Traveling for Surrogacy: Hotel, Stay, and Care Tips for Intended Parents

Many Intended Parents travel long distances — even internationally — to welcome their baby through surrogacy.
At Surrogacy4All, we help make your travel experience smooth, safe, and memorable. Here’s your full guide to traveling for a surrogacy birth.

When to Travel for a Surrogacy Birth

Plan to arrive about **1–2 weeks before your surrogate’s estimated due date** (EDD). Surrogacy pregnancies often result in early deliveries — being nearby ensures you won’t miss your child’s birth.

Choosing the Right Hotel or Accommodation

• Look for hotels near the surrogate’s delivering hospital.
• Book a flexible reservation with free cancellation (birth dates can shift).
• Choose accommodations with kitchenettes for newborn feeding convenience.
• Confirm availability of cribs or pack-and-plays.
• Ask if the hotel offers long-term stay discounts (some do for surrogacy cases!).

Checklist: What to Pack for Your Surrogacy Trip

• Copies of all legal documents (parentage orders, hospital pre-registrations)
• Car seat (required for hospital discharge)
• Newborn clothing and blankets
• Diapers, wipes, and feeding supplies
• Camera or smartphone for first moments
• Gifts for your surrogate and her family
• Snacks, toiletries, and comfort items for your hotel stay

Post-Birth Paperwork to Plan For

• Obtain birth certificate (typically available within 5–10 business days)
• Apply for baby’s passport (for international parents)
• Complete any additional parental affidavits or court forms as needed
