SoCal Surrogacy, Inc., which operates as SoCal Surrogacy, is a for-profit third-party reproduction agency based in Tustin, in Orange County, California. It is owner-operated and describes itself as a boutique, "exclusive niche" practice, meaning intended parents and surrogates work closely with a small operation rather than a large staff.
The agency is owned by Sandi Robledo, who on the official website describes herself as a three-time surrogate with more than 16 years of experience in the field. That background is part of how the agency presents itself: someone who has been a gestational carrier guiding others through the same process.
SoCal Surrogacy works as a full-service agency, matching intended parents with gestational carriers and coordinating the journey from match through the steps that follow. It does not run an in-house egg donor program; when donor eggs are part of a family's plan, the agency refers out to egg donor agencies. Fees are not published, and pricing is handled by quote.
Surrogate eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship, a no-smoking policy, and parenting at least one child currently in the home; those criteria, along with compensation and other program details on file, appear in the tables below.
Among public reviews, several surrogates describe working directly with the owner throughout their journey rather than being passed between different coordinators, and point to the small size of the agency as central to that experience. Some of these accounts appear as testimonials on the agency's own website.

View on Google (opens in a new tab)My experience with SoCal Surrogacy has been nothing but great. As a first time surrogate I was nervous but Sandi has been very informative and amazing throughout the whole process. If I could give them a 10 star I would!
View on Google (opens in a new tab)Sandi is absolutely amazing and attentive. She has made my journey as smooth as possible and promptly gets back to any questions I have. I have been looking for an agency since 2016 and honestly, none of them compare to the passion and professionalism that Sandi has exhibited. The dedication that Sandi has for her surrogates is unmatched. She has kept me in the loop through every step and minor detail. I’m glad I waited to start my journey until I found this agency. She doesn’t rush you or make you feel like a simple business transaction. She takes the time to make you feel comfortable and find the perfect match for you. If you’re looking into becoming a surrogate, I highly recommend So Cal Surrogacy!
View on Google (opens in a new tab)I've been a surrogate twice now with SoCal Surrogacy and both times were nothing less than absolutely amazing. This is a small boutique agency so I didn't have a bunch of coordinators tossing me around to one another anytime I needed something which was a big concern of mine when I was first shopping around for an agency in 2018. The owner is prompt, responsive, friendly, and professional and happily goes out of her way to take care of her surrogates. I was kept up to date and informed about every detail for the entirety of both of my journeys with this agency. Matching was very thorough, all my bills were paid on time, my base pay and all allowances were deposited promptly. My second journey even started in 2020 during the beginning of Covid which obviously presented some obstacles but Sandi made sure everything went as smoothly as it possibly could have during the pandemic. I absolutely, highly recommend SoCal Surrogacy to anyone shopping around for their first journey. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
