Surrogates have an incredibly important role in providing couples with the gift of a child.

By embracing this lifestyle, surrogates can ensure that all parties involved will have a positive and satisfactory journey.

Frequently Asked Questions About Surrogacy

Who Are the “Intended Parents”?

• People struggling with infertility
• Same-sex couples
• People who are unable to have a safe pregnancy or delivery

 

What are the Benefits of Being a Surrogate?

Being a surrogate can be a fulfilling and rewarding experience for individuals who want to help others achieve their dream of becoming parents. Surrogacy provides the opportunity to help create a loving family and make a meaningful impact on someone's life. Surrogates also receive financial compensation for their time and effort. Additionally, surrogacy involves a comprehensive screening and medical evaluation process, which can provide valuable insights into a woman's health and fertility.

The average surrogacy process can be a lengthy undertaking, taking 15 to 18 months to complete. Nine months of that time will be spent with the surrogate pregnant, but there are several other important steps in the process. Before pregnancy can occur, intended parents must be matched with a surrogate, which can take several months. Once a match is made, the surrogate must then achieve a successful pregnancy, and the process can begin. All in all, the surrogacy process can be a lengthy journey, but the end result is a rewarding experience for all parties involved.

 

Can the Surrogate be a Close Friend or Relative?

If you're considering having a close friend or family member act as your surrogate, we do allow this as long as they meet our qualifications. However, it's important to be aware of the unique challenges that may come with this decision. Having a friend or relative as your surrogate can lead to changes in your relationship with them that you wouldn't experience with a stranger. It's important to think through the implications of this decision before making it.
