EDSI (Egg Donor & Surrogacy Institute) is a leading surrogacy agency in Los Angeles. Founded in 2002, our focus is on making Surrogates as comfortable and valued as possible while also providing support for Intended Parents. We have a firm belief that everyone who wants to become a parent should do so – and that Surrogates are the most important piece of that equation.
Even so, we know this is a special gift and that Surrogates deserve compensation for their time and work. Above all, we believe that Surrogates deserve to take care of themselves at the highest levels – which is why we have opportunities to pamper yourself build into our budget.
Throughout the surrogacy journey, we recruit Egg Donors and Surrogates to match them with Intended Parents. From there, we seamlessly orchestrate the fertility journey through pregnancy and delivery. We make it a rule to be active problem solvers and advocates for our clients, making their experiences pleasant and hassle-free.
