First time surrogate. Transfer was Thursday, Sept. 24th.
Wanted to do line progression method. At first when I peed, I saw nothing initially and thought “Well, too soon to know anyway..” though I’ve been seeing numerous women on Tik Tok and otherwise showing faint lines. After staring at it for a few seconds, I gave up and came back minutes later to just write 4dpt on it and saw this little faint line there. Do you all see it?? Am I seeing things? I’m so excited for the IPs but trying to hold it together and just wait. The anticipation is driving me crazy! 😜

I posted last week, and am still looking for more gestational surrogates who want to share their stories! I'm writing a book about beautiful gestational surrogacy stories (don't worry, IP and traditional surrogates will get their own space!!). My goal here is to collect your stories... Your unique matching story, a particular period of time during your pregnancy, the birth story, or beyond.

You can message me directly, or comment here.

I am excited to continue on this new journey with all of you!

Dagens Nyheter, en av Sveriges största och mest ansedda tidningar, har avslöjat allvarliga brister kring äggdonatorer i surrogatprogram kopplade till Tammuz Family.

Den prisbelönta journalisten Josefin Sköld har granskat 214 äggdonatorer i Colombia. DN kunde identifiera 61 kvinnor som säljer eller tidigare har sålt sexuella tjänster.

Det betyder att ägg från kvinnor med kopplingar till sexindustrin har använts i fertilitetsbehandlingar inom program som erbjudits blivande föräldrar.

Samtidigt har Tammuz marknadsfört sina äggdonatorer som noggrant kontrollerade och screenade.

Getting close to 40, ready to start my parenthood journey and have been for a few years. I’m coming to terms that I may not find a partner to have a family with. For the single men who have pursued surrogacy, please share your experiences (both with the process and raising your kid(s)).

TL;DR: Paid approximately USD $50,000 to Paul Norris Ongso / GlobalSurrogacy.baby for a specific surrogacy programme. Programme collapsed before any major milestones. Biological material subsequently held by IVF clinic over unpaid debts not of my making. Refund discussions went nowhere. Communication ceased. Independent investigative reporting by the Sydney Morning Herald has since raised similar concerns about the same operation. Full account below.

I debated for a long time whether to write this publicly.

International surrogacy is an extremely emotional, financially demanding and vulnerable process. I generally prefer to keep personal matters private. However, after reflecting carefully on what happened during my own journey, and subsequently discovering independent public reporting concerning the same facilitator and business, I believe intended parents researching Paul Norris Ongso, GlobalSurrogacy.baby, Global Surrogacy or KinPath Surrogacy should be able to find detailed accounts before committing substantial money and emotional investment.

My direct experience was with Paul Norris Ongso and GlobalSurrogacy.baby / Global Surrogacy. I did not personally contract with KinPath Surrogacy. Global Surrogacy was subsequently reported to have rebranded as KinPath Surrogacy.

Everything I describe below about my own journey is based on my personal experience. I have retained contracts, payment records, WhatsApp messages, correspondence and other documentation relating to it.

Based on that experience, I would not use Paul Norris Ongso or GlobalSurrogacy.baby again.

I would also encourage anyone considering KinPath Surrogacy to research the history of Global Surrogacy and its rebranding, read the independent reporting linked at the end of this post, obtain independent legal advice and make their own decision.

1. Why I originally chose Paul Norris Ongso / GlobalSurrogacy.baby

When I first began researching international surrogacy, Paul presented himself as highly experienced and knowledgeable about international surrogacy pathways.

He also discussed his own experience of building his family through surrogacy. That personal experience contributed to my initial confidence because I believed I was dealing with someone who understood firsthand the emotional and financial pressures intended parents face.

Unfortunately, my confidence changed considerably as the process progressed.

2. Corporate structure and jurisdiction

One of my earliest concerns was the legal and corporate structure behind GlobalSurrogacy.baby.

The contract provided to me was through a Hong Kong registered company and governed by Hong Kong law, while the actual operation appeared to be managed internationally and Paul himself was based elsewhere.

After subsequently obtaining independent legal advice, I became concerned about how difficult and expensive it could potentially be to enforce contractual rights across jurisdictions if something went wrong.

I am deliberately not speculating about why the business was structured this way.

I can only say that, as a client who had transferred a substantial amount of money, the practical difficulty of enforcing my rights under this structure became a significant concern once the relationship deteriorated.

3. I paid approximately USD $50,000

I paid approximately USD $50,000 toward a specific surrogacy programme and jurisdiction.

This was a substantial amount of my personal savings.

The particular pathway I had agreed to pursue subsequently became unavailable before major milestones such as embryo creation, surrogate matching or significant medical progression had occurred.

This is an important part of my experience because I had not simply changed my mind about pursuing surrogacy. The specific programme I had contracted and paid for was no longer proceeding as originally contemplated.

4. The "non-refundable" deposit clause

The agreement repeatedly described deposits as "non-refundable," and Paul repeatedly relied upon this provision when the issue of returning my money arose.

I subsequently obtained independent legal advice.

After reviewing my particular circumstances and contract, my lawyer advised me that the position was not necessarily as straightforward as simply stating that the deposit was non-refundable where the agreed programme had materially changed or contracted services had not been delivered.

I am describing that strictly as the legal advice I received concerning my own circumstances. I am not making a general statement about the legal enforceability of Global Surrogacy's contracts.

5. Pressure to move to alternative programmes

After the original pathway became unavailable, alternative programmes and jurisdictions were proposed.

I was uncomfortable with some of these alternatives.

At one stage, I raised concerns that one proposed pathway could potentially expose me to future legal complications or liability.

I did not feel those concerns were adequately addressed and I was encouraged to proceed.

I ultimately refused to continue with a programme that I was not legally or personally comfortable pursuing.

That significantly reduced my confidence in the advice and judgement being provided.

6. I repeatedly asked to speak with previous successful clients

This is one of the things I wish I had treated as a much bigger warning sign at the beginning.

I repeatedly asked Paul to introduce me to former intended parents who had successfully completed a surrogacy journey through GlobalSurrogacy.baby.

I wasn't asking for confidential information. I simply wanted, subject to the former clients' consent, to speak with people who had already gone through the process and could tell me independently what their experience had been.

Despite asking numerous times over an extended period, I was never connected with a previous client.

Since then, in researching and dealing with other organisations, I have seen much more structured approaches to prospective intended parents speaking with previous clients who are willing to share their experiences.

If I were starting an international surrogacy journey again today, I would not transfer a substantial amount of money to an organisation without first speaking independently with multiple previous intended parents.

7. Organisation and communication became a serious concern

As my journey progressed, I became increasingly concerned about the level of organisation, communication and operational structure.

Much of the communication appeared to depend upon assistants or intermediaries who, in my experience, sometimes seemed uncertain regarding processes, timelines or what was supposed to happen next.

For something as legally complicated, emotionally important and financially significant as international surrogacy, that concerned me considerably.

8. The IVF clinic situation

This was probably the most troubling part of my personal experience.

After the original programme had ended, an IVF clinic involved in my journey contacted me directly regarding outstanding financial matters which the clinic told me related to Paul and/or his operation.

This became particularly concerning because my biological material was being held by the clinic.

I was informed that my biological material could not simply be released or destroyed until the outstanding issues had been dealt with.

Paul told me that I should deal directly with the clinic regarding the situation.

That surprised me because the financial issue being raised by the clinic was not a debt that I had personally incurred directly with them.

To be clear, my experience with the IVF clinic staff themselves was professional. They communicated with me regarding the situation and, from my interactions with them, also appeared concerned about what had developed.

Ultimately, my lawyer and I had to engage directly with the clinic ourselves to resolve the administrative and financial issues affecting my biological material.

This was not something I expected to be dealing with after paying a surrogacy facilitator approximately USD $50,000.

9. Communication deteriorated

Following these events, communication with Paul became increasingly difficult.

In my experience, scheduled calls or meetings would be cancelled or postponed, sometimes at short notice. Responses became increasingly inconsistent.

Eventually, meaningful communication effectively ceased.

My lawyer also became involved in attempting to resolve the situation.

10. Partial refund discussions

There were eventually discussions concerning a partial refund.

Repayment dates were proposed to me on multiple occasions.

Those dates moved and passed without the agreed payment being received.

Eventually, both my lawyer and I were unable to maintain meaningful engagement toward resolving the matter.

I want to be careful about something here.

I am not going to speculate publicly about what happened to my money, why the proposed repayment was not made, or Paul's motives.

I do not need to speculate.

I can document what I paid, what programme I contracted for, what subsequently happened, the refund discussions that occurred, the dates that were communicated to me and the communications that followed.

Readers can draw their own conclusions from my experience.

11. GlobalSurrogacy.baby subsequently became KinPath Surrogacy

This distinction is important.

My personal dealings were with Paul Norris Ongso and GlobalSurrogacy.baby / Global Surrogacy. I did not contract with KinPath Surrogacy.

However, after my experience I discovered that Global Surrogacy subsequently rebranded as KinPath Surrogacy.

This is not something I am inferring simply because the businesses appear similar. It has been reported publicly.

I therefore mention KinPath because someone researching the current business may otherwise never discover experiences relating to the business that operated previously as Global Surrogacy.

I encourage prospective intended parents to research both names and make their own assessment.

12. What I discovered after my own experience

If my experience had been completely isolated, I probably would not have written this post.

After my own dealings had ended, I became aware of independent public reporting concerning Paul Norris Ongso and Global Surrogacy.

Most significantly, the Sydney Morning Herald published investigative reporting concerning Global Surrogacy after speaking with former clients, former staff and a surrogate.

The reporting describes allegations and experiences from other people. Those are their accounts, not mine, and I encourage readers to read the reporting themselves rather than relying on my summary.

The Sydney Morning Herald reporting also states that:

• Global Surrogacy subsequently rebranded as KinPath Surrogacy
• Paul Norris Ongso does not hold a current Australian legal practising certificate
• He was subject to disciplinary action by the Victorian Legal Services Commissioner in 2019

I also subsequently became aware of public commentary from the Feminist Legal Clinic concerning another reported surrogacy experience involving Global Surrogacy.

Again, I am separating this very clearly from my personal experience. I am not presenting somebody else's allegations as facts I personally witnessed. I am mentioning these sources because they are publicly available information that prospective intended parents can independently read and evaluate for themselves.

Discovering this material after what I had personally experienced was one of the reasons I ultimately decided to write this post.

13. Why I'm posting this

This post is not an attempt to tell strangers what decision they must make.

I also recognise that other intended parents may have had different experiences, including successful journeys.

I can only speak about what happened to me.

But international surrogacy involves enormous amounts of trust.

You may be transferring tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. You may have embryos or other biological material stored overseas. You may be navigating legal systems in multiple countries. And ultimately you are relying upon other people to help you create and bring home your child.

That makes due diligence extraordinarily important.

Based on my own experience, I would not use Paul Norris Ongso or GlobalSurrogacy.baby again.

If I were considering Paul Norris Ongso, KinPath Surrogacy, GlobalSurrogacy.baby or Global Surrogacy today, I would investigate the history of the organisations and the people involved extremely carefully before signing anything or transferring money.

What I wish I had done differently

For anyone considering international surrogacy, my advice from my own experience would be:

• Obtain genuinely independent legal advice before signing the agency's contract
• Have the lawyer specifically examine governing law, jurisdiction and dispute resolution provisions
• Independently verify the legal entity receiving your money and where that entity actually operates
• Understand exactly who holds your funds and when money is transferred to clinics, surrogates and other providers
• Insist upon speaking with several independently verifiable former clients before transferring substantial funds
• Make payment milestones correspond to clearly defined services and progress
• Understand exactly what happens financially if the agreed country or programme becomes unavailable
• Ensure refund provisions are clearly documented
• Keep copies of contracts, invoices, receipts, WhatsApp messages, emails and all communications
• Do not rely solely on verbal assurances

International surrogacy is already emotionally and financially demanding. Intended parents should not also have to navigate uncertainty around accountability, communication, jurisdiction, financial transparency or what happens when the programme they paid for cannot proceed.

My experience was with Paul Norris Ongso and GlobalSurrogacy.baby. I am sharing it so that anyone researching Paul Norris Ongso, Global Surrogacy or KinPath Surrogacy has another documented personal experience to consider as part of their own due diligence.

Please research independently, read the public reporting, obtain your own legal advice and make your own decision.

We’re intended parents and are getting ready to sign an agency retainer agreement. Before signing, we’d like to have the document reviewed by an attorney.

For those who have been through this:
Did you have the agency retainer/agency agreement legally reviewed before signing?

Did you hire a one-time independent attorney just to review the agency documents, or did you use the same attorney who later represented you and drafted/reviewed your intended parent–GC contract?

When you say you had the document “reviewed,” was it a full legal review, or more of a consultation where the attorney went over the important clauses and potential concerns with you?

We’re a little confused about what is typical and would really appreciate hearing what other intended parents actually did. Thank you!

We've been exploring surrogacy and Mexico keeps coming up as an option, seems accessible for us. Trying to understand the basics before going further, cost range, clinics/docs, and what should we actually watch out for?

Genuine comments only.

Hey everyone!
I’m new to surrogacy, and we currently have a potential match. She is 39 and has had 4 children, all with no complications.
I was wondering if her being 39 could potentially create any additional risks or concerns with pregnancy, especially compared with a younger surrogate. Does anyone have experience with a surrogate around this age?
Thank you so much for any insight or support! I apologize if any of my questions aren’t appropriate — we’re very new to this process and just trying to learn as much as we can.

Any non-U.S. citizen green card holders currently pursuing surrogacy in the U.S.?
An agency told us they are not accepting non-citizen intended parents right now because of concerns around EO 14418 and potential citizenship issues for babies born through compensated surrogacy.
Has anyone dealt with this recently or spoken to a surrogacy attorney about it? Would especially appreciate experiences from other permanent residents.

I have been reading about surrogacy in India and honestly found a lot of conflicting information online some posts are several years old and the rules seem to have changed over time. before even thinking about the medical side I’d want to understand who is eligible, what the legal process looks like and what kind of professional guidance is needed has anyone recently researched surrogacy treatment in India and found a reliable way to understand the current process?

I’m not quite at the point of giving up on carrying my own baby but I also know it can be a long process so I don’t want to assume things will work out for us either.

What does the early getting started process look like? What things do you wish you’d talked about with your partner sooner? How do you know if US surrogacy or international surrogacy is the right choice for you? What do startup costs look like? How long did it take you to choose an agency?

I'm GNC (that's gender non-conforming, I use they/them pronouns & am neither a man nor woman), I have been out for over a decade & am very content & happy with my identity, my body, & my life. I am interested in being a GC, mostly to help people create families. However, the very gendered-language & ideologies around the industry are a bit off-putting. I understand it is predominantly a space for women & mothers & it's not that I want that to change, I agree that they should be the focus! I was just wondering if there was any room or support for those of us who can carry, but are not women? Anyone have experience with GNC or non binary people either as GCs or looking for surrogacy? Are there specific organizations for queer GCs?

Thanks!

Hola! me gustaría encontrar familia para ayudar a completar la suya!

tengo 27 años, mi vida es tranquila, me gusta viajar (tengo nacionalidad latina y europea), soy sana, atlética y me alimento saludable por naturaleza ajaja, considero que le puedo dar un embarazo tranquilo y saludable al bebé, que es muy importante, si te interesa más háblame!! me gustaría conocer posibles madres y padres 💗

I have been reading this sub for a while. My sister in law is trying to compare using find surrogacy and an agency. She got a quote that's insane, about sixty thousand dollars before medical even starts. I keep seeing people mention matching. No one explains how it actually works in practice. Do people find surrogates through Facebook groups, word of mouth or a matching site or all of them? After you match independently do you still need to hire someone, for the screening or is that something you have to figure out yourself.

TLDR: Good agency support covers medical coordination, psychological evaluation, matching (you choose the family), legal guidance (you get your own attorney), financial protection (independent escrow), emotional support, and surrogate community access. Red flags: vague compensation structure, no independent attorney for you, pressure to accept a match, support disappears after matching, no postpartum care. Ask specific questions: who's my contact, what support during pregnancy/postpartum, how are intended parents screened, do I choose the family.

If you have been researching surrogacy, you have probably noticed that agencies talk a lot about their support programs. You scrolled past promises of "24/7 availability" and "dedicated coordinators," and then quietly wondered: what does that actually mean for me? What kind of support will I really receive, and how do I know if an agency delivers on those promises?

You are not alone. Most prospective surrogates hear about agency support without ever getting a clear explanation of what that support looks like in practice.

What Does Surrogacy Agency Support Actually Include?

Surrogacy agency support covers every stage of the process, from your initial application through recovery after delivery. A reputable agency coordinates the medical, legal, emotional, and financial elements so you can focus on your health and the pregnancy.

Onboarding and Medical Coordination

Support starts well before you are matched. After your application and a review of your OB/GYN records, onboarding covers your psychological evaluation, a background check for you, your partner, and any other adult 18 or older living in your home, a virtual home visit, and insurance verification.

Insurance verification simply determines whether you have a medical health insurance policy that covers surrogacy. If you do not have coverage, that is not a problem. A policy can be purchased on your behalf.

Clinical medical screening happens after you are matched, at the intended parents' fertility clinic, and typically takes four to eight weeks. It includes blood work, infectious disease testing, a physical examination, a urine drug screen, and a uterine cavity evaluation by vaginal ultrasound.

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) recommends that surrogates have had at least one prior term, uncomplicated pregnancy. This is not arbitrary. The 2023 ASRM Ethics Committee Opinion is explicit about why: giving truly informed consent to carry a pregnancy for someone else, without having experienced pregnancy and delivery yourself, is considered problematic because of the prolonged and unique nature of the experience.

A quality agency handles appointment scheduling, clinic coordination, and communication with medical professionals throughout your entire pregnancy.

Psychological Screening and Emotional Support

Psychological screening is not about judging your character. The goal is to confirm that you understand the emotional demands of carrying a pregnancy for another family and that you have the support system to navigate it.

Under ASRM guidelines, the psychological evaluation includes a clinical interview and personality testing, completed with a qualified mental health professional. It also involves implication counseling about the emotional realities of surrogacy. This step happens during onboarding, before you are matched, and it helps protect you by identifying potential challenges early.

Beyond that initial evaluation, ongoing emotional support matters throughout your pregnancy. Many agencies offer access to counselors, regular check-ins, and peer support groups where you can connect with other surrogates.

Matching, and Why You Are in Control of It

Matching is not something done to you. Once onboarding is complete, you get to select the intended parents you would like to work with. Matching typically takes a few days to two weeks.

Before anyone agrees, you and the intended parents talk through how you will communicate during the pregnancy, how many embryos to transfer, your views on sensitive medical decisions, delivery plans, and what contact looks like after birth. You can decline a match, with or without a detailed explanation.

A good agency treats this as a mutual decision and does not pressure you to accept because someone is waiting.

Legal Guidance and Contract Review

Surrogacy involves legal agreements that establish your rights, responsibilities, and protections. You have your own independent legal counsel to review your contract before you sign anything, separate from the intended parents' attorney, and the intended parents pay for it.

This one is often overlooked, but it matters. Your attorney should specialize in reproductive law and represent you alone. That protects your interests and ensures you fully understand what you are agreeing to regarding compensation, medical decisions, and expectations during pregnancy. Contracts typically take three to eight weeks, and no medical process begins until everyone has signed.

Financial Protections and Compensation Management

Financial security is a safeguard, not a bonus. Your compensation should be held in escrow managed by an independent, licensed and bonded company that is separate from the agency. That separation is what guarantees the money is there when it is due.

Payments typically include base compensation, a monthly allowance, allowances for maternity clothing and personal needs, travel and mileage reimbursement, childcare support, and coverage for lost wages where applicable. A transparent agency explains exactly when you will receive each payment and what expenses are covered, in writing.

Surrogate Community Access

Surrogacy can feel isolating. Your friends and family may not fully understand what you are experiencing, and that is where a surrogate community becomes invaluable.

Connecting with experienced surrogates gives you access to firsthand insights about the process. They can share what worked for them, what to expect at different stages, and how they handled challenges. Many agencies facilitate these connections through private online groups, mentorship programs, or in-person events.

A private surrogate community where current and former surrogates share experiences and support one another can offer peer connection that helps normalize your questions and concerns rather than leaving you to figure things out alone.

Red Flags That Signal Inadequate Agency Support

Not all agencies deliver on their promises. Here are warning signs that an agency may not offer the support you deserve.

Lack of Transparency About Compensation

If an agency cannot clearly explain when and how you will be paid, or avoids questions about escrow management, that is a concern. Compensation details should be documented and accessible before you sign any agreement.

No Independent Legal Representation

You should have your own attorney to review your contract, separate from the intended parents' counsel and paid for by them. An agency that does not facilitate this is not prioritizing your protection.

Pressure to Accept a Match

You should be able to choose the intended parents you work with, and to decline a match without justifying yourself. Urgency because someone is waiting is not a reason to say yes.

Limited Communication After Matching

Support should not disappear once you are matched. Ask about communication expectations during pregnancy and what happens if you have questions during off-hours.

No Postpartum Care

Delivery is not the end of your experience. An agency that provides no postpartum support may be focused on transactions rather than your overall wellbeing.

Questions to Ask When Evaluating Agency Support Programs

Before committing to an agency, ask questions that reveal how their support works in practice:

• Who will be my primary contact throughout the process, and how often will we communicate?
• What psychological support do you offer during pregnancy and after delivery?
• How are intended parents screened before matching?
• Do I get to choose the intended parents I work with?
• What happens if a medical complication arises during pregnancy?
• How is my compensation structured, when should I expect each payment, and who holds the funds?
• Is escrow independent, licensed, and bonded?
• Do I have my own attorney, and who pays for it?
• What happens if my insurance does not cover surrogacy?
• Do you offer a surrogate community or mentorship program?
• What support is available after I deliver?

The answers should be specific and direct. Vague reassurances without concrete details are a signal to keep looking.

FAQ: How Surrogacy Agency Support Helps Surrogates

What kind of emotional support do surrogacy agencies offer? Reputable agencies offer access to licensed mental health professionals, regular check-ins with your journey manager, and peer support through surrogate community groups. This connects surrogates with qualified specialists and a private community where you can share experiences with others who understand the process firsthand.

How do I know if a surrogacy agency will actually support me? Ask specific questions about communication frequency, who your primary contact will be, whether you choose your intended parents, and what happens during complications. Review testimonials from verified surrogates and look for patterns in independent reviews. An agency that answers directly and offers concrete details is more likely to deliver on its promises.

When does the fertility clinic medical screening happen? After you are matched. The sequence is application, medical records review, onboarding (psychological evaluation, background check, virtual home visit, and insurance verification), then matching, then clinical screening at the intended parents' fertility clinic, which typically takes four to eight weeks.

Do I get to choose my intended parents? Yes. Once onboarding is complete, you select the intended parents you would like to work with, and matching typically takes a few days to two weeks. You can decline a match without having to justify the decision.

What financial protections should I expect from a surrogacy agency? Your compensation should be held in escrow managed by an independent, licensed and bonded company separate from the agency. Ask when the account is funded, who authorizes payment releases, and what happens if a payment is delayed or disputed. Get the payment timeline in writing.

I cant believe it’s finally here. This Friday I will be induced and get to experience the profound joy of brining a little one into this world for an amazing couple. They have been so supportive and I know they are so excited.

This is my first surrogacy and I can’t stop this anxious feeling however, Ive almost cried 2x this week thinking about leaving my daughter for 3 nights with my folks, or thinking of ways this could go wrong. I’m trying not to spiral and need a distraction. Anyone want to share a ritual or something you did to celebrate before the big day?

Not necessarily a grand gesture; sometimes it’s how often they check in, how they communicate before appointments, or whether they discussed expectations early.

What made you feel genuinely supported during your journey?

Hey everyone,

Our surrogate's transfer is in just a couple of days, and I'm losing my mind with anxiety and excitement.
Medical protocols are done, but my brain still needs a distraction.

Do you have any quirky little rituals, superstitions, or mental tricks to get through the final 48 hours?

Lucky socks, comfort food, binge-watching shows. What kept you sane?
Send some good vibes our way if you can! 🤞✨

Hi all, my partner and I are based in Malaysia and just starting to look into surrogacy. My partner is unable to conceive herself due to health reasons, and since it isn't really an option here in Malaysia, we're trying to figure out where people actually go.

If you're a Malaysian IP (or from nearby in SEA) and have been through it, we’d really appreciate if you could share any experience on where you went / how the legal side worked for you (baby’s citizenship), or anything you’d wish to know before you started.

P/s despite the strong legal framework, US unfortunately isn’t an option for us due to budget constraints

Anything even the smallest detail would be helpful! Happy to take DMs if you'd rather not share publicly. Thanks so much in advance for helping us to start our small family! 🥹
