Egg Donor Surrogacy In San Diego CA

Bring a baby into the world with the help of our unique surrogacy program.

At the California Center for Reproductive Medicine, we are our own surrogacy program. This means that, unlike surrogacy agencies, actual fertility specialists are involved—specialists who are changing surrogacy for the better. We treat intended parents and surrogates with honesty, and we’re here to protect all parties’ interests. To avoid wasting time and resources, we evaluate surrogates thoroughly before you ever meet them. And you don’t sign any retainers or spend any money until you meet your potential surrogate. Our focus is on our shared goal: a beautiful, healthy baby in your arms.

    “The child is born!” Those four simple words have been long-awaited for ten years by our overseas relatives and their families! The joy, excitement, smiles, relief, and happiness were beyond words that could describe the true feelings of experiencing and witnessing the birth of the new-born baby from the delivery room! All thanks to Dr. Arnold and her amazing team who made the once-unreachable dream come true! It was a long and determined story of wanting a baby for ten years from our overseas relatives who tried numerous methods and medications, visited so many different doctors and hospitals, experienced heart-broken miscarriage, and etc. In January 2025 our overseas relatives came to visit us. With their permission, we made an alteration to their travel plan to visit a few reproductive clinics in our area. During our contacts and visits, one clinic raised their price from our initial meeting and the other did the test on our overseas relatives but no test results were given or any kind of follow-ups. When we introduced them to Dr. Arnold, she and her office staff greeted them with open arms, big smiles, and solid plans to help them reach their dream, having a baby! Having gone through ten years of hopes, disappointments, and struggles, with over 25-year of reproductive practices and success in Dr.Arnold, our overseas relatives decided to give it a try under the supervision of Dr. Arnold. Since that day, systematic and detailed plans were given and carefully monitored by Dr. Arnold and her team. Our overseas relatives were enthusiastically and fully engaged and carried out. Step by step, one medication after another, one mock cycle after another, one test after another, the miracle started taking place! The pregnancy was successfully progressing month after month and the baby was growing healthy and well in her womb!!! We are so happy and thankful to Dr. Arnold and her team, who provided instructions clearly and explicitly and answered our questions promptly and patiently throughout the process! They are wonderful to work with and they are super helpful and supportive along the way!!! Thank you, thank you, Dr. Arnold and your great team from the bottom of our hearts!!! You made the impossible possible!!! You are the angels!!!

    CACRM provided exemplary care throughout our surrogacy journey. Everything went very smoothly, and we succeeded on the first attempt. Ms. Evelyn speaks French fluently and has a deep understanding of our culture. She guided us with tact and precision. Dr. Arnold was also clear and concise in his communication. We highly recommend them.

    I contacted this organization through a colleague in March 2025. That was when I met Monica, who began working with me as her first patient/client. She guided me carefully throughout the process and made me feel very comfortable. All the staff were wonderful, warm, considerate, and caring toward patients. I highly recommend Monica and this clinic for all your IVF and surrogacy needs.

    I am incredibly grateful to this fertility center, CaCRM, for guiding me through the entire process of becoming a surrogate for intended parents. Their professionalism, compassion, and support throughout the process were invaluable. Every step was handled thoughtfully, with clear communication. My main contact, Monica, was especially outstanding. She was responsive and highly supportive, always patiently answering my questions and ensuring I felt comfortable and reassured at every stage. Her guidance made a complex process feel smooth and positive. I highly recommend this clinic and Dr. Arnold to anyone seeking professional fertility care from a caring and supportive team.

    I was deeply disappointed by my experience with this surrogacy clinic. What should have been a caring and supportive process became stressful, frustrating, and discouraging. From the beginning, communication was poor, inconsistent, and often dismissive. During an already emotional time, I often felt unheard and left uninformed. Most upsetting was that after I clearly decided not to continue with the clinic, despite never signing a contract, they still sent me a bill. Receiving a bill without a signed agreement felt highly inappropriate and made me extremely angry. It added unnecessary financial stress and made the process feel transactional and unethical rather than supportive. The clinic lacked transparency, failed to meet expectations, showed little concern for the emotional and financial impact on intended parents, did not take the surrogate's emotional trauma seriously, and provided very poor follow-up. Surrogacy is a life-changing decision that requires trust, professionalism, and empathy. Unfortunately, this clinic fell far short in all three areas. I strongly advise anyone considering this clinic to proceed cautiously, ask detailed questions, and ensure everything is clearly documented before moving forward.

    If I could give zero stars, I would. My experience as a surrogate with CACRM was extremely disappointing and stressful. From the beginning, their communication and follow-up fell far below what any surrogate should receive, especially when entrusting something so important to a clinic. Their employee Ashley repeatedly mishandled matters despite clear written communication and agreements. Fortunately, I kept every message, because many of our discussions were later ignored or contradicted. My reimbursement checks were ‘lost’ in the mail four times. Contractual payments were late more than once, including one that was over thirty days past the contractual deadline and was sent only after I followed up. They told me I would receive it in the next payment cycle, which I firmly refused. I repeatedly asked to speak directly with Dr. Arnold about my concerns, but on at least two occasions staff told me that ‘she does not handle these matters.’ I later learned that my requests to speak with her had never been passed along, leaving me feeling dismissed and unheard. I also complained to the clinic about Ashley several times. They always said they would address it, but nothing changed. Once, after traveling all day and arriving late at night, I discovered that the hotel room the clinic had promised to reimburse had not been paid for. At 10 p.m., I had to pay more than $500 out of pocket just to have somewhere to stay. The health insurance was also mishandled. Now, four months after the baby’s birth, I am still trying to get the clinic and its supposed ‘emergency insurance’ to address more than $36,000 in hospital bills that should have been handled properly from the beginning. No surrogate should experience this level of negligence and stress. I hope sharing my experience leads to greater oversight and accountability so future surrogates receive the professionalism and respect they deserve.

    This clinic is amazing. I was fortunate to learn about it through one of their surrogates. We began the surrogacy process and had two successful surrogacy journeys. My family would not be what it is today without Dr. Arnold and the team.

    Dr. Mor is amazing! I researched doctors throughout the United States, and according to SART data, he had the highest live-birth success rate! We searched nationwide and saw doctors said to be the best, without success. With Dr. Mor's help, however, we now have a beautiful baby! He is truly outstanding, the best of the best!

    The lady who answered the phone was rude! If that’s how you answer patients then I want no part of it! Learn better phone etiquette!

    The best review I can give is that I have a perfect baby boy, now one year old, thanks to CACRM's outstanding work! They also matched us with the perfect surrogate, who did an amazing job...we still keep in touch today. I would use CACRM again and would definitely recommend them to anyone considering this journey. One of the best experiences of my life!

    CACRM guided us perfectly through the entire process from start to finish, including all communication with third parties. We are so grateful to have welcomed our daughter into our lives. None of this would have been possible without CACRM.

    Dr. Arnold and all her staff are wonderful. Lou is friendly, professional, and caring. I love that you know everyone and everyone knows you; it feels great. This is my second time at CACRM, and I recommend it 100%.

    I am extremely grateful to Dr. Arnold and her team for helping me become the mother of a beautiful baby boy. She has an excellent professional team who always went the extra mile to help me realize my dream. I always felt very comfortable in their office, and everyone was friendly and helpful. The CACRM team is a highly dedicated group of women, and you can genuinely feel that they care about your health. I am very glad I chose to work with Dr. Arnold. She is knowledgeable, understanding, and very approachable. Special thanks to Maggie, Marlena, and Fei, who were extremely helpful. I will always be grateful for your support, encouragement, and kindness. Keep up the excellent work.

    Dr. Lori Arnold and the staff were very kind to my family and me. Her knowledge and warmth made the process comfortable, exciting, and smooth. If you truly want someone who cares and goes 100 steps beyond others, choose CACRM and Dr. Lori Arnold.

    If I could leave more than five stars, I would. I first signed with CACRM in 2021 for my first surrogacy journey. It was wonderful, and I had the best experience I could imagine. I knew I wanted another journey, so I enrolled a second time. I love Dr. Arnold; you can clearly see how much she cares and that she excels at what she does. Surrogacy coordinator Ashley is another reason I was so happy to enroll for a second journey. She was wonderful to work with and always there when I needed her. Working with Marlena was also excellent ☺️ I could continue talking about how wonderful I think they are. Take my advice and look no further for all your reproductive needs. You will not be disappointed ❤️

    California Center for Reproductive Medicine was our partner in helping my wife and me achieve our dream of parenthood. What we could not accomplish naturally was addressed through skill and advanced medicine. I had positive interactions with the staff, especially Dr. Arnold, during the years we were in their care. They stayed with us until we succeeded—twice!
