We have history.
Canadian Surrogacy Options has been in this field since 1992. That does not make us perfect. It does mean we have lived through the changes in law, medicine, matching, and family-building that shaped surrogacy in Canada.
A Real Conversation. No Scripts.
Why families and surrogates still choose CSO.
If you are here because you are doing your homework, we respect that. You should ask hard questions before choosing a surrogacy agency. Here is what we want you to know about who we are, what we have learned, and how we support people now.

Published refund policy for intended parents
We answer directly.
There is no call centre voice here. If you reach out, you can speak with Robyn or a team member who knows the work, knows the process, and will not talk to you like a script.
We believe trust must be earned.
People Google. People ask questions. They should. We would rather answer openly than pretend those questions do not exist.
The last two years were hard, and I have spoken publicly about that. What matters to me now is how we show up today: with honesty, with care, and with the kind of support I would want for my own family.
If you are unsure, ask me directly. I would rather give you the truthful answer than the polished one.
What support looks like now
- Clear communication about process and timing
- Careful family matching, not pressure
- Guidance through screening, legal, and medical steps
- Direct answers when something is unclear
- Resources to help you decide before you commit
What We Want You To Know
We know trust has to feel current, not historical.
01
More direct public-facing communication from Robyn and the team
02
Clear next-step tools like /qualify, /cost-calculator, and the gallery
03
A trust-first approach that invites questions instead of dodging them
