Step 3 - Matching With Intended Parents

The Third Step in Your J. Baby Surrogacy Journey

Step 3 is where everything begins to feel real. Matching With Intended Parents is one of the most exciting and meaningful moments of the surrogacy journey — the stage where you’re paired with the family whose baby you may help bring into the world.

This step is emotional, personal, and unforgettable. At J. Baby, we approach matching with care, intention, and transparency, ensuring you feel supported and confident every step of the way.

How Matching Really Works at J. Baby

Matching is never random. Behind the scenes, our team thoughtfully identifies Intended Parents whose values, preferences, and expectations align with yours. A strong match is built on trust, communication, and shared energy — and that foundation matters.

Here’s how the matching process typically unfolds:

• Careful review of both surrogate and Intended Parent profiles
• Guided virtual introductions
• Open conversations to explore expectations and connection
• Time and space to ensure the match feels right for everyone

What Happens During the Matching Process

Once a potential match is identified, you’ll move through a series of thoughtful steps designed to help everyone feel comfortable and aligned.

Reviewing Each Other’s Profiles

You and the Intended Parents will receive detailed profiles that include background information, family goals, communication preferences, and hopes for the journey ahead. This gives you a clear sense of who they are before ever meeting.

Virtual Introduction

Next comes a virtual meeting — a warm, guided conversation where you can talk openly, ask questions, and see how you connect. These meetings are relaxed and supportive, and the J. Baby team is there to help ensure the experience feels natural and comfortable.

Feeling the Right Fit

Matching is as much about intuition as it is about logistics. You should feel respected, aligned, and emotionally comfortable. If the connection feels right for everyone involved, the match is officially confirmed.

Your Comfort Comes First

There is never pressure to move forward. You can ask for time, request additional conversations, or speak privately with your J. Baby team. Your emotional clarity and comfort always come first.

Why This Step Matters

A strong match sets the tone for the entire surrogacy journey. The relationship you build with your Intended Parents can become one of the most meaningful parts of the experience.

This step helps ensure:

• You feel emotionally comfortable and respected
• Expectations around communication and involvement are aligned
• Boundaries and goals are clearly understood
• Trust is established before medical steps begin
• Everyone moves forward feeling connected and supported

Matching isn’t just a procedural step — it’s a heartfelt milestone that shapes the journey ahead.

Ready for the Next Step?

Once your match is official, you’ll move forward to Step 4 – Medical Clearance, where you’ll meet your IVF physician and begin preparing for the embryo transfer process.

Each step brings you closer to helping build a family — and we’re honored to guide you every step of the way.
