While we proudly work with intended parents from Michigan, we do not currently work with surrogates in Michigan due to the previous legal restrictions. Michigan’s new surrogacy protections are slated to go into effect in March or April of 2025, at which point we intended to begin accepting surrogates from Michigan. Until then, we can help you down the quickest path to parenthood by connecting you with a surrogate from a neighboring state.
Our surrogates are prepared and willing to travel to meet you in-person. Finding a surrogate outside of Michigan not only ensures compliance with legal regulations but also expands your options and helps to minimize wait times.
