Our story

Gestacy was established in 2017 by two European experts, Santiago Agustín, PhD in Evolutionary Psychology, and Salvador Escamochero, a distinguished biomedical researcher. Their vision was to create an agency dedicated to the well-being of surrogates, children, and intended parents. At Gestacy, we prioritize the surrogate’s rights, aspirations, and health, recognizing them as the heart of the surrogacy journey. This commitment ensures a compassionate and successful experience for all. As the first agency in the Americas to adopt a European-inspired approach to care, Gestacy has earned the trust of a growing community of surrogates and intended parents, establishing itself as a leading agency in the field.
