General Information About Surrogacy | Physician Surrogacy

As a surrogate, will the birth certificate have my name on it?

The surrogate’s name will not appear on the birth certificate. We handle the legal filings to establish the Intended Parents as the legal parents, so only their names are listed on the official document.

Will I be biologically related to the baby I am carrying?

No. We exclusively practice gestational surrogacy, meaning your eggs are never used. The embryo is created using the genetics of the Intended Parents or donors, so you share no DNA with the baby.

Why should I choose Physician’s Surrogacy instead of other agencies or independent surrogacy?

Surrogacy is a medical journey, so we believe you deserve medical leadership. While many agencies are run by former surrogates, we’re the only agency managed by Obstetricians, as well as the only one that offers a Medically Cleared Fast Track program, which streamlines the process for both surrogates and intended parents. Lastly, we offer the industry’s highest compensation for first-time surrogates with a transparent, fixed-rate package.

Will the birth certificate have my name on it?

If you’re the surrogate, your name will not appear on the birth certificate. We handle the legal filings to establish the Intended Parents as the legal parents, so only their names are listed on the official document.

Is surrogacy legal in my state?

Laws vary by location. We work with surrogates in most US states (currently 43 states) that have friendly laws. The fastest way to know is to submit a short application since it instantly verifies if your state qualifies for our program.

Can I be a surrogate if I am a single parent?

Yes. We believe single mothers are just as capable and caring as married surrogates. We simply ask that you have a reliable support system of family or friends in place before you commit to the journey.

Can I be a Surrogate if I don’t have health insurance?

Absolutely. You don’t need your own insurance to apply as a surrogate here at Physician’s Surrogacy. The Intended Parents will purchase a surrogacy-specific medical policy for you that covers the pregnancy. Our team handles all the medical bills, so you’ll never be responsible for those costs.

What is a Gestational Surrogate?

A gestational surrogate is a woman who carries a baby for parents who cannot do so themselves. Because the embryo is created via IVF using the parents’ or donors’ genetics, the surrogate has no biological link to the child.
