为什么成为代孕母亲
Whether you’re exploring what being a surrogate involves, learning about qualifications and compensation, or simply feel inspired to help create a family, this is the perfect place to begin. No matter where you are in your journey, whether curious, ready, or just exploring, this is where you start.
What is a Surrogate Mother?
A surrogate mother is a woman who carries and delivers a baby for another individual or couple, known as the intended parents.
Through a structured and supportive surrogacy process, she helps intended parents grow their families, with no legal or parental rights to the child she delivers.
At Giving Tree Surrogacy, surrogates are supported, valued, and guided every step of the way as they make this incredible gift possible.
