In this process, a surrogate will carry an embryo created from your egg and sperm or donors. After nine months, you'll be able to hold your newborn in your arms, knowing that all your efforts have led to this beautiful moment.

Here’s how you can find a surrogate to help you grow your family with the help of American Surrogacy: One of our surrogacy specialists will provide you with a detailed questionnaire where you can outline your preferences for the surrogate’s location, experience, communication style and more. This personalized plan will serve as a guide for the rest of the process. Your profile is an opportunity to highlight your family, background, values and what you’re looking for in a surrogate. Surrogates will view this profile to help them decide which intended parents they want to work with. Just as surrogates view your profile, you’ll have the chance to view profiles of surrogates who are pre-approved and ready to help you build your family. Your surrogacy specialist will work closely with you to find a surrogate who shares your preferences. Depending on your specific needs and the available surrogacy opportunities, this step can take between one and six months. If both you and a surrogate express mutual interest, the next step is to set up a video call to get to know each other. This is a great opportunity to ask questions, share your hopes and see if there’s a strong connection. Preparing a few key questions in advance can help you feel less nervous during the conversation. After a successful meeting, the surrogate will do one more screening. She will travel to your fertility clinic to ensure she’s still eligible to carry a child. Once approved, both parties will work with separate surrogacy attorneys to draft a legal contract. Once everything is signed, you’re ready to move forward with the surrogacy medical process!Finding a Surrogate for Your Embryos in 5 Steps
