You should check us. Here is how.
Ask any agency to put its standards in writing and to show you who it is. Here are ours.
What we hold ourselves to.
- Agreements before treatment. Every agreement is prepared by our barrister and explained to everyone before signing.
- All legal work handled by our barrister. One barrister handles the legal side for the whole program.
- Anonymous or known — your choice. We run both kinds of program.
- Costs you can read. An itemised breakdown, with fixed and estimated lines marked, before you commit.
- Consent at every stage, and the right to say no.
- Honest about outcomes. We never promise a pregnancy or a live birth. If something goes wrong, you hear it from us first.
Check us before you pay anyone.

What to ask any agency
- Who are you? The registered company name and number, and an office you can visit or call.
- Who does the legal work? The name of the lawyer, and whether you can check he or she is enrolled with the Nigerian Bar Association.
- Which clinic and which doctors? Ask how the clinic is registered and who is responsible for the surrogate and for you.
- Can I read the contract and the costs first? Before any payment. Show them to anyone you like.
- Can I talk to a past client? Be careful with testimonials that cannot be traced to a real person.
We will answer every one of these in writing, and send you the agreement and the costs before you pay anything.

- Citizenship and travel documents are described as “not your worry”.
- Anyone guarantees a baby.
- You are pressured to pay quickly or to decide on the first call.
