Become a Surrogate
What is a Surrogate?
A surrogate is a woman who carries and delivers a child for a couple, individual, or LGBTQIA+. Surrogates are impregnated through the use of a fertility treatment known as in vitro fertilization (IVF). Doctors create an embryo by fertilizing eggs from the intended mother or an egg donor with sperm from the intended father or a sperm donor. Because the surrogate doesn’t provide the egg, she is not genetically related to the child.
Why become a surrogate?
Although surrogates are paid for their services, most surrogates have altruistic motivations and want to gift this blessing. If you've had the thought of helping those who want to be parents but have faced long odds, being a surrogate will be the most incredibly rewarding experience ever.
