OUR PHILOSOPHY

Compassion First

At the Egg Donor & Surrogacy Institute (EDSI), our compassionate surrogacy philosophy begins with listening to each family’s story.

We begin with empathy. Intended parents and surrogates are partners in something meaningful. Every phone call, every document, and every plan is shaped by mutual respect. As a result, the process feels intentional and supported.

We do not rush matches or overlook the emotional side of this journey.

Why This Philosophy Matters

We build connection by listening. Because of this approach, our compassionate surrogacy philosophy has helped hundreds of families grow.

A Thoughtful and Ethical Model

Integrity drives every decision we make. That means:

  • Transparent and secure escrow with independent providers

  • Legal contracts that protect everyone involved

  • Full support for LGBTQ+ and single parents

  • Guidance for international families navigating U.S. laws

We work only with clinics and professionals who share these values.

Personalized Matching That Works

Every family has a unique path. That is why EDSI created the Matching Compass™, our custom-built tool to pair surrogates and intended parents.

It uses data points like medical fit, personality style, and communication preferences. But the final decision is always based on real human connection.

We do not match people. We match stories.

From First Call to First Cradle

This is not a one-time transaction. Our team walks with you every step of the way.

  • Dedicated case managers

  • Mental health and emotional support

  • Legal planning and birth logistics

  • Postpartum follow-up

Whatever your path may look like, we make sure you feel supported and prepared at every stage.

Knowledge That Empowers

At EDSI, we make complex information feel clear and manageable. You will have access to:

  • Webinars, blog articles, and legal explainers

  • Personal stories from surrogates and parents

  • Step-by-step guidance designed to help you make confident decisions

When you are informed, you feel empowered—and that builds stronger families. Our compassionate surrogacy philosophy is what guides every match we make.

What makes EDSI’s philosophy different?

We combine compassion, personalization, and legal clarity. Every decision is shaped by emotional understanding and ethical responsibility.

Surrogates receive full legal protection, independent escrow for timely compensation, access to counseling, and regular check-ins before, during, and after pregnancy.

Yes. We welcome all family types and provide guidance through legal steps like pre-birth and post-birth orders, depending on state requirements.

The Matching Compass™ is our AI-supported matching system that pairs surrogates and intended parents based on compatibility, values, and communication preferences.

The earlier the better. Early planning allows time for embryo preparation, legal coordination, and readiness for matching.
