North American Surrogacy Center is a for-profit, full-service surrogacy agency based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The agency describes itself as boutique, keeping a limited client list so that matching and coordination can be handled personally rather than at volume.
The practice is small, and Isolina Pendergast is the operator named publicly in connection with it. The agency is closely tied to Pendergast Law Firm, also in Pittsburgh, which markets surrogacy contract work alongside the agency's services.
According to the agency, its program covers personalized matching between intended parents and surrogates along with coordination of the legal, medical, and social services that a gestational surrogacy journey involves. An egg donor program is also offered. The agency works with intended parents who are LGBTQ+, single, or living outside the United States, as well as with surrogates.
A Better Business Bureau file for the agency was opened in 2013. Eligibility requirements, fees, surrogate compensation, and licensing and BBB details appear further down this page.

Summary: Sole Yelp review, highly negative. Reviewer alleges the agency misrepresented its size and capabilities - claiming a large staff and multiple resources while, in the reviewer's account, functioning as essentially one person who brokers clients out to other agencies rather than acting as the agency itself. Also alleges negligence in vetting the program coordinators it referred the reviewer to, and characterizes the experience as deceptive, negligent, incompetent and misleading. Allegations are unadjudicated and one-sided.
