Why choose Magnolia?

Here at Magnolia, we believe in personal connections. To that end, we are located and based in Oklahoma, and we currently only recruit surrogates in Oklahoma. Our intention is to meet all of our surrogates in person prior to presenting her as a match to our clients. Face to face interaction continues as the surrogate moves along in the process in the form of monthly support group meetings and weekly interactions with her case manager.

What services do you provide?

Our services includes the following:

• Screening and introduction of qualified surrogate

• Referrals to other professionals experienced in assisted reproductive technology (ART), including attorneys, insurance brokers, escrow agents and fertility clinics 

• Case management 

• Ongoing peer counseling for surrogates

• 24-hour support services for surrogates and intended parents

What is the total cost for surrogacy?

Intended parents should expect to spend between $100,000 to $175,000 from beginning to end for their surrogacy journey. This amount fluctuates based on a variety of factors, such as if you need to create embryos, or if there are more than one transfer attempt to achieve pregnancy. Schedule your free consultation to learn more.

What is your agency fee?

Our agency fee is $25,500 USD payable in four installments.  The first installment of $500 places you on our waiting list.  This amount is refundable if you are not presented with a potential match within one year.  A second installment of $5,000 is due upon confirmation of a match.  The third installment of $10,000 is due after your selected surrogate has passed medical screening, and all parties have signed the Gestational Surrogacy Agreement (legal contract between the surrogate and intended parent).  Our last installment of $10,000 is due upon confirmation of pregnancy via fetal heartbeat.    

We offer discounts for active military and law enforcement, as well as for intended parents whose primary residence is located within the state of Oklahoma.  Inquire further to learn more about these benefits.

What is your match waiting time?

In general, you should expect to wait 6-12 months to receive your first surrogate profile.

How long does the process take?

Surrogates are usually only pregnant for nine months but the whole process from application to birth can take anywhere from eighteen months or more. There is matching wait time, screening stage, legal phase, preparations for embryo transfer, the embryo transfer, confirmation of pregnancy, the pregnancy and finally birth. At any point, there could be an unforeseen obstacle. However, rest assured – Magnolia is here to provide you any support and guidance through it all.

Do you work with intended parents from outside of Oklahoma?

Yes, while most of our surrogates are based in Oklahoma, we are proud to work with intended parents from across the United States and around the world.
