🌸 Start Your Surrogate Application →Considering the gift of gestational surrogacy? You are a compassionate person who wants to help others build their families. At New Grace Fertility, we ensure every step of your surrogacy journey is fully supported, deeply respected, and generously compensated.
Whether you're exploring how to become a surrogate for the first time or you're an experienced gestational carrier looking for your next match, this guide covers everything you need to know — from surrogate mother requirements and compensation to the step-by-step surrogacy process.
From application to delivery, here's exactly what to expect when you become a surrogate with New Grace Fertility. Our streamlined process is designed to be transparent, secure, and stress-free.
Complete our confidential 10-minute online questionnaire to check basic eligibility. No commitment is required at this stage — it's simply the first step in learning whether surrogacy is right for you. Our team will review your application and reach out within 24 hours.
Once you qualify, we coordinate your comprehensive medical, psychological, and background screenings. These ensure you're healthy and ready for a safe surrogacy journey. After clearing screening, you'll be thoughtfully matched with intended parents based on mutual preferences — including communication style, values, and comfort level.
An independent attorney will represent you — at no cost to you — to review your rights, compensation, and responsibilities. All legal expenses are fully covered by the intended parents. Your attorney will ensure the contract protects your health, your compensation, and your legal rights throughout the journey.
In gestational surrogacy, you'll take tailored medications to prepare your body for the embryo transfer. The embryo is created through IVF using the intended parents' or donors' genetic material — you have no genetic connection to the baby. The transfer procedure itself is quick and minimally invasive, and our team will support you through every medical milestone.
Receive exceptional prenatal care at top fertility clinics, regular monthly allowances, and constant support throughout your pregnancy. Your compensation is safely paid on a guaranteed schedule. Your dedicated coordinator is with you from the positive pregnancy test through delivery — and beyond. Most intended parents wish to be present at delivery, based on your comfort level.
Surrogate mother compensation reflects the incredible generosity of your gift and the life-changing commitment you make to help a family grow. All journey-related expenses are covered separately by the intended parents.
Our surrogacy requirements are designed to protect your health and maximize the chance of a successful journey for both you and the intended parents.

No. Studies show that gestational surrogacy does not affect your future fertility or ability to carry your own pregnancies. The medications used are similar to those in standard IVF and are cleared from your body quickly. Most surrogates go on to have their own children after their surrogacy journey.
In gestational surrogacy, the surrogate becomes pregnant through in vitro fertilization (IVF). An embryo is created in a laboratory using the intended parents' or donors' egg and sperm, then transferred to the surrogate's uterus. The surrogate has no genetic connection to the baby — you are simply providing a nurturing environment for the intended parents' child to grow. This is the only type of surrogacy New Grace Fertility facilitates.

New Grace Fertility works with surrogates in California, Nevada, Illinois, Connecticut, Oregon, Washington, New York, New Hampshire, and many other surrogacy-friendly states.
