Q: Will I need to pay anything throughout the surrogacy process?

Initially you may have expenses for mailing your medical records etc. All other surrogate costs are covered by the Intended Parents.

Q: How long does it take to be matched with Intended Parents?

Typically it takes about 4-5 weeks, from submitting an intake form to matching confirmation.

Q: Can I be a surrogate if I am a single parent?

Yes! We just look to see that you have a strong support system via family or friends. Their support will be very important during the process.

Q: Will the baby have any of my DNA as a gestational carrier?

Absolutely not. The baby shares 100% of the DNA/genetics of his/her parents or egg donor if one was used. Nothing will be passed on from the gestational carrier to the baby.

Q: Who pays for me to travel if I don’t live in California or near the fertility clinic?

The Intended Parents you match with will cover all costs associated with your surrogacy.

Q: How will I contact with the Intended Parents, will I meet them?

Intended parents are from all over the world. We work with Intended Parents in many countries who are seeking surrogacy in California. Typically our surrogates and Intended Parents will meet each other via a video call before moving forward with a match if meeting in person isn’t a viable option.

Q: How long after my last delivery do I have to wait to apply for surrogacy?

You may begin the screening process 2 to 3 months after your delivery. Your profile would not become active on our database until you have stopped breastfeeding and the appropriate amount of time has passed to allow your body to heal after your delivery.
