What the Verified Partner Badge Means

At Growing Families, we know that intended parents are making deeply personal, life-changing decisions. That’s why trust, transparency, and ethical practice are at the heart of everything we do and why we created our Verified Partner Program.

When you see the Verified Partner badge, it means more than just a logo. It’s a symbol of credibility, accountability, and alignment with the values that matter most to families starting their journey.

What the Badge Represents

Becoming a Verified Partner means an organisation has been carefully assessed by our team and has met criteria across several key areas:

• Ethical Standards
  The provider demonstrates a commitment to ethical conduct, transparency in pricing, and responsible communication with clients.
• Experience & Track Record
  They have verifiable experience supporting intended parents and have received consistent, positive feedback from clients.
• Professionalism & Responsiveness
  They uphold respectful, timely, and clear communication, and demonstrate an ongoing commitment to improvement.
• Alignment with Our Values
  Most importantly, they support our mission to make family building more informed, inclusive, and safe for all.

Why We Created the Program

The surrogacy and donor landscape can be complex, especially across international borders. Our Verified Partner Program helps simplify it by identifying providers who have earned our confidence — so intended parents can make more informed, empowered choices.

Not All Applications Are Approved

Only those who meet our verification criteria are granted Verified status. Some applicants may be asked to make improvements before proceeding. In some cases, applicants may be declined entirely if they do not align with the principles we uphold.

Using the Badge

When you see the Verified Partner badge on a provider’s website, it confirms they’ve met Growing Families’ standards for trust, professionalism, and ethical practice.

The badge will always link back to a page on our site so you can verify that the partner is currently approved, understand the criteria behind the badge, and feel confident in your choice to engage with them.
