A surrogacy agency is a professional organization that matches intended parents with gestational surrogates and provides guidance and support throughout the surrogacy process.

A gestational surrogate is a woman who carries a child for intended parents using an embryo created through in vitro fertilization (IVF). The surrogate has no genetic connection to the child.

Surrogacy agencies typically have a database of women who have applied to be surrogates. They may also recruit surrogates through advertising and referrals from current or past surrogates.

Qualifications vary by agency, but typically a surrogate must have had at least one successful pregnancy, be in good health, and pass medical and psychological evaluations. Do you want to become a surrogate?

Prices vary depending on the specifics of the surrogacy arrangement. However, the costs include representation, medical and legal procedures, and compensation for the surrogate. For detailed information on surrogacy costs, fill in the form (apply to become a parent) at the end of this page.
