Why We Cannot Recommend Tammuz Family
Based on our own experience, we want to share why we cannot recommend Tammuz Family to anyone considering surrogacy.
Limited Availability of Egg Donors
Our experience has been that many of the egg donors presented to us have not been available when we have wanted to move forward. This has left us with the impression that the selection of donors does not match what is initially presented to prospective clients.
Extremely Long Waiting Times
Our experience has been that the waiting time to be matched with a surrogate is around 18 to 24 months, which is significantly longer than what we were told before signing the contract.
Lack of Communication
Since signing the agreement, we have found that communication has deteriorated considerably. It has often taken several weeks to receive answers to our questions or updates on the progress of our case.
Lack of Accountability
Whenever issues have arisen, we have felt that responsibility has consistently been shifted to the clinic, while Tammuz has taken a passive role rather than taking ownership of the situation and actively working to resolve it.
High Costs Without Clear Added Value
Tammuz is one of the more expensive surrogacy agencies on the market. In our experience, the level of service and support has not justified the premium price.
Not the International Organisation We Expected
We were given the impression that Tammuz was a large international organisation. In reality, we have found that our point of contact works remotely as an external representative, which has not met our expectations.
Our advice is to thoroughly research different agencies, read independent reviews, speak with former clients and ask detailed questions before making your decision.
We sincerely hope you find a trustworthy agency and wish you every success on your journey to becoming parents.
