The Nurtured Path Difference
Redefining How Surrogacy Begins

Surrogate
"I've been a surrogate before with another agency, and the difference here was night and day. The organization, the communication, and the respect for my time made this journey so much smoother."
Sarah J.
Second Time Surrogate
Agency
"Before Nurtured Path, our matching queue was a rollercoaster. We’d have parents waiting for months, then a sudden flood of leads we couldn’t process. Partnering with them stabilized our inventory. We’ve doubled our monthly match rate simply because we now have a predictable supply of candidates."
Mark D.
Agency Founder | Los Angeles, CA
Agency
"We hesitated to outsource because we didn't want to feed a competitor. Nurtured Path’s neutrality model is the real deal. They stay in their lane—sourcing and screening—and let us own the relationship with the parents. They act like an extension of our team, not a rival agency."
David R.
CEO of FamilyForward | New York, NY
Surrogate
"I was terrified of the screening process, but Nurtured Path made me feel seen, not just evaluated. My coordinator explained every step clearly, so I never felt lost. Helping my IPs hold their baby was magic, but having an agency that actually cared about me made it possible."
Emily K.
First Time Surrogate
Surrogate
"Nurtured Path took the time to understand my values, not just my medical history. When I met my Intended Parents, we clicked instantly. It didn't feel like I was just working for them, it felt like we were a team building something beautiful together."
Tasha M.
First Time Surrogate
Agency
"We were burning $15k a month on Facebook ads with diminishing returns. Switching to Nurtured Path turned our fixed marketing costs into a variable cost. We stopped paying for 'maybe' leads and started paying only for actual matches. It’s the smartest operational shift we’ve made in five years."

What is the difference between Gestational Surrogacy and Traditional Surrogacy?
The main difference lies in genetics.
In Gestational Surrogacy (the only type Nurtured Path facilitates), the surrogate has no genetic link to the baby; she carries an embryo created via IVF using the Intended Parents' or donors' genetic material.
Traditional Surrogacy involves the surrogate using her own egg, meaning she is biologically related to the child. For legal and emotional clarity, our program focuses exclusively on gestational carriers.
How do I start the application process?
Getting started is simple. You can complete our initial online application in about 10 minutes. Once submitted, our team will review your details and reach out within 24 hours to discuss the next steps.
Why should I work with an agency instead of doing it independently?
An agency acts as your safety net and project manager. Independent surrogacy requires you to manage your own legal contracts, payment schedules, and medical coordination, which can be overwhelming. At Nurtured Path, we handle every logistical detail—from screening and matching to legal representation and counseling—so you can focus entirely on a healthy pregnancy while we handle any challenges that arise.
I submitted my application. What happens next?
After we receive your application, we will contact you within 1–2 business days. If you meet the initial criteria, you will get access to our secure Surrogate Portal. Here, you will complete the necessary intake forms, including your medical history, insurance details, and matching preferences. Once our team has reviewed your records, we will schedule a comprehensive screening call for you and your support person.
What happens during the social work screening call?
This call is a two-way conversation designed to educate and assess. A licensed social worker from our team will walk you through the journey, covering the IVF process, compensation, and legal steps. It is also your chance to ask any questions you have. On our end, we will discuss your motivation for becoming a surrogate and evaluate your emotional readiness and support system. Please note that your primary support person (partner or spouse) will also participate in this screening.

Agency FAQs
Agency FAQs
What is the difference between Gestational and Traditional Surrogacy?
The distinction comes down to genetics.
Gestational Surrogacy: The surrogate carries an embryo created via IVF using the Intended Parents' (or donors') genetic material. She has no genetic link to the child. This is the most common method and the only type of surrogacy Nurtured Path facilitates.
Traditional Surrogacy: The surrogate uses her own egg, making her biologically related to the child.
How do we start our journey with Nurtured Path?
It begins with a conversation. We invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation with our team. During this meeting, we will discuss your story, your family goals, and our program options. It is a no-pressure opportunity to ask questions (legal, financial, or medical) and see if we are the right fit for you.
Do I need a medical reason to use a surrogate?
Yes. At Nurtured Path, we require that Intended Parents have a diagnosed medical necessity for surrogacy (physical or psychological) verified by a treating physician. We do not currently facilitate "social surrogacy" (surrogacy purely as a lifestyle choice). We review every case individually, so if you are unsure if you qualify, please reach out to our intake team.
Can single individuals become parents through your program?
Absolutely. We proudly support Intended Parents of all backgrounds—whether you are a single individual, a same-sex couple, or a heterosexual couple. If you are ready to love and raise a child, we are ready to help you get there.
Will we have a relationship with our surrogate?
We certainly hope so! We view surrogacy as a partnership, not a transaction. We encourage open communication and meaningful relationships. Most parents visit their surrogate in her hometown at least once during the pregnancy to bond, meet her family, and see where their child is growing.
Where will the baby be born?
Your surrogate will deliver at a hospital near her home, typically with the OB/GYN she knows and trusts. Our legal and insurance teams vet these locations to ensure they are equipped to handle the birth. As Intended Parents, you will travel to her location for the delivery. Hospital policies vary, but we advocate for you to be present in the delivery room and to have a private room for you and the baby immediately after birth.
How does the legal process work?
Our legal team manages the entire landscape to secure your parental rights.
Before Birth: We match you with a surrogate in a state with favorable laws. We then negotiate the carrier contract and, in most cases, secure a "Pre-Birth Order" that declares you the legal parents before the baby arrives.
After Birth: Depending on the state, we finalize any remaining steps, such as Voluntary Acknowledgments of Paternity or judgments, to ensure your names are legally on the birth certificate.
