These are internal outcomes, not SART national statistics or a guarantee; individual results vary by embryo, clinic and patient/surrogate factors.— SART |

Choose an egg donor (known or from a donor program), decide whose sperm to use — many couples create embryos with both partners' sperm and transfer one from each over time — and match with a surrogate. Our egg donor programs are EggDonors4All and IndianEggDonors; both link from this page.
If either partner can carry, reciprocal IVF gives one partner a genetic link and the other a gestational link. If neither can carry, a surrogate carries an embryo from one partner's egg and donor sperm.
Fertility preservation before medical transition (sperm or egg freezing) preserves the option of a genetic child; a surrogate carries. Our physicians coordinate with your endocrinologist on timing.
Two dads should budget the standard $120,000–$180,000 plus $25,000–$45,000 for the donor cycle. Employer fertility benefits increasingly cover LGBTQ+ family building without an infertility diagnosis; our benefits database lists them. Insurance for the surrogate's pregnancy works the same as for any intended parents.
Canada, Colombia and the Republic of Georgia have different rules for same-sex and single intended parents; our Ghana and Georgia program pages state current eligibility.
Egg donor selection and retrieval usually run in parallel with surrogate matching, so the total remains 15–18 months.
Many gay men yearn to have families. Some LGBT couples look upon having a baby as a culmination of their relationship with their partner.
Usually LGBT couples start thinking of parenthood once they passed the age of 30. They viewed parenthood as a reflection of the stability of their relationship, and financial and career security. In a recent survey, most of them viewed having a baby as “planned and responsible” parenthood.
We recognize that for LGBT couples there are unique societal challenges and a difficult cultural environment that makes it complicated for having and caring for a family
At Surrogacy4All it is our goal to ensure to the best of our ability, the long-term health and safety of everyone involved in the surrogacy process. This includes the Intended Parents, the Surrogate, the Egg Donor and especially the babies.
To ensure this works for everyone, the first step is for us to meet with you by phone and preferably in person, to fully understand your needs, goals and desires. We view this as being a relationship where we support you throughout the surrogacy process, from the beginning until you have a beautiful baby in your arms.
Remember to make this work for everyone, we need to be able to match you as Intended Parents with the right Egg Donors, Surrogates and IVF Clinics, whose personalities and services provided fit your expectations.
*Surrogacy in Ghana and India is prohibited for LGBTQ same-sex couples.
The Egg Donor is usually the first item to be addressed, and one of the most important parts of the process. While the Surrogate function is that of a carrier, the DNA of your baby will come from you and your egg donor. Your sperm will be mixed with her eggs at the IVF Clinic to create the embryos.
For many couples the generosity of the egg donor to donate her eggs, solves the heartbreaking issues associated with a lack of usable female eggs to have a baby. They are a fundamental part of helping intended parents create a family.
Most probably, you have a mental idea of the kind of donor you are looking for in terms of age, physical appearance, education, family history and personality. Our goal is to make this dream come true.

The selection of the surrogate is itself an important decision. We recommend the surrogate to be a person who is not driven solely or even primarily by money. As part of our psychological screening we look for a surrogacy mother who combines the appropriate mixture of altruism and other motivations (“I like being pregnant”) along with the financial incentives.
Our best choice of surrogates typically is those that already have one or two children, do not want any more children of her own, liked being pregnant and liked helping other people. Basically a “good kind person”. Many come from the helping professions with careers as teachers or nurses and feel the most beautiful when they are pregnant.
One surrogate stated the reason she became a surrogate is because “No matter what else I do in my life, I will always feel I have done something to help make a meaningful defense in another person.
Your choice; many couples create embryos with both.
Surrogacy laws for same-sex couples in New York may differ by judge and jurisdiction, adding complexity to parentage orders. For a clear understanding of your LGBT surrogacy journey in the state, consult with a knowledgeable New York surrogacy attorney like Surrogacy4All, who can guide you through the intricate legal landscape.
New York legally allows second-parent adoptions, offering unmarried intended parents the means to secure parental rights for their surrogacy-born child. Consult with a highly recommended attorney in New York to assess whether a second-parent adoption is essential in your unique situation, ensuring proper legal protection for your family’s journey.
The Child-Parent Security Act enables prospective parents to obtain a pre-birth order, irrespective of biological ties to the child. Individual circumstances vary, so it’s crucial for intended parents to consult a knowledgeable New York surrogacy attorney to understand specific requirements for their situation.
International intended parents pursuing surrogacy in New York should note that state laws exclusively apply to residents and citizens. As such, there are no provisions for those outside the U.S. Seeking legal advice from professionals familiar with both their home country’s laws and the chosen surrogacy destination is crucial for compliance and understanding international regulations.
