Worldwide Surrogacy Specialists

What Worldwide Surrogacy Specialists does

Worldwide Surrogacy Specialists is a privately held, full-service U.S. surrogacy agency operating as Worldwide Surrogacy Specialists LLC, headquartered at One Post Road, 2nd Floor, Fairfield, Connecticut. Founded and led by attorney Victoria T. Ferrara, the firm matches intended parents with qualified gestational surrogates and provides end-to-end case management spanning surrogate recruitment, medical/psychological/background screening, matching, legal coordination, insurance guidance, and post-birth parentage support. Supporting surface area includes a self-service surrogate prescreen (a 2-minute online quiz), scheduled consultations for intended parents, monthly educational webinars, an award-winning blog, and a founder-authored book, "Gestational Surrogacy: The Definitive Guide."

The agency's customer base spans heterosexual couples facing infertility, same-sex couples (notably gay male couples), single intended parents, and international intended parents drawn from Europe and Asia. On the supply side, it recruits U.S.-based gestational carriers who must have prior children, be U.S. citizens, non-smokers, and meet stated health criteria. The revenue model is professional-services agency fees paid by intended parents, with compensation flowing to surrogates; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured on a per-engagement basis. The business is founder-controlled, with no disclosed external institutional capital, funding rounds, or acquisition history.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via dedicated case managers, amplified by a content-heavy marketing stack that includes an award-winning blog, active social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, X), monthly webinars, and a partnership-driven conference circuit led by Platinum sponsorship of Men Having Babies and additional sponsorships/presentations at Families Through Surrogacy (London) and AAAA events. The firm claims a global footprint with documented European engagements (couples from Amsterdam and Paris) and references to Asian markets; operational scale is small at 11-50 employees per firmographic data.
