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.

"While I was pregnant, Nici was an excellent support person. Every time I had a question or concern she was there for me. It didn't matter the time of day, I knew I could call her. There were so many times I needed her and she was there for me emotionally as well as physically whether it be at appointments or just to meet up for coffee. I still go to her for advice". - C
