Surrogacy FAQs
We work with individuals and couples from many backgrounds, including married couples, unmarried partners, single parents by choice, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Every journey is unique, and we’re here to help you determine the best path forward.
While every journey is different, most intended parents can expect the process to take approximately 12–18 months from the time they begin until welcoming their baby. Factors such as surrogate availability, medical timelines, and legal requirements can influence the overall timeline.
Every surrogate candidate completes a thorough qualification process that includes medical record review, background screening, financial verification, pregnancy history evaluation, and an extensive personal interview before being presented to intended parents.
Yes. We believe a successful journey begins with the right match. You’ll have the opportunity to review your surrogate’s profile, ask questions, and participate in a match meeting before making any decisions.
While we carefully match intended parents and surrogates based on shared goals, personalities, and expectations, we understand that circumstances can change. If a match ends before legal contracts are completed or medical clearance is obtained, we’ll work closely with you to find another qualified surrogate according to the terms of your agreement.
If you’re already working with a fertility clinic, we’ll coordinate directly with your medical team throughout the process. If you haven’t selected a clinic yet, we’re happy to connect you with trusted fertility specialists based on your needs and location.
Absolutely. Every relationship is unique, but most intended parents enjoy regular communication with their surrogate throughout the pregnancy, including updates, appointments when possible, and shared milestones. We’ll help establish expectations early so everyone feels comfortable and supported.
The total investment varies depending on your specific journey, including medical treatment, legal services, insurance, escrow management, surrogate compensation, and agency services. We’ll provide a detailed cost estimate and walk you through each expense so you know exactly what to expect.
Match Nest was founded on experience, transparency, and personalized support. With more than 20 years in fertility care and firsthand experience as a former gestational surrogate, our founder understands both the clinical and emotional aspects of the journey. We intentionally work with a limited number of families so every intended parent receives attentive, individualized guidance from start to finish.
The first step is scheduling a consultation with our team. We’ll learn about your family-building goals, answer your questions, explain the process, and help determine whether surrogacy is the right path for you.
