Surrogates

At ConceiveAbilities, we work with gestational surrogates. Gestational surrogacy involves one person (who is also called a gestational carrier) who will carry a pregnancy and deliver a baby for another person. This process is successful thanks to egg donation and assisted reproduction technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).

From medication and prenatal care to birth costs and more, all expenses are paid by insurance or the intended parents. While there may be a few out-of-pocket expenses throughout this process, you will be reimbursed in a timely manner.

We have an entire list of surrogate mother requirements. In short, it’s important that you are in a healthy and stable position, physically, emotionally, and financially. ConceiveAbilities conducts thorough medical and psychological screening to determine surrogate eligibility. We also encourage you to have the support of your partner and / or family, to undertake a journey that will last 15 to 18 months. You must have had at least one child that you are raising, so that we know you have had an uncomplicated full-term pregnancy and delivery with your own mothering relationship. Finally, because of differences in state laws, we are not able to accept applications from every state.

You can anticipate that the surrogate mother process may take between 15 to 18 months on average, however, any individual situation could take more time, or less time.

This is where our years of experience and Matching Matters^® methodology is most meaningful in cultivating the right relationship between all parties. We work to establish mutual expectations for the kind of relationship the surrogate and intended parents each envision, since we know that those expectations will vary from one match to the next. Some relationships can be business-like and other relationships involve frequent communication among the participants. The kind of relationship you are interested in will be explored before and during a potential match with intended parents.
