How to Find a Surrogate on Your Own

How to find a surrogate on your own

Find surrogate mother in Canada or USA is one of the most exciting but overwhelming phases of your surrogacy journey. It's really important that you learn about the surrogacy regulations that will apply to your state or province, because not always surrogacy is allowed everywhere.

The first step is to decide if you want to find a surrogate mother on your own or with the support of a surrogacy agency. 

Surrogacy sometimes can be a challenging process and some prospective parents decide to have the support of an agency to make it easy nevertheless it´s is possible to find surrogate mother on your own (this type of surrogacy is called independent surrogacy).

If you chose to move ahead without the advice of a surrogacy professional you should get in contact with a reputable family lawyer to learn as much as possible about the surrogacy laws in your country or state. As we explained at the beginning, surrogacy is not allowed everywhere, and sometimes, even if it's possible to pursue a surrogacy process, there could be some requirements to meet,

When searching for a surrogate on your own you should be willing to share your story with your friends and family and ask if they know of anyone, also you can ask them indirectly as well. Also you can contact with your fertility clinic and your family lawyer and ask if they know of anyone. If these two options don't work you can join some surrogacy groups online and forums.

Please note that just because you find someone willing to be your surrogate, it doesn't mean it will be the right match. It´s important before moving forward with a surrogate to ask as many questions as possible and be totally honest, to ensure both of you are on the same page.

Finding surrogate mother in Canada or the United States without the help of a surrogacy agency sometimes can be a challenging process, because you cannot do anything to move the process forward at times. But if you continue trying you will find the right match!
