As of March 2024, we will officially begin our 34thth year in operation!
We’ve helped bring more than 950 happy, healthy babies into the world—and we’re proud to be considered one of best surrogacy agencies in California.
We’re passionate about making every client’s experience as comfortable, rewarding, and fun as possible—and we believe that’s why more than half of our successors choose to take another trip with us. (In fact, we have surrogates who do three and even four travels with us!)
So, what makes us different from other agencies? Read on to find out why we are considered one of the best surrogacy agencies in California and how we support our surrogates on their journey.
We care about our clients and we love what we do
After being a surrogate mother himself, Cristie Montgomery was motivated to do more to help others have children of their own. He started SPS in 1990, and since then we’ve helped hundreds of people make their dreams come true. We are now considered one of the oldest and strongest full-service surrogacy agencies in California.
Our entire team is committed to the highest standards and to making our clients’ experience as positive as possible. All our case managers been a surrogate in SPS at least once!
We have a deep understanding of this very unique experience—and it helps us provide the kind of support and care our surrogates need and deserve.
As an SPS surrogate, you can be assured that you will feel valued, listened to, and cared for at all times.
We take our battles seriously
When matching surrogates and intended parents (IPs), some surrogacy agencies provide intended parents with a database of prospective surrogates to scroll through. But for us, surrogates are more than just a name on a screen.
Alternatively, you nurse a baby for nine months, connecting you to the IP(s) in an incredibly intimate and powerful way. Our goal is to create a bond and trust between surrogates and IPs to make the experience of both parties as fulfilling as possible.
We believe that the matching process should be approached with personal care and extensive experience. Our founder and president, Cristie Montgomery, personally guides the matching process, which is one of the main reasons we have had such a long history of success.
We are with you every step of the way
The health, comfort, and happiness of our clients are of the utmost importance to us. From the moment you start your SPS journey, we’ll be by your side every step of the process.
You will be assigned a case manager who is available to you 24/7. She will guide you through the entire process, attend all fertility appointments and pregnancy milestone appointments with you, and be there through your labor and delivery.
Our surrogates also attend monthly support meetings with other surrogates in the program, led by a licensed mental health professional who specializes in third party pregnancies. These meetings not only help you navigate the emotional ups and downs of the process, but also give you a sense of community along your journey.
We offer competitive benefits packages
SPS offers one of the most competitive benefits package in California. Our packages start at $65,000, and additional compensation and add-ons are possible.
Alternates will also receive $13,000 in guaranteed bonuses, which include:
- A signing bonus

We hope this article sheds some light on why SPS is a unique choice in the world of surrogacy!
