The most essential building block of any family is love, however unique challenges and legal questions often exist for LGBTQ+ families. With that being said — gay Intended Parents from all over the world are turning to our platform for guidance and support to build their families.

Our dedicated team has put together an exclusive network of family building experts who specialize in IVF, egg donation, sperm donation, gay surrogacy laws, and more resources to keep you well-informed every step of your family building journey.

International Surrogacy Center wants you as Parents to feel involved with all areas of the pregnancy. If you are unable to attend appointments or keep in contact with your Surrogate, we will make sure you are informed with key information and photo updates through emails. We know that this is a major event in your life and is of course dear to your heart, therefore we want to make you feel secure and at rest with your decision to allow us into your future. No matter how close or far you are, we will stay connected to guide you through this exciting journey.

Unlike other agencies that charge fees before they have found your match, our Agency wants you to feel comfortable and sure of your choice before you commit to us. We match our clients before any agency fee is paid, and our fee is a one-time fee. Our agency fee is not paid until after the Surrogate you have chosen to work with has been medically cleared by your IVF doctor! Contact us today to set up your cost-free consultation to find a Surrogate. Our goal is to make this the happiest time of your life.

LGBTQIA+ Laws

As a rule, surrogacy laws for intended parents tend to be similar for heterosexual or LGBTQIA+ couples. Since surrogacy is a growing industry, laws can vary significantly from location to location. As an LGBTQIA+ couple, you deserve to have the most updated information about the laws for surrogacy in your area.

At International Surrogacy Center, we provide access to expert legal representation for intended parents and surrogates. The legal experts we work with have experience advocating for LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples. We can help you understand what to expect throughout the process.

LGBTQ+ Surrogacy by State

As surrogacy grows in popularity, states are developing their own approaches to the surrogacy process for LGBTQIA+ families and heterosexual couples alike. Until recently, many states had no laws dictating the process for surrogates or intended parents. Although there are similarities among states, intended parents need to know how the laws in their state and the surrogate’s state can affect the surrogacy process. Some states streamline the process for any qualified adult who wants to become an intended parent, while others may set roadblocks for intended parents who aren’t a biological parent of the child.

International Gay Surrogacy

At International Surrogacy Center, we work with intended parents from different countries as well as the U.S. Since countries set their own laws concerning surrogacy, it is important to understand how your country approaches gay couple surrogacy. Many countries treat LGBTQIA+ and heterosexual couples alike in surrogacy policies, while others may set restrictions on the timing or method of establishing parental rights.

Trans Parenting

Parenting as a transgender or nonbinary person creates wonderful opportunities, and we are happy to help. As part of LGBTQ family planning, we know that transgender and nonbinary people may be able to carry a pregnancy. Surrogacy remains an important choice for those who want the joy of parenting without having to deal with the physical and emotional factors of pregnancy. We appreciate the unique challenges faced by the transgender and nonbinary communities, and we work hard to ensure that you can have the most seamless experience possible.

What to Look for in a Gay Surrogacy Agency

Before you can start on your surrogacy journey as intended parents, you need to choose a surrogacy agency that can support you throughout the process. As a rule, you’ll have a better experience if you hire an agency with the following qualities:

• Experience working with people in the LGBTQIA+ community in your area
• Understanding of LGBTQIA+ rights in your area and the surrogate’s state
• Access to legal expertise for negotiating contracts, establishing parental rights, and more
• Transparent information about what you can expect at each stage of the process
• Excellent support for surrogates and intended parents

At International Surrogacy Center, we provide services that meet the needs of our intended parents and surrogates. Our surrogacy program makes matching with a qualified, like-minded surrogate that much easier.
