About
Last updated on Aug 16, 2023 08:09 PM
Located in beautiful Northern Vermont, Vermont Surrogacy Network exists to help families grow through gestational surrogacy. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to become a parent. We work to find the perfect match between intended parents and surrogates, by providing individualized matching primarily in the New England/New York area. By keeping the surrogacy partners within this region, we find the bond and connection between all parties is stronger and fosters greater trust and communication. Both surrogates and intended parents can expect one-on-one personalized care and attention throughout the entire surrogacy journey. We promote open, honest, transparent communication for all parties, from first contact through post-delivery. Let us help you take the next step in your journey to parenthood. Let's talk babies!

Reviews
(2023, USA Parents)
We had a great experience with VSN. We really loved the personal and intimate aspects of working with a smaller agency. Jes matched us with a perfect GC and Kurt was a tremendous help in navigating the legal contracts and pre-birth order. We are so happy with our decision to work with the VSN team and would highly recommend them!

From start to finish, our experience with VSN was amazing. Jes was with us the entire way and matched us with the perfect surrogate. I can’t recommend VSN enough!
Approved by Vanessa Breedlove
(2021, USA parents) We highly recommend using an agency to find a surrogate rather than trying to find one on your own. Our agency was wonderful and very helpful, although we found that they could have been a little more knowledgeable about the IVF procedures. It is important that you do your own research and ask your own questions of your IVF clinic rather than relying on the surrogacy agencies who often are not medically savvy.
Approved
(2021, International parents) The agency made the process smooth and clear from the beginning. The coordination with the fertility clinic was seamless. Most importantly, their matching process was great: my surrogate and her family have become friends I will cherish forever.
Approved
(2019, USA Parents) Vermont Surrogacy Network facilitated the supports needed for a close friend that became our gestational carrier. This included both GS and IP's to have hard conversations and prepare for the 1% chances. This allowed us to continue to be best friends and not have those hard conversations or money become a variable in our relationships. Along the way we had questions and the Vermont Surrogacy Network was great directing us to the most efficient avenue. We also really appreciated using the Vermont Escrow Company alongside VSN. It made the process much more manageable. We are currently in the matching stage of our second (sibling) journey using VSN!
Approved
(2019, USA parents) We have used Vermont Surrogacy for both of our babies. Each journey was unique; our son was born via compassionate carry by my best friend. Vermont Surrogacy helped us navigate all the newness and laid out a successful journey. Our second journey was a matched gestational surrogate journey for our daughter. This was new for us and happened all through Covid- Vermont Surrogacy was there through the celebrations and emotions of the wait through the unknown shut down of Covid. Vermont Surrogacy is local, comprised of a network of people that care and want to see all families grow with joy- no matter how that happens! We hope to complete our family with a third baby and we confidently know VT Surrogacy will be apart of that journey.
Approved
(2018, USA parents) Vermont Surrogacy Network was well organized and very experienced. They outlined the procedures, outcomes and prices clearly and we stayed within our budget. We were matched with a lovely surrogate who was a perfect match for us and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience!
Approved
(2017, International Parents) Wonderful journey with them. Reliable and can be trusted. Highly recommended!
Approved
Although Vermont Surrogacy Network is new to the field, they have a tremendous amount of relative experience. One partner is the top surrogacy attorney in VT and the other has been a surrogate. They have incredible surrogates just waiting to be matched with parents. Our was absolutely amazing! And we were literally matched within 30 days.
