Olga Pysana – your go to Surrogacy Insider

We know that the international surrogacy industry has a transparency problem - and Surrogacy Insider is a part of solution

From vague cost estimates that end up doubling to agencies with questionable reputations and hidden fees - families are often left to navigate a maze of half-truths on their own. You deserve to see the full picture before making decisions that will impact your family's future.

I created The Surrogacy Insider after witnessing intended parents make costly decisions based on incomplete or even false information. But, through my consultations, you'll gain access to unfiltered insights about international surrogacy programs - the actual cost we always show with full transparency, realistic timelines, communicating all potential complications that are rarely mentioned in initial conversations with most of the agencies. You will have me by your side during the entire process if necessary!

About Olga - Personal Story 

Meet Olga Pysana - Your Surrogacy Insider

"Hi, I’m Olga, founder of The Surrogacy Insider. Since 2019, I’ve helped shape over 250 families through international surrogacy, working across 7 countries.

As I supported countless journeys, I saw a troubling gap - intended parents weren’t getting the honest, compassionate guidance they deserved. That’s why I launched this platform, wrote about it, participated in webinars, podcasts and conferences - doing all I can to change that.

Here, you’ll find real, unbiased insight, correct information about all costs, and trusted connections with professionals I’ve personally worked with. Because for me, it’s never just about the process - it’s about the family."

The surrogacy industry lacks transparency

From vague cost estimates that end up doubling to agencies with questionable reputation and hidden fees  — families are often left to navigate a maze of half-truths on their own.

I created The Surrogacy Insider after seeing intended parents make costly decisions based on incomplete information. Through my consultations, you'll gain access to unfiltered insights about international surrogacy programs. The actual costs, realistic timelines, and potential complications rarely mentioned in initial conversations.

As an international independent surrogacy consultant, my role is simply to make sure you see the full picture before making choices that will impact your family's future. We will start with an honest conversation about what's actually involved in building your family through surrogacy
