Resources for Intended Parents and Surrogates

Navigating surrogacy can feel overwhelming, whether you’re an intended parent dreaming of growing your family or a surrogate considering helping someone else do the same.

Having the right resources makes all the difference—from understanding legal requirements and medical steps to finding emotional support and trusted professionals. Intended parents can benefit from fertility clinics, surrogacy agencies, financial planning tools, and counseling services that guide them through each stage of the journey.

Meanwhile, surrogates have access to screening programs, support networks, compensation guidance, and healthcare resources designed to protect their well-being every step of the way. With the right information and a strong support system, surrogacy becomes a more confident, informed, and empowering experience for everyone involved.
