You Can Make A Profound Impact on a Family
Becoming a surrogate is a courageous and giving decision that creates and builds families. With your help, people who have struggled with infertility, medical problems that prevent a woman from carrying and gay and single men who need your help to carry a child will have the chance to achieve their dreams of a family. You can make a difference and change lives through surrogacy. The dreams you fulfill for others create an amazing experience for the women who become surrogates with ConceiveAbilities... so much so that over half commit to a repeat journey and 80% refer another woman to become a surrogate with us.
SURROGATE SUPPORT FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
With three decades of experience, our proven process anticipates the unanticipated, so you are supported and protected through the important milestones of your surrogacy journey.
How do we connect you with the resources you need to become a surrogate mother?
When you become a surrogate, you will need a strong support system.
We ensure you have personal support, while we also provide and connect you with professional support including legal, financial and psychological experts.
Our surrogates tell us that they feel strongest when they are able to connect with other surrogates. We foster surrogate-to-surrogate relationships through support groups and social communities. And the surrogate community extends beyond the special women who make this commitment – we also recognize the men behind surrogacy.
Surrogacy is not a solo journey and you will want to lean on your partner, family and obstetrician for their input. We provide you the tools you need to have meaningful conversations with the people who matter most in your decision-making process.
We provide a dedicated ConceiveAbilities Surrogate Sisterhood group to interact with you during your surrogacy journey and our online community Surrogacy Learning Center to connect with surrogate experts, professionals, and other people who are on or have been on a surrogacy journey.
Who is on the team to support me through my surrogacy journey?
Our team consists of Nurses, Licensed Psychologists, Experienced Surrogates, Egg Donors, Legal Experts in Assisted Reproductive Technology, and - at the center of that team - your Match Manager. Your team at ConceiveAbilities will help you anticipate and understand any curve balls such as:
- You experience differences in an IVF pregnancy compared to your own pregnancies
- You are required to take additional steps in your journey to become a carrier, such as a trial run of medications to understand how your uterus responds
- You undergo multiple transfers to get pregnant
- You change jobs and there is disruption in your insurance
- Your and your intended parents need to address differences of view on key decisions
We are all-in for you and your surrogacy journey.
Can I use my own OB/GYN?
Your initial care will be provided by the intended parent's Fertility Center and, as needed, a local monitoring facility that our team will help you arrange. As the pregnancy progresses, the Fertility Center will release you for care to an OB/GYN and, under most circumstances, your own OB/GYN can then take primary responsibility for your care. If a higher level of care is needed, you will be referred for care from other healthcare providers.
What should I expect in my relationship with the intended parents?
Our Matching Matters™ process works to pair you with an intended parent(s) who has similar communication needs as you. Additionally, we provide both you and your intended parents with a shared decision making framework to build a strong relationship and dedicated professionals to help navigate any difficult conversations.
Will I need to travel long distances?
Depending on your location, long distance travel with a companion could be required. If you are required to travel, you can expect 2 to 3 trips lasting approximately 1 to 4 days in total. Additionally, it's important to understand local travel to various appointments is a requirement. All required travel expenses are covered by your intended parents and do not come out of your compensation package.
Other Surrogacy FAQs
How long does the surrogacy process take?
On average, the surrogate mother process takes between 15 to 18 months on average, however, any individual journey could take more or less time. Working with a reputable surrogacy agency with experienced subject matter experts that are fully dedicated to your journey is the key to expediting the experience and achieving your dream of helping another family.
Will the child be created from my egg?
No. As a compensated gestational carrier working with ConceiveAbilities, you will not share DNA with the child you are carrying and you will not be genetically related to the child in any way.
Will lots of embryos be transferred to me?
No. The field of assisted reproductive technology, and especially embryology, has undergone a revolution in recent years. For most surrogacy journeys, one embryo, sometimes referred to as a single embryo transfer, is transferred.
What if I don't become pregnant?
Typically, intended parents ask for a commitment from you for up to 3 embryo transfers, which allows most surrogates to become pregnant.
After the baby is born, what am I responsible for?
You are responsible for taking care of yourself, and we help and support you through that fourth trimester! The intended parents, by law, will have parental rights.
Why does choosing a national, experienced surrogacy agency make sense for you?
If you are among the 1% of surrogates who meet ConceiveAbilities high standards, why wouldn’t you choose one of the best surrogacy agencies in the field. Not only do you earn top surrogate pay, fourth trimester care and monthly care packages with our first-in-class All-In Surrogate Care and Compensation Program, you avoid unnecessary headaches of working with a less experienced agency or navigating the complexity of a surrogacy journey without an advocate.
Without a national agency, a surrogate opens herself up to many potential pitfalls and unnecessary risks financially, legally and medically. With nearly 30 years of experience and an exceptionally strong network of industry experts, we are a leading surrogacy agency that knows how to protect and advocate for a surrogate and head off potential liabilities in a surrogacy journey. Additionally because of our decades of expertise in the industry, we dramatically shorten the timeline and increase the chances for a sustained relationship for everyone involved in the surrogacy journey. And, most importantly, we honor your selflessness in helping another family who otherwise can’t build their family, allowing you to focus on translating your dream into reality.
Our surrogates come from all different walks of life, including those who:
Since no two surrogacy journeys are the same, rest assured that we will guide you, step-by-step and with full transparency, putting in place a roadmap for a successful and healthy outcome - one that helps another family build their family. Discover if surrogacy is a calling for you and one that will send you forward even stronger than you were before.
