Family Source Consultants

What Family Source Consultants does

Family Source Consultants, LLC is a privately held gestational surrogacy and egg donation agency founded in 2007 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, with additional offices in Frankfort, Illinois and Miami, Florida. The firm serves three primary constituencies: intended parents (heterosexual couples, LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, and single parents), gestational surrogates, and egg donors, with a stated track record of approximately 1,000 successful matches across the United States and international markets including Europe, Australia, Asia, and South America.

The company's core offerings are three tiered surrogacy programs — the FSC Fixed Journey Program (a $188,000 all-inclusive package including a $100,000 Journey Assurance refund), the Standard Journey Program (flat agency fee plus variable journey expenses), and the Facilitation Journey Program (for independently matched or sibling journeys) — alongside a comprehensive Egg Donor Program that provides donor recruitment, screening, matching, and medical-legal coordination. Underlying technology consists of case management and coordination workflows, a mutual matching process between surrogates and intended parents, and an Egg Donor Connect online donor database; the platform is operational rather than technologically differentiated.

Revenue is generated through multi-year fixed and variable program fees from intended parents, egg donor program service fees, and ancillary coordination services. Distribution occurs via in-person consultations at three U.S. offices plus video conference consultations supported by multilingual coordinators covering Spanish, Chinese, French, German, and Japanese, with a financial partnership through Prosper Healthcare Lending (loans up to $100,000, 84-month terms) addressing affordability. The firm is founder-owned by CEO Staci Swiderski, with no external funding or parent company, and holds memberships in ASRM, RESOLVE, and SEEDS.
