg donor program. It works with LGBTQ+ intended parents and with clients based outside the country where a journey takes place, including international intended parents.

Basic expectations for surrogate applicants include a minimum age of 21, an upper age limit of 42, and at least one prior pregnancy; the detailed eligibility criteria, along with any available information on fees and compensation, appear in the tables below.
