Why Parents in Colorado Choose Giving Tree Surrogacy
Our PRE-SCREENING PROCESS
At Giving Tree Surrogacy, we go beyond standard checks to protect your journey. Every surrogate completes background screenings, home evaluations, and insurance reviews. Medical records are also pre-approved by our team and IVF nurses before a profile is ever shared, reducing risks and increasing your chances of success.
The SHORTEST WAIT TIME
Families choose Giving Tree because of our unmatched speed. With 3–5 fully pre-screened surrogates added to our pool each week, most intended parents match in 3-6 months - far faster than the industry’s 12+ month average. And with 60% of our surrogates returning for a second journey, your perfect match comes with proven experience.
FIXED COST PROGRAM
A smarter and faster path to family building. Our Family Forward Guarantee™ Program offers intended parents: the shortest match time, plus financial protection (a fixed cost) AND an agency fee refund baby guarantee.
Intended Parents We Support in Colorado
Every path to parenthood deserves support. That’s why we proudly serve a diverse community of intended parents in Colorado, offering compassionate, ethical, and personalized guidance at every step of the surrogacy journey.
We work with heterosexual couples facing infertility, medical conditions such as cancer, uterine issues, or multiple failed IVF attempts, LGBTQIA+ couples navigating unique legal and emotional considerations, and single parents by choice pursuing parenthood independently. We also support intended parents living with HIV through the SPAR program, in partnership with leading fertility clinics that follow strict medical protocols to ensure safety and success.
Our team guides you through every stage—from legal planning and donor selection to embryo creation and surrogate matching—providing clarity, support, and peace of mind so you can focus on what truly matters: building your family.
Colorado Surrogacy Laws
Colorado is considered one of the most surrogacy-friendly states in the country. The state provides a clear and inclusive legal framework that supports both intended parents and gestational surrogates, offering a secure and transparent path to establishing legal parentage. Courts in Colorado routinely recognize gestational surrogacy agreements and issue pre-birth parentage orders, allowing intended parents to be listed on the birth certificate from the start.
Under Colorado law, surrogacy agreements must be signed before any medical procedures begin, and both parties—the intended parents and the surrogate—must have independent legal counsel. Once the agreement is properly executed, the intended parents can obtain a pre-birth court order confirming their legal parentage. This order ensures that their names appear on the baby’s birth certificate and that the surrogate’s parental rights are fully and respectfully terminated.
Colorado welcomes all types of families, including single parents, married or unmarried couples, and LGBTQIA+ intended parents. The state’s inclusive and well-defined process provides clarity, protection, and peace of mind for everyone involved, whether they reside in Colorado or come from out of state.
At Giving Tree Surrogacy, we guide intended parents and surrogates through each step of this process with compassion and precision. Every surrogacy agreement we coordinate clearly outlines medical, emotional, and logistical responsibilities, details the steps for establishing legal parentage, and sets forth all financial terms allowed by law. Our team works closely with experienced reproductive law attorneys in Colorado to ensure that your journey complies with state requirements and proceeds smoothly from start to finish.
Obtaining a pre-birth order is strongly recommended, as it allows the intended parents to be legally recognized from the moment of birth, ensuring a smooth hospital experience and eliminating uncertainties. With trusted legal guidance and agency support, Colorado offers a safe, inclusive, and reliable pathway to building your family through surrogacy.
