We work with Baby guarantee!
Even with careful screening and a 98% success rate, no surrogacy agency can promise a baby with certainty. The process depends on biology, not just process.
A journey can end without a birth for reasons like a surrogate's pregnancy not progressing to term, repeated failed embryo transfers, a medical disqualification that surfaces mid-journey, or a surrogate needing to withdraw for personal or health reasons.
When that happens, families are usually left facing both the emotional loss and the financial one, agency fees already paid, with no baby to show for them. That's the gap is what the Baby Guarantee™ is built to close.
Our Baby Guarantee:
Choose the Family Forward Guarantee™ or the Concierge Egg Donation & Surrogacy program, and if your journey doesn't result in a baby, we refund our agency fee. Full stop. It's written into your contract, not a marketing line.
We also offer a variety of plans and options to suit different needs and situations:
-
We have the Maple program for those with budget constraints.
-
We offer programs that are not all-inclusive for those who prefer to take a more active role in managing their day.
-
We also offer ways to purchase only the specific services you need.
Why Choose the Giving Tree's Family Forward Guarantee™?
Faster Matching
While many agencies require Intended Parents to wait 12–24 months or longer for a surrogate match, we focus on proactive surrogate recruitment and efficient matching. Because when building a family, time matters.
Financial Protection
Our Fixed-Cost Program provides a transparent pricing structure, no surprise costs, and predictable financial planning from the start — so you can focus on the journey, not the budget.
Unlimited Rematches
If a surrogate cannot proceed due to medical reasons or voluntary withdrawal, we provide unlimited free rematches.
Baby Guarantee
If your journey does not result in a baby after embryo transfer attempts within the program terms, your agency fee is refunded.
