Question 1

How will I contact with the Intended Parents, will I meet them?

Accepted Answer

Intended parents are from all over the world. We work with Intended Parents in many countries who are seeking surrogacy in California. Typically our surrogates and Intended Parents will meet each other via a video call before moving forward with a match if meeting in person isn’t a viable option.

Question 2

How long after my last delivery do I have to wait to apply for surrogacy?

Accepted Answer

You may begin the screening process 2 to 3 months after your delivery. Your profile would not become active on our database until you have stopped breastfeeding and the appropriate amount of time has passed to allow your body to heal after your delivery.

Question 3

How does Patriot Conceptions find qualified surrogates and/or egg donors?

Accepted Answer

Since we have 15 years of combined experience, many potential surrogate mothers and egg donors are referred to us by current or former surrogates or donors who have had positive experiences in working with our agency. We are also widely recruiting surrogate applicants on our website, online forums, social media, and other outreach efforts.
