What is Alcea Surrogacy’s Match Wait-Time?

We fully recognize that surrogacy isn’t the first choice for many. It is a difficult decision, and we are grateful to those (both surrogates and intended parents) that choose Alcea surrogacy to embark on this journey with them. One of the most common questions we get from both surrogates and intended parents is “how soon can you match me?” 

Alcea Surrogacy: 90% First Meeting Match rate! 

Our process starts with an intentional understanding of what you’re looking for in a pre-match meeting, followed by a video call with the suggested surrogate & intended parent pair. All of our surrogates are pre-approved by a maternal fetal medicine doctor prior to an introduction to intended parent. We have a 90% (first meet) match rate, and our current wait time is approximately 4 months. We understand the importance of time and strive to create a meaningful match experience for both surrogates and your intended parents.  

Here’s what sets us apart: 

  • Ideal Matching Process: Our meticulous screening goes beyond basic qualifications. We intentionally prioritize compatibility and maternal-fetal medicine approval. We ensure surrogates are paired with intended parents who share the same values and receive the support of a maternal-fetal medicine specialist to move forward with a surrogacy journey. 
  • Transparency You Can Trust: Alcea offers ultimate transparency with no hidden costs and a decidedly different pricing model with no upfront fee prior to match. The first agency fee isn’t collected until after a match agreement is signed and our surrogate compensation fees are paid out in milestones throughout the journey, ensuring surrogates are fairly compensated for their time and commitment. 

 

Matching: Were More Than Just an Agency, We’re Your Partner 

Alcea focuses on creating the right match for both surrogates and intended parents with a dedicated case manager for intended parents and a separate case manager for surrogates. Each client’s dedicated resource helps facilitate the match meeting and post-meeting follow-up to answer any questions about journey expectations. 

We never want an intended parent to feel desperate nor want a surrogate to feel obligated to agree to a match. Intended parents who work with Alcea feel empowered to communicate if they do not feel confident with their first match. There is no risk and no required financial commitment until after a match is made. Intended parents can rest easy knowing an alternative candidate will be presented expeditiously on the rare occasion that a first match isn’t “the one”.  

Post-Match: We’re Still Here With You 

Once a match is made, we take a comprehensive approach to handling every detail so you can focus on fostering a positive relationship with your match. Here’s how we ensure your peace of mind: 

  • End-to-End Coordination: From initial inquiries to post-partum support, we’ll be there every step of the way. 
  • Travel Arrangements: If travel is required, we’ll coordinate the cost of travel for surrogates upfront and support travel needs for intended parents for a stress-free experience. 
  • Clinic Coordination: We’ll serve as your liaison with the fertility clinic, ensuring clear communication and seamless coordination. 
  • Social Work Support: We offer comprehensive social work support to address any emotional or social concerns you may have throughout your journey.
