Find Local Surrogates

Donor Concierge finds surrogates in cities where searching is often the most difficult including Chicago, Illinois, Houston, Texas and Los Angeles or San Francisco, CA.

With our unique approach, we work with all of our surrogate agency contacts across the country to find a gestational carrier who is available, healthy and willing to work with you to carry your precious baby. From Philadelphia to Los Angeles, Dallas to Chicago, Portland to Miami, Donor Concierge can help you find the local surrogate mother you’ve been looking for.

We realize that not all families are the same and we tailor each search to your particular situation. Laws vary from state to state and undertaking family building via surrogacy requires careful consideration of specific legal nuances. Logistically, finding a surrogate who is located near you is ideal and we can help, whether you are looking for a surrogate in Illinois or a surrogate in Nevada.

Our expertise comes in identifying your specific needs, to find the best match for you. Some examples of families we’ve helped:

A same-sex male couple searching for a California surrogate
A single woman searching for an east coast surrogate. Because she was using a donor egg and donor sperm, our team worked with a legal advisor to find the best 'surrogacy friendly' state for her.
A married heterosexual couple using their own embryos – we found them a surrogate mother in Florida
An international couple from China searching for a Texas surrogate mother
A single man from Italy found a surrogate mother in California

Whatever your family structure, we are experienced in finding gestational carriers in many US locations.

In what states is surrogacy legal?

The legality of gestational surrogacy changes state by state. Some of this is dependent on your marital status, and whether or not you want to be named as your child's parent before the birth. The laws establishing parental rights vary even within counties so it's essential that you work with a qualified family formation attorney to assess your particular situation. California has the most permissable surrogacy laws, allowing intended parents to be listed on the birth certificate. Oregon, Idaho, Illinois and Maryland are among many states where surrogacy is allowed with few restrictions. States such as Texas and Florida have restrictions based on marital status. New York and Washington are states where surrogacy is illegal. It's an ever-changing legal landscape that requires expert advice. We can help you find a surrogacy attorney through our network of trusted resources.

Navigating surrogacy laws in the USA

The two main responsibilities of your attorney are to draw up a contract between you and your surrogate and to file the documents to determine parentage of your child. Essential to this is to think through and plan ahead for anything and everything that could go wrong. It is always best to think through what you will do in a worst-case scenario before your surrogate becomes pregnant with your child.

Whether you are pursuing surrogacy in Texas or looking for a surrogate mother in Ohio, the best advice is to get legal representation from an expert in fertility law before you embark on a surrogacy to make sure all details are covered and that your potential surrogate match will work for you and your specific situation. Leave nothing to chance, and never assume anything before you’ve had all the legal details spelled out.
