For intended parents who already have their own surrogate, Contract to Cradle provides structured coordination support to help the journey move forward with more clarity, fewer missed steps, and less overload.
When you already have your own surrogate, you may not need a full matching agency. But that does not mean the process is simple.
A known-surrogate journey can still involve multiple professionals, time-sensitive steps, major documents, financial and logistical coordination, and a long chain of decisions that are easy to lose track of.
Known-Surrogate Support is designed to help intended parents stay organized across that process — with a clear structure for timelines, provider roles, documents, follow-up, and milestone tracking.
This service is for intended parents who already have their own surrogate and want more structure than a fully DIY process — without paying for a traditional full-service agency.
A good fit if…
You are trying to manage communication, paperwork, appointments, responsibilities, and next steps without letting important details fall through the cracks.
The process is already underway — or about to begin — and you want a consistent structure to keep everything organized across a journey that involves multiple professionals and many moving deadlines.
This service does not provide surrogate matching or recruitment. It is designed for families who already have their surrogate identified.
Depending on your package, you receive a combination of the following tools and coordination deliverables.
A guided starting checklist to help organize the early phase of the journey, identify open questions, and clarify immediate next steps.
A structured roadmap showing the major phases of the journey, common checkpoints, and milestone transitions from early planning through birth preparation.
A practical framework for tracking who handles what across the journey, including clinic, legal, mental health, insurance, escrow, and other outside professionals.
A simple system for keeping important documents organized, noting what is complete or still outstanding, and tracking deadlines that matter.
Curated question lists to help intended parents prepare for conversations with clinics, attorneys, counselors, escrow professionals, and other providers.
A coordination tool for tracking open loops, pending actions, reminders, and next steps after major calls, decisions, or milestones.
A later-stage planning tool to help organize practical details around travel, communication, hospital planning, and other operational considerations.
Regular check-in calls to track progress, work through open questions, and keep momentum across the major phases of the journey.
A structured process that meets you where you are and keeps you organized across the full journey.
Discovery Call
We begin with a call about where you are in the process, what support you already have, and where the coordination burden is starting to build. This helps us understand your stage and what kind of structure will be most useful.
Setup & Roadmap
Based on your stage of the journey, you receive timeline support, priorities, and organizational tools. This includes an onboarding checklist, milestone map, and an initial view of the provider landscape for your journey.
Coordination Support
We help you track documents, provider roles, major milestones, follow-up items, and next-step planning as the journey progresses. This is where most of the coordination work happens.
Ongoing Structure
Depending on your package, support may continue through milestone tracking, reminders, prep questions, and structured coordination across later phases — including birth-planning logistics as you approach the final stage of the journey.
Three packages designed for different levels of coordination need. Each builds on the last.
