CConceiveAbilities' North Carolina surrogate Bri Buck shared her surrogacy journey experience with Axios Charlotte and the process she went through to become a surrogate mother. Bri decided on becoming a surrogate in North Carolina after she was finished building her own family. She was motivated to be a surrogate by watching others struggle with infertility and she wanted to be able to give that gift to someone who couldn’t carry their own child. "I care for this child and want to do everything I can to build him the best that I can. But the real joy for me will be getting to see the parents’ faces when they meet him," she says.

Our North Carolina Surrogate Advocate, Corrine Smith, is a 2-time surrogate mother who delivered her first surrogate baby at Duke Fertility Center and is currently on her second journey. Corrine decided to become a surrogate mother because she knew many women personally including her sister who struggled to get pregnant and she wanted to be able to help them have a family. When deciding on her second journey, she says she feels part of a rare group that can do something special and she feels she should act on that. She said, “How could I say no? I have the ability to make an important impact on someone's life.” She resides in Blowing Rock, North Carolina with her husband and her son in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and is excited to connect with others who are considering becoming a gestational carrier.

Surrogacy in Charlotte, NC: Frequently Asked Questions
For Surrogates
Is Surrogacy in North Carolina Legal?
Yes. While North Carolina does not have a gestational surrogacy statute, it also does not have case law that prohibits it. Courts have commonly granted pre-birth orders for married heterosexual couples, unmarried heterosexual couples, married same-sex couples, and single individuals. That said, it is important to note that the results can vary by county and judge. With ConceiveAbilities’ long track record of working successfully with surrogacy laws and surrogates in North Carolina, you can feel confident about all the legal steps and get one step closer to a successful surrogacy journey.
