Why Become a Surrogate?
Becoming a surrogate is a rewarding and selfless decision. It allows you to help create families by giving the gift of parenthood to those who cannot carry a child. Surrogates are generously compensated for their time and effort, with financial support to help achieve personal goals. The emotional fulfillment of helping others and witnessing their joy is unmatched. You’ll receive comprehensive medical, legal, and emotional support throughout the process, ensuring you feel informed and cared for. Additionally, surrogacy often creates meaningful connections, and many surrogates maintain lasting relationships with the families they’ve helped.
Who Do Surrogates Help?
Surrogates help individuals and couples who are unable to carry a child due to various reasons, such as infertility, medical conditions, or other personal circumstances. Intended parents may include those with health issues, same-sex couples, single individuals, or those with a history of pregnancy complications. Surrogacy offers a path to parenthood for those who dream of having a biological child but cannot do so on their own. By becoming a surrogate, you provide a life-changing gift, helping others build their families and experience the joy of parenthood. Your selfless act can make a profound difference in someone’s life.
