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, struggling with infertility, 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?

A person waiting to become a parent with the help of a Surrogate is called an “Intended Parent”.

​

Families may choose this path to parenthood for a variety of reasons. Most commonly, Intended  Parents are:  

• People who have struggled with infertility. 

• Single parents.

• Same-sex couples.

• Cancer Survivors.

•  Anyone who is unable to safely carry a baby to term.
