SURROGACY
Surrogacy is not a simple process. To the contrary, it's complicated. Although its a personal journey, it's a legal, medical, social and emotional process. It’s a unique partnership between hopeful parents and surrogates.  It’s a collaborative effort between them and their legal, medical and surrogacy professionals to bring a new life into the world.

If you’re new to surrogacy, whether as a prospective surrogate, a hopeful parent, or just someone who is interested in learning more about the various ways a family can be built, it can be difficult to know where to start. We're here to help you in any way possible!

Types of Surrogacy

There are two types of Surrogacy…Gestational and Traditional

In traditional surrogacy, a surrogate mother is artificially inseminated by the intended father or an anonymous donor. The child is therefore related to both the surrogate mother, who provides the egg, and the intended father or anonymous donor. This complicates the process and gives the surrogate the right to challenge her parental rights to the baby after the baby is born.  Many states prohibit Traditional Surrogacy Agreements.

In gestational surrogacy, an egg is removed from the intended mother or an anonymous donor and fertilized with the sperm of the intended father or anonymous donor. The fertilized egg, or embryo, is then transferred to a surrogate. The child is genetically related to the woman who donated the egg and the intended father or sperm donor, but not the surrogate. Creating an Angel processes Gestational Surrogacy!

UNLOCKING your door to Parenthood

Intended Parents? Who are you?

Intended parents are those people who have tried for years to conceive and have a biological child naturally.  For many different reasons, they were unable to do so.   Some families have even tried IVF. They so longed to be parents that they researched and learned that surrogacy was another way to achieve their dream.

Optimize Fertility

Our Commitment

Clients of Creating an Angel, will be matched to the perfect Surrogate! You will be able to view profiles of approved Surrogates who are compassionate and understand the importance of confidentiality.  Both our Surrogates and Intended Parents have gone through the arduous screening process and have been approved and ready to begin the process. Our staff and colleagues are open, honest, and compassionate.  Each of our clients is unique with their own individual needs.  We will explore your options with you and devise a plan that’s yours and yours alone.

Intended parents can include couples and single people; there is no “typical” intended parent.

• Single women who cannot carry a child to term themselves, due to infertility or health risks
• Same-sex female couples who cannot carry a child themselves

• Medically unable to have children

While intended parents who are older are more likely to struggle with infertility, many intended parents are younger as well.

We are aware that many families exist that are longing for the love of a child!  We have experienced the same aching and longing ourselves which is why we are passionate about our work.
