Introducing Clarity
Clarifying the independent surrogacy process for intending parents
It takes a village
As a former intending mother, I am here to be your helping hand and your biggest cheerleader through this process.
It takes a village to raise a child and sometimes it takes a village to make one. I am here to be a part of your village as you navigate the complex world of doing an independent surrogacy journey to bring your baby home. As a former intending mom, I know first hand that getting to the point of needing a surrogate means you have waded through immeasurable trauma and grief to end up here (insert deep breaths and a group hug). That surrogacy is your last hope. That you are terrified at how complex the process is, sticker shocked at the cost, and you don't know where to even start.
That was me in 2018. I first looked into agencies, but when I saw the cost (not to mention wait times) they would add to this already expensive process ($20k-$60k agency fees) I knew I would need to do it on my own. Boy was that daunting. I wish I had had a helping hand to guide me through how surrogacy worked, not to mention how on earth to even find a surrogate. That is how Clarity Surrogacy Consulting was born. Surrogacy is a necessary medical option for those wanting to build families and should not be cost prohibitive. Clarity is a cost effective option for families wanting to pursue independent surrogacy, but who need help getting started. Clarity is proud to work with all family types.

Doing this independently
Independent surrogacy is much more cost effective than using an agency - you will save $20k+ and time, but it is more work. One of the most daunting tasks is finding a surrogate on your own. Although I can’t guarantee a match, I will teach you how to present your family to potential surrogates and give you resources on where you can find them. When you do, I will help you narrow down the list to the best possible candidates. If matched, I will help you navigate all that comes next.
“We started with Tory about 4 months ago. If we were working with an agency, we would still be in the middle of the waiting list. Instead, our embryo transfer is scheduled for next month. We know that timeline is not possible for everyone, but Tory worked tirelessly to help us get our story out there. She made connections and has provided us insight into the process. She broke down the overwhelming process into digestible steps and does an amazing job of balancing the task at hand with the associated emotions associated with surrogacy. She has been through the process herself and it shows! We would not be where we are today with out her help. Most importantly, through Tory and the connection she made for us with our GC, she has provided us with hope!”
