Surrogate Mother – Creating Hope
- Surrogate mothers don’t share genetics with the baby.
- You will be compensated for carrying someone else’s baby and are protected by a legal surrogacy agreement signed by both the Intended Parents and you.
- You will profit from the immeasurable benefits that result from creating a life.

How we are different from other surrogacy agencies
- For the Intended Parent, surrogacy represents hope for those who cannot have a child on their own.
- For Surrogates, surrogacy represents hope for a better world of diverse people bonded together by a new life.
What is the surrogate process?
1
Legality
On February 16, 2021, surrogacy became legal in New York. Entitled the Child-Parent Security Act, New York became the first state to license surrogacy agencies. Furthermore, as of the enactment date, New York became the best state to be a surrogate because of the legal protections provided to surrogates.
2
Qualification
The qualifications are listed to the right. However, please understand the surrogacy process first before you decide to embark on a journey. Feel free to speak to our surrogates to hear first hand what the entire process will entail.
3
Application
Once you find you are qualified and ready to become a surrogate, you can submit an application to us that will require more details about your medical history, personal background, and your motivation for becoming a surrogate.
4
Screen
If you are selected candidate, you will be asked to do a physical exam, a mental health evaluation, and background/credit checks to become a cleared surrogate.
5
Match with intended parents
We only take intended parents that have themselves been screened and are seeking a surrogate out of need and not by choice. We will strive to match you as soon as possible after you have been cleared, but matching may take several months.
6
Legal agreement
Upon matching, we will retain independent legal counsel for you to review and enter into a legal surrogacy agreement. This agreement clarifies:
- How much and who will pay for what
- Exactly how the process will work
- The responsibilities and rights between you and the intended parents.
- How the child will be turned over after delivery
- Any other details that apply
7
Insurance
Before any treatment for embryo transfer, you will be provided with a life insurance policy of at least $750,000 to last until 12 months after childbirth and be confirmed with medical insurance coverage to cover all costs up to 12 months after childbirth.
8
Pregnancy
The intended parent’s embryo is transferred into your uterus through the process called in vitro fertilization (IVF). Once pregnancy is confirmed and you are released from the monitoring of the IVF doctor, you will be cared for by the OB/GYN of your choice.
9
Birth of baby
During the pregnancy and with your cooperation, the Intended Parent will have already filed a petition for a parentage order. Upon the birth of the child, the Intended Parents can take the child home.
