As we know that every journey is different, circumstances specific to your and your family, you must have many more questions to answer. In our Parent’s Academy, we have also collected over the years many more contents that may be useful to you, as broad as the yearly reports which cover yearly the state of surrogary in general or as specific as the Surroblogs deep diving on specific themes.
Moreover, check our social media channels for the latest updates and surrogacy news.
We have collected below the most frequently asked questions by our surrogates answered by our seasoned surrogate graduates.
There are several variables that go into a successful, secure match. Your criteria and your priorities play a factor in determining how long your matching process will be. The stricter you are with your criteria (i.e, age range, marital status, etc), the longer it takes to match. In 2022, SurrogateFirst’s average match time was 6-12 months.
The short answer is No. Legal papers are created and signed by you and your surrogate before your journey begins. This legal agreement explicitly gives all parental rights to the Intended parents.
Intended Parent(s) have as much contact as they wish with their surrogate. During our matching process, your Case Manager works with you to find a surrogate who shares your expectations and we support you both as the relationship evolves.
We have a process that includes matching you with a surrogate who fits with your criteria and is ready to help you. To get started APPLY HERE
While surrogacy is an option for all prospective parents (whether heterosexual or homosexual couples, or single people hoping to become parents), it’s commonly used as a way for gay men to have a biologically related child.
A Gay Parenting Surrogacy journey involves in vitro fertilization. This means that the embryo is created outside the womb with IVF technology and then transferred to the surrogate’s uterus.
For gay couples, surrogacy provides the ideal opportunity to not only have a child but also to have a child that shares their genetics. Advances in assisted reproductive technologies have made the surrogacy process easier than ever, and updated surrogacy laws across the U.S. protect all parties of a surrogacy agreement.
SurrogateFirst is proud to offer Gay Parenting Surrogacy Services that help couples and individuals fulfill their dreams of parenthood, regardless of sexual orientation.

Although surrogacy for heterosexual Intended Parents and same-sex Intended Parents is largely similar, there are a few factors that separate gay surrogacy from surrogacy for straight singles and couples.
It’s important to understand your rights as parents, and what the surrogacy laws are in your state or country, and in the state in which your surrogate mother resides.
