Fraud alert He put us in touch with a surrogacy company in Colombia, but when that surrogacy refused to attempt implantation of one of my wife’s genetically normal but low quality embryos, we asked to be set up with another clinic. At that point he stopped responding to emails and did not return phone calls. There were issues along the way that seemed scammy. Despite displaying credit card logos on his emails, he asked us to wire funds to his account. He claimed his POS was not working. We discovered he had other people do this as well. He was able to provide credit card services eventually once we pressed him that we simply didn’t have time to walk into a branch office nor were we comfortable sending money without insurance. After weeks of no responses, and an unfulfilled contract, we reported to Better Business Bureau for investigation.

He has been extremely helpful and knowledgable in guiding me through this surrogacy process.

great surrogacy service Sensible surrogacy service is so great. The pregnancy went smoothly and having Bill as consultant along the way provides a lot of insights and assurance. I definitely recommend sensible surrogacy for any intended parents who is considering surrogacy.

A Fantastic Agency I couldn't have been happier with Sensible Surrogacy. Bill and Trish were both wonderful throughout the entire process--basically holding our hands through each step. My husband and I are so grateful for their significant time and effort and now have a beautiful four month old son because of it. I would recommend them without hesitation.

A wonderfully positive and rewarding experience... My wife and I have been trying to have a child for the past several years before attempting IVF. After a couple more years of health complications arising from the egg retrieval, we finally decided to look into a gestational surrogate to carry one of our frozen embryos. I came across Sensible Surrogacy while reading about our options and their blog was very useful in understanding our options. Bill was patient in answering all of my questions and we decided to proceed with pursuing surrogacy in Ukraine. Bill got us in touch with an agency there (Lev at Didilia). Lev guided us regarding the documents that were needed to establish a contract and got us in touch with a clinic there that would perform the embryo transfer. Bill also got us in touch with a medical courier who was very professional in transporting our embryos to the clinic in Ukraine. Lev helped us find a surrogate who we were happy with. Everything seemed to move smoothly after that. The embryo was transferred and resulted in a positive pregnancy in the first attempt. We received regular reports about the surrogate's health and living environment which helped us feel reassured. The surrogate was also very accommodating and careful with her health. Few months later we were traveling to Ukraine for the birth of our child. The baby came 2 weeks earlier than the due date mentioned on the ultrasound report. Luckily we had reached Ukraine two days before that. Lev helped us get situated in the hospital room for a couple of days after the birth and collected the necessary documents for processing the baby's US citizenship. Three weeks after our US embassy appointment, we had our baby's passport in hand and flew back home the next day. Lev even gifted us some Ukrainian souvenirs which was a nice touch. Overall, the process was very smooth and positive. Few tips to help future intended parents...(1) The DNA kit needed for the US embassy appointment can be ordered even before the child is born. If we had done this, we could have saved an additional week in processing the paperwork. (2) The language was more of a barrier than we expected. Using the Google Translate app's conversation mode can be helpful. (3) Uber was very convenient to use considering the language barrier and was economical as well. (4) We booked our accommodation through booking.com which allowed free cancellations. It would have been better to have several week-long bookings instead of a long one like we did. We could have found a better deal if we had waited for Lev to provide us with options.
