Who Needs a Surrogate?
Surrogacy is a wonderful option for couples and individuals unable to conceive on their own. Here are some reasons why a prospective parent may need a surrogate mom to build their family:
- loss of fertility due to hysterectomy or cancer.
- required medications that could prevent a healthy pregnancy or baby.
- reproductive conditions such as fibroids, absence of a uterus, endometriosis, PCOS, or other gynecological issues.
- sexual orientation; same-sex couples.
- gender identification (transgender).
- chronic pregnancy loss or unexplained infertility.
- age factors.
- relationship status.
- HIV+ risk factors.
- carriers of hereditary genetic diseases such as kidney disease, diabetes, heart disease, or hypertension that could prevent a healthy pregnancy or baby.

How To Become A Surrogate in Canada: The Process of Surrogacy
Step 1: Test for surrogate mom
Step 2: Surrogate parents choosing
The second step is to decide who you dream of helping, and what type of contact you want with intended surrogacy parents during and after the process. Are you looking for a very close and connected relationship, or are you looking for a bit of distance?
Our job is to help both surrogates mothers and intended parents throughout the process, so it’s really about what works for you and the amount of contact and relationship that you would want.
Step 3: Surrogacy mother immovable values
The third thing we ask of you, is to begin thinking about what we call immovable values. Immovable values are how you feel about termination or selective reduction in a pregnancy. For us, our goal is to find you someone who has that shared value if a situation arises where there is a potential for termination.
However you envision what your surrogacy journey looks like for you is perfectly okay.
