The Numbers Behind Giving Tree Surrogacy
Choosing an agency shouldn't require taking claims on faith. Here's what the data actually shows, explained in plain terms — and why each number matters to your decision.
Journey Outcomes
Statistic | What It Means |
|---|---|
98% surrogacy success rate | 98% of intended parents bring home a baby within 3 embryo transfers; 93% succeed within just 1–2 transfers. |
99% match meeting success rate | 99% of first conversations between an intended parent and a surrogate candidate lead to a successful, continuing match — not a breakdown or restart. |
66% surrogate return rate | The share of surrogates who choose to carry for a second (or further) journey with Giving Tree after completing one. A strong return rate signals a genuinely positive experience, not just willingness to tolerate the process once. |
Why this matters: a success rate alone doesn't tell you much without knowing how it's measured. "98% within 3 transfers" is a meaningfully different (and more honest) claim than an unqualified "98% success rate" — it tells you the realistic range of what to expect, not just a headline number.
Screening Rigor
Statistic | What It Means |
|---|---|
Only 1–2% of surrogate applicants are accepted into the pool | Candidates undergo a rigorous evaluation process, including application reviews, medical history assessments, interviews, psychological pre-screening, and background checks before being considered for matching. |
95% of surrogates pre-approved by IVF clinics during matching | Once a surrogate reaches the matching stage, 95% are independently confirmed as medically suitable by the intended parents' own fertility clinic — a second, external check beyond Giving Tree's own screening. |
90% of surrogates medically cleared after screening | 90% of surrogate candidates pass full medical clearance and are ready to proceed directly to the legal stage, without delays caused by medical disqualification later in the process. |
Why this matters: these three figures show how Giving Tree's screening process combines selective applicant acceptance with independent IVF clinic evaluations and medical clearance, helping intended parents move forward with greater confidence.
Scale & Experience
Statistic | What It Means |
|---|---|
Founded in 2015 | Giving Tree has been operating as a surrogacy and egg donation agency for over 10 years — achieving solid experience and a successful process. |
1,000+ families supported | A meaningful volume of completed journeys, not a handful of success stories — relevant context for how repeatable the agency's outcomes actually are. |
200+ screened egg donors in the database | A substantial, pre-vetted donor pool, reducing how long a family may need to search before finding the right match. |
2–5 new ready-to-match surrogates added weekly | The surrogate pool is actively growing on an ongoing basis, not a static list that intended parents compete over. |
50+ years of combined staff experience as former surrogates, donors, and intended parents | Much of the team has lived this process themselves, not just studied it, enhancing their ability to anticipate what a family or surrogate actually needs at each stage. |
Program Cost
Cost isn't one number — it depends on which program fits your situation, and each one trades off differently between flexibility and predictability.
Program | Cost | What It Means for You |
|---|---|---|
Standard Surrogacy Program
| $149,500 | The most streamlined path if you already have embryos. Covers surrogate compensation and benefits, non-medical screening, legal costs, agency fees, and escrow management — but costs can shift somewhat as your specific journey unfolds. |
Family Forward Guarantee™ (Fixed Cost) | $180,000 | The predictable option: one price, agreed before you start, plus a short surrogate match time, and contractual Baby Guarantee that refunds your agency fee if the journey doesn't result in a baby. You know your full financial exposure on day one — no mid-journey surprises, no open-ended risk. |
3-Step Family Forward Concierge (Egg Donation + Surrogacy) | $185,000 | For intended parents who need an egg donor as well as a surrogate — one coordinated program instead of managing egg donation and surrogacy as two separate processes with two separate price tags. |
Egg Donation Program | $24,000+ | For intended parents who need an egg donor, our egg donor program offers an egg donor database filled with hundreds of bright, young women, and guided support from our experienced team. |
Why this matters: a lower sticker price isn't automatically the better choice. The Standard Program can cost less in a straightforward journey, but offers no protection if something doesn't go as planned. The Family Forward Guarantee™ costs more upfront specifically because it converts that uncertainty into a fixed number — you're paying for predictability and a worst-case safety net, not just the service itself. Which tradeoff makes sense depends on how much that certainty is worth to you.
Every journey with Giving Tree Surrogacy is rooted in the same five principles: human care, one team from start to finish, rigorous screening, financial clarity, and clear guidance at every step.
Reviews
A 4.9 rating across 97+ Google reviews reflects real client experiences, not marketing copy. Review volume matters here too — a high rating from a handful of reviews is easy to dismiss; a high rating sustained across nearly 100 is harder to argue with.
