The Surrogacy Space

Building Families: The Essential Role of Surrogacy and Egg Donation Agencies

April 16, 2025

Surrogacy and egg donation agencies play a pivotal role in the journey of building families. These agencies provide comprehensive services that facilitate the process of surrogacy and egg donation, ensuring that intended parents, surrogates, and egg donors are supported throughout the entire process.

On the podcast “The Surrogacy Space,” I interviewed Family Source Consultants’ (FSC) CEO and Founder, Staci Swiderski. With over two decades of experience in third-party reproduction, Staci has been a prominent figure in the field of reproductive medicine. Staci’s journey into this field is deeply personal. She is a former intended mother who welcomed her son via gestational surrogacy in 2005. Additionally, she has been an egg donor twice, helping other families achieve their dreams of parenthood. Her personal experiences have fueled her passion and commitment to helping others build their families.

Staci and I discussed the wide range of services that surrogacy and egg donation agencies offer, which are designed to meet the unique needs of each client. These services typically include:

  • Gestational Surrogacy: Agencies specialize in matching intended parents with gestational surrogates. They manage the entire surrogacy process, ensuring that all legal, medical, and emotional aspects are handled efficiently and effectively.
  • Egg Donation: Agencies assist in matching intended parents with suitable egg donors. They oversee all elements of the egg donation process, from initial matching to the completion of medical procedures.
  • Comprehensive Support: Throughout the surrogacy and egg donation journeys, agencies provide extensive support and guidance. This includes legal, medical, and psychological assistance, as well as educational resources such as webinars, blogs, and support groups.
  • International Coordination: Many agencies work with clients globally, offering services in multiple languages to accommodate international intended parents. This ensures that clients from different countries receive the support they need.

Consultations: Agencies often provide free consultations to help prospective parents understand the surrogacy and egg donation processes. These consultations are crucial for helping individuals decide if these options are right for them.

The mission of surrogacy and egg donation agencies is to facilitate the creation of families through ethical and compassionate practices. By offering a structured and supportive environment, these agencies empower intended parents, surrogates, and egg donors to collaborate effectively, ensuring a positive experience for all involved.
