Surrogacy is an incredible path to parenthood, but it can also feel overwhelming. With so many choices, legal considerations, and financial commitments, knowing where to start—and how to avoid common pitfalls—is crucial. That’s where the right support makes all the difference.
As an Independent International Surrogacy Consultant, my role is to provide unbiased, expert guidance on surrogacy options across multiple countries and continents. Unlike agencies that promote their own programmes, I work exclusively for you—helping you navigate different surrogacy destinations, legal frameworks, and providers with clarity and confidence.
I’m Shaun, founder of The Surrogacy Father—one of Europe’s leading Independent International Surrogacy Consultants and a dad of three through international surrogacy myself. I know firsthand how exciting, confusing, and emotional this process can be. That’s why I started The Surrogacy Father—to make sure you don’t have to go through it alone.
Embarking on a surrogacy journey is one of the most exciting yet complex experiences of your life. It’s filled with big decisions, emotional highs and lows, and a lot of unknowns. Having the right guidance from the start can save you time, money, and stress, ensuring a smoother and more successful experience.
A surrogacy consultant isn’t just someone who understands the process—they’re someone who walks alongside you, making sure you feel confident, informed, and supported at every stage.
But beyond just advice, working with an independent surrogacy consultant means you get hands-on support—helping you:
Unlike agencies and clinics that promote their own programmes, an independent surrogacy consultant works for YOU—ensuring your best interests always come first.
With my guidance, you’ll:
I’ve been through this journey myself and now help others do the same.
I’m not tied to any agencies or clinics, so my guidance is in your best interest.
Every family’s journey is unique. Whether you’re just starting or deep into the process, I tailor my advice to your needs.
I support all intended parents, no matter where you’re from or who you love.
Surrogacy can feel overwhelming, with so many moving parts. Having an expert by your side means you won’t waste time with unreliable agencies, overpriced programmes, or unexpected setbacks.
I’ve been through this myself, and I know the questions, worries, and challenges that come up. You’ll have a dedicated expert walking you through each stage—answering your questions and troubleshooting issues before they become problems.
Not all surrogacy programmes operate ethically, and not all clinics are transparent about their success rates. I ensure you only work with trusted professionals, reputable clinics, and ethical agencies that align with your values.
With connections across Europe and the Americas, I help intended parents find the best-fit surrogacy destination based on budget, timeline, and legal protections.
Finding the right surrogate or egg donor is one of the most personal parts of the journey. I provide hands-on support in selecting safe, ethical, and suitable matches, ensuring you feel confident in your choices.
Many intended parents unknowingly spend thousands more than necessary due to hidden costs or inflated agency fees. I help break down pricing, identify red flags, and negotiate better terms where possible.
If you’re considering surrogacy overseas, you need someone who understands the local laws, clinic reputations, and exit processes. I’ll help you navigate international surrogacy smoothly and avoid unnecessary delays.
Bringing your baby home isn’t just about the birth—it’s about paperwork, passports, and legal processes. I ensure you’re fully prepared to handle citizenship, visas, and other post-birth requirements.
Surrogacy is a rollercoaster. There will be exciting moments, but also challenges along the way. Having a consultant means you’re never alone—you have someone to turn to when things get tough.
Ultimately, working with a international surrogacy consultant means fewer surprises, better decisions, and a smoother, more enjoyable journey. Instead of feeling lost in logistics and paperwork, you can focus on what truly matters—preparing for parenthood.
With the right guidance, surrogacy doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Instead, it can be an exciting, empowering experience—one where you feel in control, supported, and confident in your decisions.
You don’t have to figure this out alone. Let’s take this journey together.
