The choice to become a gestational surrogate/carrier, is certainly not an easy one. Few endeavors are as mentally and physically demanding. Yet, ask most surrogate moms, and they’ll tell you the decision is really a matter of the heart, one that brings an inner joy you just can’t describe.

Typically, a woman who elects to become a gestational surrogate, has already had children, and sees her own family as being complete. She’s someone who truly feels for those struggling with infertility — so much so, she’s willing to give one of the greatest gifts of all, to offer another couple the chance to become parents.

Becoming a gestational surrogate does require your time, to complete the screening process, as well as the ART treatment procedures (to get pregnant), but these services and procedures do not cost you monetarily. After qualifying for New Hope’s program, you’ll receive attentive care, generous compensation and the knowledge of just how wonderful a gift you are to a deserving couple in need.

We are so glad you are interested in The New Hope Center’s Gestational Surrogacy Program. We hope to provide you with the information you need to make a well-informed decision, and our goal is to ensure that each gestational surrogate has a positive experience while taking this journey toward accomplishing her goals, as well as those of the Intended Parent(s).
