Finding a Surrogate

Working with a gestational surrogate to move your dream of parenthood forward is exciting due to the opportunity it provides you. However, parents-to-be also commonly feel the process is daunting: emotionally, physically, and financially. Grief, sadness, excitement, anxiety, hope. All of these feelings may be surfacing as you think about the process. At Forward Fertility, navigating the process of surrogacy is done with kindness, patience, and great attention to detail.

What to expect when you work with Forward Fertility as you search for a gestational surrogate?

As you consider the process of using a surrogate, are you in search of the following?

  • A knowledgeable guide who is always thinking about the details?
  • Flexibility to incorporate what matters to you into the process?
  • An advocate who can help you avoid the common pitfalls?
  • Easy access to a point person that knows your story?
  • Quick, responsive, customer-centered care?
  • A healthy, honest, genuine woman as your gestational surrogate?

If these are items you would want to have as you navigate the process of becoming a parent through surrogacy, then working with a surrogate through Forward Fertility may be for you.

We do not take on International clients , clients who plan to transfer two embryos at a time, or clients without a medical indication for surrogacy.  We have a strong preference for clients who have more than 2 embryos, embryos that are PGT-A tested, and clients who are working with IVF clinics that have a success rate as good or better than the national average AND a dedicated nurse coordinating the gestational carrier cycles.

As of May 2024, we are taking on new Parents-to-be. To be considered, please email christie@forwardfertility.com AND INCLUDE: your name(s)/age(s), medical reason for surrogacy, where you live, your IVF clinic, how many embryos you have, if they are PGTA tested, if you already have children, and two characteristics you would bring to this important team project. We prefer to work with certain IVF clinics we've worked with previously, parents with 2-3 (or more) embryos, PGTA tested embryos, and will only take on clients with a medical need for surrogacy and who are transferring one embryo at a time.

Unlike most agencies, we do not take on potential clients by having them sign a contract, pay a large sum of money, and put their names on a list.  We take on clients who we feel we can match in the next 6-9 months and who are a good fit for our program.  As always, Parents-to-Be only pay the first installment of the agency fee after they've matched with the Gestational Carrier.
