Surrogacy with Peony
Peony gives you a clear, step-by-step surrogacy plan – from "is this right for us?" through legal, financial, and emotional support – without acting as an agency or taking success-based fees.
Built for every family. Privacy-first by design.
Why surrogacy feels overwhelming
Most people start surrogacy with a handful of Google tabs, a friend-of-a-friend's story, and quotes ranging anywhere from $80,000 to over $200,000. It's a lot.
Families tell us they feel:
Peony exists to give you one trusted place to understand your options, make decisions, and move forward with a clear, values-aligned plan.
What Peony is
That means our only job is to help you choose the right path and the right partners for your family – not to steer you into any one program.
How it works
Every surrogacy path is unique, but there are predictable steps. Peony organizes them, so you're never guessing what comes next.
"Is surrogacy right for us, right now?"
"What will this actually take?"
"Who do we trust to walk this with us?"
"We're in it. Help us stay sane."
"What happens after baby arrives?"
Why Peony
Most surrogacy apps only support one path. Peony helps you compare surrogacy with other family-building options, so you can be confident you're not missing something important.
We treat your reproductive and family-building data as sensitive health information. No third-party trackers in sensitive flows, no data sold, and no surprise sharing with advertisers.
We do not earn more money if you choose a particular clinic, agency, or path. Our model is built so our incentives are aligned with your long-term wellbeing, not a single transaction.
Inclusive by design: Solo parents, LGBTQ+ families, and blended families are first-class participants at every step.
Trauma-informed: We understand grief, loss, and change are part of many paths.
Built by people who've walked complex family-building paths themselves.
Anchor in clarity, not chaos.
Feel informed, respected, and supported.
We believe surrogacy only works when everyone – intended parents, surrogates, partners, and children – is treated with care and respect.
Trust & Privacy
Surrogacy paths involve some of the most sensitive information you'll ever share – from fertility history and legal agreements to financial arrangements and personal stories.
Peony is built to protect that:
We want you to feel proud to share your family-building story one day – not worried about where your data might have ended up.
