In 2023, the Tammuz Agency is celebrating 15 years of successful activity. Over this time, many families started with the help of Tammuz Family, with parents around the world experiencing the joy of managing a household, with children running from the living room to the garden.
Tammuz surrogacy agency specializes in surrogacy and egg donation services, offering a full range of consulting, support, and guidance services to the future parents and the surrogate mother. Tammuz recognizes the importance of emotional and practical support for the future parents and the surrogate and provides them with guidance, medical supervision, and legal and social assistance offering personalized solutions for each family and their needs.
How it all began?
Tammuz Agency was founded in 2008 by Doron Mamet-Meged with the goal of providing surrogacy and egg donation services to anyone dreaming of starting a family, both within the LGBTQ+ community and among the general public in Israel and worldwide. The reason behind this lies in his personal life – he wanted to expand his family and bring children into the world but encountered nearly impossible bureaucracy, numerous difficulties, and discrimination. Doron and his partner desperately longed for a child. They wished to embrace a child in their arms and raise them with love, but they initially struggled to start a family.
After thoroughly researching the topic, they decided to embark on a surrogacy journey in the United States. The journey was not easy – but they did not give up on their dream. Doron and his partner had a daughter named Talia. Talia was among the first Israelis babies born through surrogacy and the reason for Doron’s decision to help other parents.
They had the help of an Israeli/American doctor, but they had to find all the other services themselves. Throughout their journey, they realized that there is a way to bring a child into the world through surrogacy, but they also knew it was an expensive and challenging process, medically and legally, as well as emotionally.
At that time in Israel, there was no agency available to assist with the surrogacy process, to give support specifically tailored to the LGBTQ+ community. Doron decided to step up and become the person who would help anyone who wanted to start a family but couldn’t do it alone. He left his job in the high-tech industry and dedicated his life to establishing an agency that would provide all the necessary surrogacy services for anyone who desired it and had nowhere else to turn. Tammuz was the first surrogacy agency in Israel that focused its services on gay people.
Achievements over the Years
Tammuz Family’s services are offered to everyone, regardless of gender, race, or sexual orientation, with a professional, experienced, and skilled team that is here for you and continues to guide, advise, support, and accompany many families and help their dreams come true. The agency’s team includes doctors, psychologists, counselors, lawyers, and a management team that assists in the surrogacy process, comprising individuals who have gone through the surrogacy process themselves. This personal experience makes them well placed to support families who have not yet embarked on the process they have successfully completed.
Over the years, Tammuz Family has led public, media, and legal advocacy efforts in favor of equality in surrogacy for everyone, including individuals, same-sex couples, transgender individuals, and single parents. So far, with the help of Tammuz, over 1,500 babies have been born in groundbreaking processes, and hundreds of parents have been able to embrace their babies, with many more eagerly awaiting the birth of their babies in the coming months.
In 2011, Doron was chosen as one of the 50 most influential LGBTQ+ figures in Israel. In recent years, he also received international recognition when Tammuz expanded and established collaborations with countries such as Georgia, the United States, Colombia, and Mexico. Doron was even honored as one of the individuals who brought more happiness to the world through this initiative, alongside legendary figures like Mark Zuckerberg and Oprah Winfrey. Congratulations!
In 2022, the surrogacy law was successfully passed after years of struggles and protests. It seemed that once the LGBTQ+ community became a parenting community, something changed for the better. The public’s acceptance and inclusion of the LGBTQ+ community became stronger and more noticeable.
Today, the Tammuz family has offices and representations in many countries around the world, including Brazil, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Mexico, Portugal, Argentina, South Africa, Australia, India, and China. They also have a network of renowned fertility clinics in Asia recognized by the FDA and a diverse egg donation database.
We will continue to fulfill the dreams of families-to-be around the world, and we are always here for you for any questions you may have.
