2.3 How to Research a Surrogacy Agency: Avoiding Misleading Reviews & Finding Reliable Insights

When researching a surrogacy agency, online resources such as Facebook groups, surrogacy forums, and support networks can provide useful insights. However, not all reviews are trustworthy. Some may be biased, misleading, or even fake, influenced by personal emotions, marketing efforts, or isolated negative experiences.

If you're considering becoming a surrogate mother, it's crucial to distinguish genuine experiences from misinformation. Here's how to critically evaluate reviews and make an informed decision.

How to Spot and Avoid Misleading Reviews

Not all online reviews provide accurate reflections of a surrogate agency's quality. Here are key steps to identify trustworthy feedback while avoiding bias.

Look for patterns, not single opinions – One bad review doesn’t mean an agency is unreliable, and one glowing review doesn’t guarantee quality. Focus on consistent feedback across multiple sources.
Check for bias – Some negative reviews come from emotional frustration, while overly positive ones may be influenced by marketing efforts. Be mindful of who is posting and why their opinion matters.
Engage with different sources – Instead of relying only on public posts, reach out to people who have personally gone through the process. Ask open-ended questions to understand their experience beyond just praise or complaints.
Consider the agency’s response – A professional agency acknowledges concerns, improves over time, and is transparent about their processes.

Connecting with Experienced Surrogates for Guidance

One of the best ways to get genuine insights is by speaking with experienced surrogates who have worked with the agency. Many surrogates are willing to share their first-hand experiences, including what went well and what could have been better. If an agency allows you to connect with their past surrogates, it’s a good sign of transparency.

Evaluating an Agency Beyond Reviews

A well-established agency will have a mix of positive and negative reviews, as no agency is perfect. What matters most is whether they learn, adapt, and improve over time. An agency that listens to feedback and makes changes is far more reliable than one that only focuses on maintaining a perfect image.

By combining online research with direct conversations and critical thinking, you can make a more informed decision and avoid being misled by biased marketing or isolated personal experiences.
