The surrogacy experience wasn’t designed for intended parents, so we made it our mission to change that.

DESIGNED FOR
Intended parents

Why Dandelion was born

Over the past decades, as medical technologies advanced, and ways were established for intended parents to protect their parental rights, surrogacy has become more possible for intended parents.

While surrogacy has become more accessible for intended parents, the process itself hasn’t.

Surrogacy agencies were created for administrative and clinical coordination of the surrogate, and specialist professionals got involved to deliver their siloed part in the process. All of this without someone overseeing all aspects of the journey while advocating directly for the intended parent.

So, we are transforming international intended parents’ surrogacy experience by managing the entire journey with them, providing strategic and pro-active expertise throughout the process, and putting them front and centre of everything we do.
