How to Complete a Surrogacy Journey Independently

How to Find a Surrogate Without a Surrogacy Agency

One of the biggest pros of doing an independent journey is the savings on agency fees, which can be very expensive.


On the other hand, an independent journey requires a lot of work. First, the IPs and surrogates have to find each other, put in more work to manage the journey and both lose the support of an agency rep, who provides a buffer in case problems arise.
