The surrogacy journey represents hope, dreams, and the promise of finally holding your baby. But for many intended parents, excitement comes with worry: “What if something goes wrong? What if our surrogate changes her mind? What if we run out of embryos?”
These concerns are natural, and they’re exactly why choosing the right surrogacy agency matters more than you might realize.
Our structured programs mean you don’t have to navigate these uncertainties alone. We’ve designed our Foundation and Limited Risk Programs to protect your investment, your timeline, and your peace of mind through comprehensive screening, unlimited re-matching, and built-in refund protections.

Is There Surrogacy Agency Support for Unexpected Journey Complications?
Yes there is! This support can make the difference between a successful journey and a devastating financial loss.
Many intended parents assume that surrogacy complications are rare enough that they don’t need to worry about protection. The reality is that while serious complications aren’t common, they do happen.
Failed embryo transfers, surrogates who can’t continue their journey, medical complications, and legal challenges can all derail an unprotected surrogacy arrangement.
That’s where our experience makes all the difference. With decades of expertise, proven protocols, and comprehensive financial protections, we ensure you never have to navigate complications on your own.
What Are Unexpected Complications that Might Occur During Surrogacy?
Understanding potential complications helps you prepare and shows you why professional agency support matters.
- Embryo Transfer Challenges: Not every embryo transfer results in pregnancy. While IVF success rates continue to improve, some intended parents face multiple failed transfers, depleting their embryo supply faster than expected.
- Surrogate-Related Issues: Sometimes a surrogate who seemed perfect during initial meetings realizes she can’t continue the journey. This might happen due to medical complications discovered during screening, family circumstances, or simply changing her mind about moving forward.
- Medical Complications During Pregnancy: Pregnancy complications can affect both the baby’s health and the surrogate’s ability to continue. While these situations are carefully managed by medical professionals, they can impact timelines and require additional support.
- Legal and Contractual Challenges: Surrogacy laws vary by state, and navigating surrogacy contracts and legal requirements can become complex if unexpected situations arise.
These complications, while challenging, are not impossible when you have the right support system. At American Surrogacy, we have successfully helped thousands of families navigate unexpected challenges over our years of experience.
How Pre-Screening Protects Intended Parents
The best way to handle surrogacy complications is to prevent them. That’s where comprehensive pre-screening becomes your most valuable protection.
At American Surrogacy, we maintain rigorous screening standards for potential surrogates. Our multi-step process evaluates medical history, psychological readiness, financial stability, and personal circumstances long before any matching occurs.
We only work with highly-qualified surrogates who have demonstrated their commitment to the surrogacy process. We make sure that every surrogate who enters our program is prepared for the journey ahead.
How Pre-Screening Protects Your Time
Time matters when you’re building your family. Every delayed match, every failed arrangement, every restart adds months to your wait.
Our comprehensive surrogate screening process allows for quick, confident matching because the hard work of verification happens upfront.
Instead of spending weeks or months getting to know a potential surrogate only to discover she isn’t ready, you’re matched with women who have already proven their readiness.
This pre-screening approach significantly reduces failed matching attempts, helping you become a parent faster than you might with agencies that skip thorough vetting.
How Pre-Screening Protects Your Money
Every failed match costs money, sometimes significant amounts. When a surrogate arrangement falls through after contracts are signed, legal fees are paid, and medical preparations have begun, those costs add up quickly.
By ensuring surrogates are fully screened before matching, American Surrogacy dramatically reduces the likelihood of costly false starts. You’re not paying for legal work, medical procedures, and administrative costs multiple times due to inadequate screening.
Our pre-screening investment protects your financial investment throughout your entire journey.
Our Surrogacy Programs with Payment Protection
At American Surrogacy, we offer two programs specifically designed with built-in financial protection: our Foundation Program and Limited Risk Program. Both programs are built around protecting intended parents from the unexpected.
Unlimited Matching: Your Journey Won’t End If a Match Falls Through
Our Limited Risk Program includes unlimited matching at no extra cost if a surrogate backs out or can’t move forward with the arrangement.
Think about what this means: If your first match doesn’t work out for any reason, you don’t start over financially. You don’t pay additional matching fees. You don’t worry about whether you can afford to try again. Our full-service programs ensure that a single setback doesn’t end your journey to parenthood.
This unlimited matching protection provides peace of mind knowing that you’re covered no matter how many attempts it takes to find the right surrogate for your family.
Protect Your Journey to Parenthood with Our Limited Risk Program
Refund Protections: What Happens If You Run Out of Embryos
Both our Limited Risk Program and Foundation Program include refund protections if your journey is unsuccessful and you have no embryos remaining.
This protection acknowledges a difficult reality: sometimes, despite everyone’s best efforts, a surrogacy journey doesn’t result in a baby. While this outcome is rare, it happens. When it does, you shouldn’t face complete financial loss on top of emotional disappointment.
Our refund protections ensure that if you’ve exhausted your embryos without achieving pregnancy, you’ll receive a significant portion of your program fees back. This financial protection can help you explore other family-building options or restart your surrogacy journey when you’re ready.

Protecting Families During the SEAM Breach
Our commitment to protecting intended parents extends beyond our standard program protections. When the SEAM breach occurred affecting trust account funds across multiple agencies, we went above and beyond contractual obligations.
We safeguard our clients’ funds by paying from our own reserves, ensuring that intended parents don’t suffer financial losses due to circumstances outside their control. We are committed to protecting the families we serve.
With decades of experience successfully managing client financing between our two agencies, we have proven that we’ll stand behind our intended parents when unexpected industry challenges arise.
Why Working With an Agency is Safer Than Going Independent
The protections offered by professional agencies like ours simply don’t exist in independent surrogacy arrangements, and the financial risks can be devastating.
Independent surrogacy might seem more affordable upfront, but consider what you’re risking:
- No professional screening: You’re responsible for evaluating a surrogate’s medical, psychological, and financial readiness entirely on your own.
- No backup plans: If your arrangement falls through, you start completely over with no support system.
- No financial protection: Every dollar spent is at risk if complications arise.
- Legal vulnerability: Without professional guidance, you might miss critical legal protections.
Even if you’ve already found a potential surrogate independently, our Independent Program allows you to continue your journey with professional guidance and safety measures in place.
The question isn’t whether you can handle surrogacy independently. It’s whether you should take on unnecessary risks when professional protection is available.
Finding Hope After IVF Failures
Many intended parents considering surrogacy have already experienced the heartbreak of failed IVF cycles. You might wonder whether surrogacy will just lead to more disappointment.
Here’s what you need to know: surrogacy often succeeds where traditional IVF has failed because it removes many of the factors that contributed to your previous challenges.
Gestational surrogacy allows you to use your own genetic material while bypassing potential uterine factors that may have prevented successful implantation or pregnancy maintenance.
Working with American Surrogacy means your embryos will be transferred to a thoroughly screened surrogate who has demonstrated her ability to carry pregnancies successfully.
Combined with our program protections, this significantly improves your chances of finally achieving the pregnancy you’ve been working toward.
Your IVF struggles don’t predict your surrogacy success, especially when you have professional support guiding your journey.
