Surrogacy 101
The Basics Before You Begin
Before you apply, it’s important to understand how modern surrogacy works. We prioritize Gestational Surrogacy, ensuring clarity, safety, and no genetic link between you and the baby.
Your Life Doesn't Stop
Your Life Doesn't Stop
You can be a surrogate while working, going to school, or raising your own family. You are already a "boss babe" in your daily life; surrogacy is designed to integrate into your schedule, not take it over.
Financial Freedom
Financial Freedom
You can bring an additional $65,000 – $70,000+ into your household. Plus, you are fully reimbursed for childcare, lost wages, and medical expenses—so you never pay a penny out of pocket.
You Choose the Parents
You Choose the Parents
You are able to match with intended parents you choose. This is your journey, too! We ensure you match with a family that aligns with your values, so the connection feels right from day one.
No Genetic Link
No Genetic Link
Science is amazing. In gestational surrogacy, you are NOT related to the baby in any way. You provide the safe, nurturing environment for the baby to grow, but the genetics come from the intended parents or donors.
Your Health Comes First
Your Health Comes First
Our screening process is rigorous because your safety is our priority. We ensure you are medically and emotionally ready for this journey before you ever sign a contract.
Legally Protected
Legally Protected
Every surrogacy journey is governed by a comprehensive legal contract. You will have your own attorney (paid for by the intended parents) to ensure your rights and compensation are fully protected.
You Are Never Alone

FAQs
Getting You the Answers You Need.
Surrogacy is a big commitment, and it’s normal to have questions. Here are honest answers to the things potential surrogates ask us most.
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.
