It is so important when choosing an agency that you are comfortable with their web presence, how their program operates and their experience level. Many agencies do not have the vast knowledge needed to perform each and every step of the process with care and precision. There is no book or training manual that will teach you how to successfully operate a Surrogate and Egg Donation agency. The process is involved and complicated. Each case is unique and must be treated as such. Being a successful agency is about gaining experience, learning as you go, so always look for an agency that has been in business for at least 5 years. Talk to references that have worked with the agency, ask how their experience was, check their pregnancy statistics and ask how many people are on staff to assist you. SAI has been in the field of infertility for over15 years and in business for 13 years. We have the experience and compassion needed to see your journey through to the end. SAI will always put your interests and needs first. I am confident in our ability to deliver excellent service to each and every client we have the privilege of working with.
