Every family begins with a hope. Hera is where that hope finds its people.
Hera, from Hera Family Planning, brings intended parents, egg donors, sperm donors and surrogates together in one trusted place. No middlemen and no maze of red tape: just real people getting to know each other and building something life-changing, together.
HERA 3.0: REBUILT FOR THE FAMILIES WHO COUNT ON IT
We rebuilt Hera from the ground up. Every screen, every message and every payment now runs on a new, faster and more secure foundation. Along the way we listened to our members and fixed the small frustrations that got in the way of big moments. It is the Hera you know, now quicker, steadier and kinder to use, on iPhone and the web.
FIND YOUR MATCH
- Browse egg donors, sperm donors and surrogates through rich profiles with photos, galleries and intro videos
- Filter by what matters most to you: age, ethnicity, height, education, location and more
- Tap the heart to send a match request; once it is accepted, your private conversation opens
- Built-in directions walk you through searching, filtering and matching
- Every plan shows its daily profile views and match requests up front, so there are no surprises
GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER
- Private messaging with photos and files that always opens at your newest message
- Face-to-face video calls right inside your conversation
- Notifications take you straight to the exact conversation or match they are about
MOVE FORWARD WITH CONFIDENCE

- Review offers and reimbursement requests and pay securely by card
- Donors and surrogates set up payouts once and are paid directly
- Clear payment records and receipts for both sides
YOUR PRIVACY, PROTECTED
- Other members see your profile, never your account details: your email, date of birth and payment information stay private
- Screenshots and screen recordings are blocked to protect sensitive conversations
- Optional two-factor sign-in, and you stay securely signed in on your phone
FOR DONORS AND SURROGATES
- A "Complete your profile" card shows you exactly what to add next, so families can see your best self
- Thoughtful reminders help your profile shine, and you can turn the emails off anytime
Growing a family in a "non-traditional" way can feel complicated. Hera is here to make it feel human: hopeful, respectful and a little easier at every step. We are honored to be part of your story.

Finding a match has been a problem for a while. The existing database especially for egg donors is nearly nonexistent and they are sought out when a request is made. This app makes things so much simpler which is a huge step forward for the industry.
Love it!

I can match with a surrogate from the privacy of my own home. No having to go into an office to find someone. I’m excited to see how this community grows
