ABOUT US

COTS was founded in 1988 and closed in Sept 2025 after we had facilitated 1,143 surrogate babies being born. 

  COTS was a registered not for profit voluntary organisation.

 

 Our prime objective was to pass on our collective experience to surrogates and would be parents, helping them to understand the implications of surrogacy before they enter into an arrangement and to deal with any problems that may arise during it.

If you are at the start of your journey and need direction & support please contact me Kim Cotton.

My independent consultancy is Surrogacy Advice Line.

 Tel 0333 772 1549 for information.
