Want To Find a Surrogate Near You? 4 Things To Consider

You want to find the right surrogate to carry your baby. Of course you do! Our Surrogate Concierge team meets with hundreds of intended parents who all have one thing in common — they want to match with a surrogate who feels like the right fit for their family-building journey.

For some, that person is someone who lives close by, while for others (and possibly for you), she is someone who also checks a few other boxes. While finding a surrogate who lives in the same city or state can be important, it is also helpful to keep an open mind because the right surrogate for you may be a little farther than expected.

Rest assured that during your search, our Surrogate Concierge case managers understand that there is so much to consider during your fertility journey, so they want to help you make this journey as seamless as possible for you. 

Here’s some added context on 4 things to consider when working with Surrogate Concierge to find a surrogate. 

1.    Your State’s Surrogacy Laws

While your Surrogate Concierge team will do everything in its power to match you with the right surrogate for you, you may encounter certain restraints that are difficult to navigate. For instance, if you live in a state that doesn’t have the friendliest surrogacy laws or the best access to fertility clinics, your surrogate may live farther than you had initially hoped. In the long run, it may be a change you appreciate because of how much easier it will be to bring your baby home at the end of pregnancy. On Surrogate Concierge, you’ll find key state laws outlined clearly. 

2.    Your Specific Needs

The more clarity you have about who you would like your surrogate to be, the easier it will be for your Surrogate Concierge team to tap into their vast network of surrogacy agencies to find you the right match. Try to take some time before your first meeting to decide why you want to live close to your surrogate and what you’re hoping to get out of the relationship. 

3.    How Technology Can Support Your Relationship

Some families want a close relationship with their surrogates but are open to compromise on how to arrive at that end goal. In some cases, certain families are open to achieving that level of closeness thanks to technology, like video chats or text messaging. Every surrogate and family has different expectations of contact and involvement during a pregnancy. Throughout your search, your case manager will ensure that their process aligns with your expectations and a future surrogate’s wants.

4. Your Openness With Your Surrogate Concierge Team 

The best way to find a surrogate who lives near you is to openly discuss your preferences with your Surrogate Concierge case manager. The more information you equip your case manager with, the easier it will be for them to find you the right surrogate. In addition to finding the right match based on your preferred criteria, your Surrogate Concierge case manager will ensure you have all the tools and resources you need to establish a healthy, open relationship with your surrogate. No matter where they end up living. You will never feel alone at any step of your journey. 

Remember, while physical distance may limit your options, your case manager may find surrogates who match another aspect of your preferences. The best thing you can do during your surrogate search is to stay open, curious, and excited about what lies ahead!
