At Ivy Surrogacy, we understand that what goes into making a match is far more complex than a checklist or a contract. A successful match is the foundation of a meaningful surrogacy journey—for both the surrogate and the intended parents. That’s why our matching process is rooted in empathy, experience, and personalized care.
💬 Values, Preferences, and Lifestyle Alignment
A strong match starts with understanding each person’s goals and preferences. We explore topics such as:
- 📱 Level of communication during the journey
- 🩺 Expectations around appointments, delivery, and post-birth contact
- ⚖️ Views on termination, reduction, and medical decisions
- 📸 Openness to sharing updates, photos, or video calls
Every surrogate is different—some value frequent interaction and building a long-term relationship, while others prefer clear boundaries and practical updates. Likewise, intended parents vary in how hands-on or private they want to be. Understanding these dynamics is a big part of what goes into making a match that lasts.
🏳️🌈 Family Structure and Intended Parent Profiles
One of the most important—yet often overlooked—parts of the match is the intended parents’ family dynamic. At Ivy Surrogacy, we work with all types of families, including:
- 👨👩👧 Heterosexual couples
- 👨❤️👨 Same-sex male couples
- 👩❤️👩 Same-sex female couples
- 👩 Single intended mothers
- 👨 Single intended fathers
Some surrogates may feel most aligned with helping a queer couple create their first family. Others may feel drawn to support a single mom, or wish to carry for a couple with similar cultural or religious values. We honor all preferences with full respect and without judgment. Matching on family structure is a core part of what goes into making a match.
🧬 Medical and Legal Compatibility
Health history matters. Our team works with medical professionals to evaluate:
- ✅ Previous pregnancies and delivery outcomes
- ✅ Surrogacy-friendliness of insurance
- ✅ State laws affecting the surrogacy contract
- ✅ Any history of complications
We also ensure that both parties live in legally compatible states. This helps the process go smoothly from contract signing through to the birth certificate.
🗺️ Geography, Logistics, and Embryo Transfer Planning
Geography plays a big role in matching. We consider:
- 🚗 Travel distance for appointments or transfer
- 📍 Whether the intended parents want to attend key moments
- 🧊 Fresh vs. frozen embryo cycles
- 🧫 Whether donor eggs or sperm are involved
Behind the scenes, we coordinate all the details so both surrogate and intended parents can focus on what truly matters—the journey.
💖 The “It Just Felt Right” Feeling
After all factors are considered, we schedule an intro video call. This moment often defines the match.
✨ One surrogate said, “I just knew they were the ones.” ✨ An intended parent told us, “She reminded me of my sister—warm, kind, and someone I instantly trusted.”
That emotional spark can’t be forced—but we know how to make the space for it to happen. And when it does, everything else clicks.
🌟 Why the Right Match Matters
When the right surrogate meets the right intended parents:
- 🤗 Everyone feels more comfortable and connected
- 💬 Communication is smoother
- 🧘 Stress is reduced for both sides
- 🎉 The journey becomes joyful—not just successful
That’s why we never rush. Because what goes into making a match truly makes all the difference.
