BECOME A SURROGATE
Congratulations on taking these first steps to assisting a hopeful family!
There is no typical timeline for Intended Parents to connect with a Surrogate. In some cases, it can take 5 years before Intended Parents finally find
someone like you to help them.
WHAT IS SURROGACY?
Gestational Surrogacy is a process in which the Surrogate is not related to the child she is carrying; it is the most common type of Surrogacy today.
An embryo is created using in vitro Fertilization (IVF), using the eggs and sperm of the Intended Parent or a Donor, and then transferred into the Surrogate.
Modern science has enabled families like single parents, those struggling to conceive, cancer survivors and those from the LGBTQ+ community to grow their families and be involved from conception all the way until the birth of their child.

WHO DO SURROGATES HELP?

Intended Parents are:
-
People who have struggled to conceive.
-
Single parents.
-
Same-sex couples.
-
Cancer Survivors.
-
Anyone who is unable to safely carry a baby to term.
