Surrogate Agency Benefits vs. Going Independent, At a Glance
Here's what changes with an agency behind you.
| With Rocky Mountain Surrogacy | Going Independent | |
|---|---|---|
| Matching with intended parents | We match you carefully. | You vet and negotiate alone. |
| Legal guidance | You get a trusted attorney referral. | You find your own attorney. |
| Ongoing support | You get a coordinator, 24/7. | You have no single point of contact. |
| Compensation protection | Your pay stays protected by contract. | Terms depend on what you negotiate. |
| Cost to you | Intended parents pay the fees. | You may bear costs on your own. |
Every benefit below traces back to one of these five differences.
Why Surrogate Agency Benefits Start With Matching
Going independent means finding intended parents on your own. You vet them. You negotiate the contract yourself. No one checks if your values match before you sign.
Rocky Mountain Surrogacy has matched surrogates since 2007. Every match looks at your communication style and values first. Paperwork comes second.
That groundwork matters. A surrogacy journey takes 12 to 24 months. A bad match is hard to fix once you're in contract.

What Screening Actually Protects You From
Screening is not a hurdle. It keeps both sides of a match safe.
Rocky Mountain Surrogacy reviews your medical history first. Your prior pregnancies matter. So does your mental health readiness.
Intended parents get screened too. This follows ASRM's gestational carrier guidelines and guidance from ACOG.
Going independent, you handle all of this alone. You often have no clinical team to guide you.
Our surrogacy screening steps page walks through your own screening in detail.
Rocky Mountain Surrogacy screens intended parents too, so you're matched with people who share your values and expectations.
Your Dedicated Coordinator and Ongoing Support
One of the clearest surrogate agency benefits is simple: one person knows your whole journey.
Your coordinator at Rocky Mountain Surrogacy is your point of contact. She stays with you from application through delivery.
She helps you talk with your intended parents. She tracks where you are in the process. She is there 24/7 for your questions about meds, appointments, or next steps.
Going independent, that job falls to you. You juggle the clinic, the intended parents, and your own research. No one ties the pieces together.
- A single coordinator who knows your journey
- Direct help communicating with your intended parents
- 24/7 access when you have a question
- Support finding outside resources if you ever need them
Built By a Surrogate, For Surrogates
Tess Hine founded Rocky Mountain Surrogacy. She was a surrogate twice herself. She also grew her family through adoption.
She built this agency around what she wished she'd had. That shapes how we treat surrogates today.
Surrogates are in short supply right now. Intended parents wait for a match. Demand is far ahead of supply.
