Become a surrogate
Surrogacy is a life-changing journey that brings prospective surrogates and hopeful intended parents together in a collaborative process of bringing new life into the world and forming bonds that will last a lifetime.
A gestational surrogate is a woman who carries a pregnancy for another person or couple who intend to parent the resulting child. A heterosexual couple may be unable to become biological parents for any number of medical reasons. For single intended parents and same-sex LGBTQ intended parents, an egg donor and/or sperm donor may be needed. A gestational surrogate does not have a genetic link to the baby because the embryo that undergoes gestation was made with an egg from a donor or the intended mother. A gestational surrogate’s partner (if applicable) also does not have a genetic link to the baby.
The ideal surrogate is a healthy woman between the ages of 21 and 38 who has had a successful full term pregnancy and has a supportive family environment to help her cope with the added stress of pregnancy. The carrier should have no more than five previous vaginal deliveries or two previous cesarean deliveries. Prior to becoming pregnant, the surrogate should talk about the risks of pregnancy with her healthcare provider.
Being a surrogate means providing another person the amazing opportunity to have a baby. They would otherwise never be able to have a biological child of their own without a surrogates help.

Potential surrogates must agree to meet with the agency coordinator over a virtual meeting to go over our easy step-by step process, discuss compensation, and go over any concerns that you may have.
During this time we get information as to the type of intended parent(s) that you’re willing to work with. As a general rule and for the safety of our surrogates usually only one embryo is transferred at a time.
