A $150K–$220K black box
Agency quotes arrive as one lump number. What's compensation, what's coordination, and what's markup is almost never itemized until you've already committed.
Now onboarding intended parents, carriers & donors
You're ready for a child.
The system shouldn't be the hard part.
Idinu matches intended parents with pre-screened surrogates and donors on transparent terms — itemized costs, verified people, and escrow that releases against real milestones. Whether you're single by choice, LGBTQ+, or years into infertility care.

What families are up against
Building a family shouldn't require navigating an opaque, exploitative process.
Assisted reproduction works. The infrastructure around it doesn't. Families arrive anxious, feeling powerless, and acutely aware that time is not on their side — and the process rarely gives them a reason to feel otherwise.
Fifty different rulebooks
Parentage law changes by state and country. Families discover mid-journey that their contract doesn't hold where their carrier lives.
Waitlists that cost you years
Twelve to eighteen months of waiting is normal, with little visibility into where you stand or why. Time is the one thing nobody can refund.
How Idinu works
Three steps, and you can see all of them.
We're a guide, not a gatekeeper: an empathetic, compliance-first platform built by healthcare and technology people who have watched friends and family go through this the hard way.
- 01
Build a confidential profile
Tell us who you are, what you're looking for, and where you're based. Nothing is public, and nothing is shared without your explicit approval.
- 02
Match with verified people
Carriers and donors arrive with parsed medical records, background checks, and standardized psychological assessments already complete — not promised later.
- 03
Move through milestone-backed care
Funds sit in escrow and release against verified milestones — match agreement, clearance, transfer, trimesters, delivery. You see every step and every dollar.
What happens if you don't
Another year on a waitlist you can't see into. Six figures handed to a coordinator who won't itemize it. A contract you hope holds up in a state you've never been to. Most families only learn the questions to ask after they've already paid for the answers.
What it looks like when you do
A clear path with named costs. A carrier or donor who was verified before you ever saw the profile. Legal work done in the right jurisdiction, up front. And at the end of it, a family — built on terms everyone involved could actually read.
Transparent by design
The number, and what's inside it.
There are two existing options: pay full agency price for full agency support, or pay almost nothing and carry all the risk yourself. Idinu is built for the space between them.
Legacy full-service agency
$150,000 – $220,000+
- Bundled quote, itemized late or never
- Human-paced matching, 12–18 month waits
- High-touch, high-markup coordination
Idinu hybrid platform
$120,000 – $160,000
- Itemized from day one: compensation, medical, legal, platform fee
- Algorithmic matching against pre-verified profiles
- Escrow with milestone-based release and full audit trail
Pure listing board
$5,000 – $15,000
- Cheap, but you are entirely on your own
- No screening, no escrow, no compliance layer
- Legal and financial risk sits with the family
Ranges reflect published market figures for full surrogacy journeys in the United States and Idinu's platform economics. They are not quotes, and actual costs vary by clinic, carrier, insurance, and jurisdiction.
For surrogates & donors
You are not a line item.
Carrying or donating for someone else is one of the most generous things a person can do — and the industry too often treats it as inventory. On Idinu, you get your own attorney, compensation that's stated plainly and paid on schedule, and full autonomy over decisions about your own body and care.
- Independent legal representation, paid for and chosen by you
- Clear compensation schedule with escrow-backed, on-time payments
- Every medical expectation written down before you commit
- Say no at any point before a match agreement is signed

No commitment. We'll walk you through what's involved before anything else.
Trust & ethics
The next decade of health tech has to solve trust, not just software.
Technology can make this faster and cheaper. It cannot be allowed to make it less safe. Our safeguards are guided by an advisory board of fertility clinicians, reproductive attorneys, and former surrogates.
Independent legal counsel
Every carrier and donor is represented by their own attorney, paid for and never chosen by the intended parents.
Medical and psychological screening
Standardized OB/GYN record review, background checks, and clinical psychological assessment before any match is shown.
Documented informed consent
Carriers confirm in writing that they understand the terms, the medical risks, and their autonomy over their own care decisions.
Privacy as the default
Health data is encrypted, access is scoped, and profiles are never public or indexed. You control who sees what, and when.
Jurisdiction-aware compliance
Matches are filtered against parentage law in both parties' jurisdictions before anyone gets emotionally invested.
Escrow, not trust falls
Money is held by a licensed escrow agent and released against verified milestones — never held by us, never advanced on a promise.
Questions worth asking
Start with a conversation, not a $200K decision.
Tell us where you are in the process. We'll come back with a clear, itemized picture of what your path could look like — before you owe anyone anything.
