How to Find a Surrogate Mother in Florida
Everyone’s surrogacy journey is different. However, there are some common steps that every intended parent will go through while looking for a surrogate mother in Florida with our agency.
Step 1: Identify your preferences for surrogates in Florida.
Before we can find you the perfect gestational carrier, you must identify what you are looking for in that carrier. At American Surrogacy, our matching process is mutual; you have just as much say in your surrogate’s characteristics as she has in yours. Therefore, before you can do anything else, you must decide what your ideal surrogate candidate looks like.
When you work with our agency, you can decide these characteristics:
- Location, whether Florida or somewhere else
- Experience
- Communication preferences
- And more
A specialist is happy to explain what you can and can’t choose when finding a surrogate mother in Florida with our agency. However, please keep this in mind: The more restrictions you set on prospective surrogates in Florida, the longer your wait time will likely be.
Step 2: View available surrogate profiles.
We’ll work together to determine your ideal surrogate candidate. And, once we have it ready, we’ll start searching.
At any given time, American Surrogacy has pre-approved surrogates waiting for a match. We’ll start with these candidates; if none of them share your goals and preferences for surrogacy, we’ll employ our extensive network of professionals to find you the perfect match. However long it takes, we will find you a surrogate in Florida or elsewhere in the U.S. who is ready to embark on a family-building journey with you.

At the same time you are viewing a prospective carrier’s profile, she will be viewing yours. Don’t worry — your specialist will help you put together a basic profile to help her learn more about your family. This way, she can better decide if she wants to work with you, too.
Step 3: Get to know your surrogate in Florida.
If you like a prospective surrogate mother in Florida, and she expresses mutual interest, we will work to set up an initial video call. This video call can be nerve-wracking, but it’s an important part of the process. It gives you an opportunity to get to know your surrogate better, ask her questions and figure out whether the two of you “click.”
Many intended parents and surrogates compare this first “meeting” to a first date. You’ll both be nervous, but your specialist will help you prep for the call with lists of questions to ask and topics to cover. They'll also be happy to set up a second phone call or video call if you forget to ask certain questions or just want another conversation before committing.
And, if your first surrogate candidate isn’t “the one,” we’ll keep looking for surrogate mothers in Florida or elsewhere who are — no matter how long it takes.
Step 4: Finalize your match with a legal contract.
When you and a surrogate in Florida are ready to move forward, you’ll need to finalize your match with a legal contract. Your specialist will help you and your surrogate connect with separate attorneys, who will represent your rights and interests in this next step of the process.
Your contract must be finalized before you can start any medical procedures. This contract will essentially serve as your surrogacy roadmap moving forward, addressing:
- Rights and responsibilities
- Risks and liabilities
- Surrogate compensation
- Sensitive topics, such as selective reduction and termination
- Hospital plans
- Parental rights
- And more
It can be a lengthy process, but it’s an important one. After it’s done, you’ll be able to move forward with your surrogate in Florida and prepare for the gestational pregnancy — and the baby soon to come!
