Surrogate Angels of San Antonio

Surrogate Angels of San Antonio is a for-profit, full-service surrogacy agency based in San Antonio, Texas. It describes itself as a one-stop resource for intended parents and gestational surrogates, matching couples who are unable to carry a pregnancy with women ready to carry for them. It works with intended parents from outside the United States as well as domestic clients.

The agency was founded and is run by Cori Smelker, a former gestational surrogate, and it presents that experience as central to its approach. She has spoken about the agency in local Texas media, including a 2015 KSAT-TV interview and an appearance on KENS 5's "Great Day SA," and is the author of "Answering Hannah's Cry," a memoir about her own surrogacy experience.

It is a very small operation, effectively run by its founder rather than a large case-management team. As a full-service agency, it coordinates the surrogacy journey from matching onward, and escrow for the parties' funds is handled in-house rather than through an outside escrow company.

The agency holds an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau's San Antonio office. Further details on its BBB file, program eligibility requirements, fees and surrogate compensation appear below.
