Surrogacy for the LGBTQ community can be incomparable and challenging in many different ways. Here at Family Makers Surrogacy we believe that everyone has a right to grow their family and we help to support that dream for everyone no matter their sex, race, age, gender identity, or relationship status. We have helped to build the families of numerous members of the LGBTQ community including same sex couples, single mothers by choice, and single fathers by choice.
Surrogacy for gay couples can include the following additional expenses:
– Additional genetic testing
– Use of an Egg Donor/Sperm Donor
– Compensation for an Egg Donor/Sperm Donor
– Restriction for surrogacy to states that are same sex friendly
Family Makers Surrogacy understands and supports everyone building their family how they feel is the best way to do so. We are also familiar with all states surrogacy laws and will ensure you are matched with a surrogate who resides in a state that supports surrogacy for same sex couples, because surrogacy laws vary greatly from state to state. We take extra care while screening surrogates to ensure that any surrogate profile you are presented with is supportive of same sex marriage and wants to carry for a same sex couple.
Surrogacy for single parents by choice can be challenging for a few different reasons. Some states require an Intended Parent be married to be able to accept parentage of a child, which means you are restricted to states without such laws. It also means you will have to use some donor genetic material such as an Egg Donor or a sperm Donor. This person could be known or an anonymous donor, or you can also adopt embryos. However you choose to build your family, we are here to support you!
Family Makers Surrogacy will take the care needed to ensure that any surrogate profile presented to you understands that you are a single parent by choice and that they are supportive of that decision. We understand that becoming a single parent by choice is a huge decision and even bigger undertaking. Family Makers Surrogacy is here to help support you so that you and your surrogate always have someone to lean on during the journey. Our expert team and knowledge is priceless when it comes to such a major journey.
No two journeys are alike. Intended Parents and Gestational Surrogates have their own expectations and needs from the agency they work with. From screening, matching, embryo transfer and delivery, you are supported by our team and an assigned Case Manager. Intended Parents are supported by a former Intended Parent who understands their specific needs and perspective, while our Gestational Surrogates are supported by a knowledgable, experienced Surrogate who has completed her own journey and can relate specifically to their needs.
If you know very little about the surrogacy process and need constant support, or just need some extra handholding to ensure everything is done correctly, we tailor our support to meet your needs.Our goal is to bring valuable knowledge and unending support during every single phase of your experience with us. We are there to answer all of your questions and support you, from your first call with us until after your journey ends.
Founded by former Intended Parents, we understand that gestational surrogacy comes with many decisions. Picking the right agency, the right fertility clinic, and the right Surrogate are extremely important in encouraging a successful journey. We strive to go beyond our role as a responsible business by connecting with our clients on a very personal level.
As an Intended Parent herself, our Founder and Program Director Ashlee Hammonds understands the importance of offering transparent, affordable, and straightforward fees, as well as realistic timelines, continuous support, and thoughtful matching. We offer a variety of affordable programs to meet the needs of those we work with, rather than following a cookie-cutter approach.
Family Makers Surrogacy began by supporting those primarily in the greater Atlanta, Georgia and Southeastern states, and are proud to now assist Intended Parents throughout the United States to find their perfect match.
