Surrogacy Process & Timeline

We’ve designed a process for intended parents that balances precision with compassion, giving

clarity, security, and peace of mind at every milestone of your journey.

How Long Does Surrogacy Take?

Intended parents can expect, on average, a surrogacy journey to be 18-24+ months. The amount of time your surrogacy journey requires may be more or less, depending on availability, readiness, and personal circumstances. Factors that can affect the timeline include: Embryo readiness, legal requirements in your state, and pregnancy outcomes may affect your specific timeline.
