At EDSI, we’re introducing a new way to match: AI-powered surrogacy matching.
The Matching Compass™ is designed to connect intended parents and surrogates
more meaningfully using both emotional insight and smart data.
Our technology helps improve
match quality while saving time and supporting safer, more transparent
decisions for everyone involved.
At the Egg Donor & Surrogacy Institute (EDSI), we guide intended parents through every step of the surrogacy or egg donation process. With decades of experience, our team provides personalized support, expert matching, and full coordination of legal and medical services. We understand how important this journey is, and we are committed to making it clear, supportive, and stress-free.
From your first consultation to welcoming your baby, each stage is handled with compassion and professionalism. You’ll receive ongoing emotional support, guidance on next steps, and regular updates to keep you informed and empowered throughout the process. Our proven track record makes EDSI a trusted choice for individuals and couples seeking to grow their families through third-party reproduction.
To begin your journey, schedule a free consultation with our experienced team. We’ll walk you through the surrogacy process or help you explore available egg donor options. You can ask questions, discuss your goals, and better understand what to expect at each stage.
If you’re searching for an egg donor, you can register for free and browse our database of fully screened candidates. Registration allows you to save preferences, shortlist donors, and even reserve a match without any upfront cost or commitment. This makes it easier to find the right donor and move forward with confidence.
“Intended Parents” is a term used in the context of Surrogacy and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). It refers to individuals or couples who seek to have a child through Surrogacy, meaning they intend to become the legal parents of the child. There are several scenarios in which intended parents might pursue Surrogacy:
In Gestational Surrogacy arrangements, the intended parents typically provide the genetic material (sperm and/or egg), and the surrogate carries the pregnancy to term. After the child is born, the intended parents become the legal parents, either through pre-birth orders, adoption, or other legal processes, depending on the jurisdiction.
Couples facing infertility may turn to surrogacy after other treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF) have failed.
Same-Sex couples, for instance, may use an egg donor and/or a surrogate to have a biological child.
Single men or women who wish to have a biological child may opt for surrogacy to achieve parenthood.
Certain medical conditions make pregnancy impossible or dangerously risky for a woman, such as absence or malformation of the womb, recurrent pregnancy loss, or severe heart disease.
Surrogacy can allow parents to avoid passing certain genetic conditions to their children if the surrogate is implanted with an embryo that has been genetically screened. Surrogacy provides a way for people to build their families when other methods are not feasible or preferable.
Connect with our experienced team to discuss your goals, ask questions, and learn exactly how the surrogacy or egg donation process works. This first step is about clarity, comfort, and getting to know you.
