Thinking about becoming a surrogate?
It is a big decision, and you should never feel rushed. Here is what we promise you, who can apply and what happens next.
What we promise you.
Your consent, every stage
You are asked for your consent at each stage, and it is recorded in writing.
Agreements explained
Our barrister prepares the agreements and explains them to you before you sign anything.
Medical care covered
You are medically screened, and your medical care is covered during the pregnancy and delivery.
Support throughout
You are supported during and after the pregnancy.
Your choice about meeting
Some programs are anonymous and some are known. How and whether you meet the intended parents is explained first and agreed with your consent.
Privacy
Please share no medical details on this website. We discuss them privately, in a conversation.
Who can apply
Requirements vary a little between agencies. These are the usual ones, and we confirm each with you personally.
- Aged between 21 and 42.
- At least one successful, uncomplicated pregnancy.
- In good physical and mental health.
- Not taking certain medications.
- A stable, secure living situation.
How we select surrogates
Screening includes medical and psychological evaluation, background checks, interviews and a review of your medical history and lifestyle. It exists to protect you as much as the intended parents.
How long it takes
From application to the birth it can take well over a year, because it includes waiting to be matched with intended parents, the medical and legal steps, and the treatment itself.
What happens when you apply
- A private conversation with our team about your questions.
- Eligibility is explained and medical screening is arranged.
- Our barrister explains the agreement to you before anything is signed.
- An introduction to the intended parents, if your program is a known one, when you are ready.
Check privately if you may qualify.
Six short questions. Nothing is stored or sent until you choose to message us, and we never ask for medical details here.
Questions surrogates ask.
Will I be paid?
Support and compensation are explained to you in writing before you sign anything. We do not discuss figures on the website, and we never pressure you to decide.
Will I be a legal parent of the baby?
The agreements set out your role and the intended parents' role. Our barrister prepares them and explains them to you before you sign, including how this works in your case.
Who will know I am a surrogate?
Your information is shared only with the people who need it, such as the clinic, the barrister and the intended parents, with your consent.
Can I change my mind?
Your consent is asked for at every stage. How a decision to stop is handled is set out in the agreement, and our barrister explains it before you sign.
Do I have to meet the intended parents?
That depends on the program. We run anonymous and known programs. We explain which one it is before you agree to anything.
