The Surrogacy Process:

Step by Step

Step 1:

Surrogate Application & Eligibility

Start by completing our quick online surrogacy application. To qualify as a gestational surrogate in Colorado or Utah, you must:

  • Be 21–38 years old

  • Must have a BMI of less than 32

  • Have had at least one healthy pregnancy and delivery

  • Be a non-smoker

  • Must be a U.S. citizen or legal resident

  • Not receiving government assistance such as food stamps or cash aide

  • Can not be currently taking medications for anxiety or depression

  • Live in a surrogate-friendly state like Colorado or Utah

Step 2:

Medical and Psychological Evaluation

You’ll receive:

  • A complete medical evaluation at a top fertility clinic

  • A psychological screening to confirm emotional readiness

  • Background checks for safety and peace of mind

All costs are covered by the intended parents.

Step 3:

Matching with Intended Parents

We match you with hopeful parents who align with your values and preferences. Whether you're looking for a close relationship or a more private journey, the choice is yours.

We work with many local intended parents in Colorado and Utah, as well as couples across the country.

Step 4:

Legal Contracts and Protection

You’ll receive independent legal representation (paid for by the intended parents) to ensure your rights and responsibilities are clearly outlined.

Step 5:

Embryo Transfer & IVF Preparation

Once the legal agreement is signed, you’ll begin medications to prepare your body for embryo transfer. The embryo is created using IVF with the intended parents' (or donors’) genetic material.

This step is carefully timed and supported by a top-tier fertility team.

Step 6:

Pregnancy Support & Compensation

Throughout the pregnancy, you’ll receive:

  • Regular medical care and wellness check-ins

  • Monthly compensation payments

  • Emotional support and surrogacy coordination from our local teams in Utah and Colorado

As a first-time surrogate, you can earn $70,000–$75,000+, with additional bonuses for experienced surrogates or special circumstances.

Step 7:

Delivery Day

You'll give the gift of life—bringing immeasurable joy to your intended family. Delivery typically occurs in a hospital near your home with full support from your care team.

You’ll have the option to decide how involved you want to be during this beautiful moment

Step 8:

Postpartum & Recovery Support

After the birth, you’ll receive continued care and emotional support as you recover. Many surrogates stay in touch with their intended families and even choose to do a second journey later.
