Step 1 – Getting to Know Each Other

The First Step in Your J. Baby Surrogacy Journey

Choosing to become a surrogate is a life-changing decision — one that deserves clarity, trust, and genuine connection from the very beginning. That’s why the first step of the J. Baby surrogacy process is simple but meaningful: we take time to get to know each other. This early stage sets the tone for your entire journey. It ensures you feel informed, supported, and confident before moving forward, and it gives you a clear understanding of who we are and how we care for the women who choose to partner with us.

What This Step is Really Designed To Do

Some agencies rush through intake. J. Baby doesn’t. Surrogacy is personal, emotional, and deeply relational, so this step is intentionally designed to help you:

• Understand how our boutique, family-run agency works
• Learn about the support structure you’ll have from day one
• Review your base compensation and full benefits package
• Get a clear outline of the timeline and expectations
• Ask every question on your mind — big or small
• Feel fully comfortable before committing to the next stage

Our goal is simple: you should walk away from these early conversations feeling informed, valued, and confident that you’re choosing the right agency for your journey.

What Happens During the Introductory Meetings

When you begin Step 1, you’ll meet with the J. Baby team over a few relaxed virtual conversations. These calls are warm and conversational, not clinical or rushed. Here’s what we typically cover:

Your Story & Your Why

We want to learn what inspired you to become a surrogate, what kind of journey you’re hoping for, and what you’ll need from us to feel supported.

Transparent Compensation Review

We’ll walk through your base compensation, additional benefits, and the structure that ensures you’re compensated fairly, consistently, and on time.

Your Journey Timeline

You’ll learn what the first few months look like, how matches are made, what medical review entails, and when compensation begins.

Expectations on Both Sides

This is a partnership — and partnerships thrive with communication. You’ll get a clear understanding of how we work, how often we connect, and what you can expect from the J. Baby True Concierge™ approach.

These conversations aren’t a test. They’re an opportunity for both of us to make sure it’s the right fit — and that you feel fully supported before moving forward.

Why This Step Matters

The beginning of any surrogacy journey is full of questions. By taking the time to talk openly, honestly, and at your pace, we help replace those questions with clarity and peace of mind.

This step is about building the foundation for a relationship grounded in:

• Transparency
• Respect
• Boutique-level attention
• Ethical, ASRM-aligned care
• Consistent communication
• Support from a team that truly understands your role

Once Step 1 is complete, you’ll move forward to Step 2 – Medical Records Review, where your pregnancy history is evaluated to confirm your readiness for surrogacy.
