Gestational Surrogacy
Are you interested in being a surrogate?
A surrogate, also called a gestational carrier, is a woman who carries a child for someone else who cannot safely carry a pregnancy to birth. It is our mission to provide unparalleled service throughout the surrogacy process. We ensure that you have specialized legal representation, expert medical care, and hands-on support for the entire surrogacy process.
Are you interested in being Intended Parents?
An intended parent is an individual or couple who is unable to safely carry a baby – for any of many reasons. It is our mission to provide unparalleled service throughout the surrogacy process.

Surrogacy Process
Application
The process begins with your application to be a surrogate or intended parent. Please fill out our contact form online or contact our office for an application, or to answer any questions you might have, as soon as you are ready.
Background review & interview
We feel a special commitment to ensure that the surrogacy process is a positive experience for all of our clients. That is why it is so important for us to obtain background details on all of our surrogates and families.
Matching
Once we have gone over your background, medical history, and preferences for the process we are ready to begin finding the right family (for surrogates) or right surrogate (for intended parents) for your surrogacy process. Part of this will be setting down the details of your preferred surrogacy plan: including compensation and medical procedures for the surrogate.
Medical preparation
Once all the arrangements have been made with the couple, the surrogate will begin working with medical specialists to get ready for the surrogate pregnancy.
Beginning the pregnancy
Specially trained doctors will transfer the couple’s embryo to the surrogate and begin the pregnancy.
