Pacific Surrogacy & Egg Donation, Inc., also known as PSED, is a for-profit, full-service surrogacy and egg donation agency based in Tarzana, in the Los Angeles area of California. It is an active company that works with intended parents and gestational carriers, and it also runs an egg donor program alongside its surrogacy services.
According to the agency, its work covers the full arc of a journey: screening and matching intended parents with egg donors and gestational carriers, then managing the process through IVF, pregnancy, delivery and post-delivery follow-up. Intended parents working with PSED are supported by a coordinator dedicated to them; the agency's team page names an Intended Parent Manager-Coordinator who, it says, has worked in the surrogacy and egg donation field since 2009.
PSED works with LGBTQ+ intended parents and with single people building families, in addition to couples. It maintains an online donor portal for prospective egg donors and lists weekday office hours, reflecting a small-office operation rather than a large national organization.
Surrogates applying to the program are generally expected to be between 21 and 42 and to have had at least one prior pregnancy; the full eligibility criteria, along with available information on fees and compensation, appear in the tables further down this page. The agency does not publish a detailed fee schedule, so figures are discussed directly with prospective clients.
One point worth keeping straight when reading about PSED: it is a separate company from a similarly named agency based in Irvine, California, and the two organizations are not affiliated.

View on Google (opens in a new tab)The surrogacy process was explained to us step by step in a clear and thorough manner, and you’re provided with a checklist of the individual steps so you know right from the start what the approximate costs will be. Throughout the process, they repeatedly remind you not to forget any details. Overall, we can only say that the support provided for the surrogacy process was highly professional. Many thanks also to the staff, who always answered our questions competently and promptly. We were well taken care of throughout.
View on Google (opens in a new tab)I wanted to become a surrogate and after many agencies, I determine that PSED was the best choice. The staff is kind, caring, you can feel the love and understanding. I had so many questions, and they not only answered them but took their time to explain it. The staff is so friendly, very professional. I meet an awsome blossom (IP) intended parents thru this agency. Best decision ever. Even when I don't catch them on time they always call me back as soon as they can.
