89% of people approve of surrogacy to help build families, and that’s only continuing to increase, but have you ever really thought about what that means?
It means more women than ever are choosing to become a surrogate to help people struggling with IVF or medical issues, single people and members of the LGBTQ community fulfill their dream of becoming parents.
Surrogacy is the most successful fertility treatment and has risen in popularity and visibility in recent years. The process entails transferring an embryo created by the intended parents to a surrogate, through in vitro fertilization (“IVF”). The surrogate has no genetic or legal ties to the baby and is well compensated for her time and service. This win-win arrangement provides financial stability for the surrogate, in addition to the extraordinary fulfillment that comes from helping others’ parenthood dreams come true. ConceiveAbilities is a leading agency that prides itself on creating the best match for surrogates and intended parents alike.
The surrogate/parent partnership is one of the most intimate and valuable relationships humans can experience, and it’s crucial to ensure a strong foundation is built for this life-changing journey.

There’s never been a better time to consider surrogacy. Helping others to build a family is a breathtakingly unique experience that can enrich a woman’s life in countless ways. A surrogate’s superpower is building families. Is it yours? Hopeful parents are waiting for women like you to help make their dreams of a family come true. Visit ConceiveAbilities.com to learn more about surrogacy, check out qualification requirements, and discover if surrogacy is right for you.
As the surrogacy process has become increasingly common and more families have come forward with their experiences, a better picture of who becomes a surrogate and why has emerged. Today surrogacy is increasingly seen as an empowering, transformational process. It allows a woman the extraordinary opportunity and sense of purpose to give the gift of family to someone who otherwise wouldn’t be able to bear their own children. Studies show that surrogates are educated, informed, and compassionate individuals with a calling to help others. Family-oriented and sympathetic to infertility issues (often having witnessed them in a friend or loved one), these extraordinary women have the power to change lives for the better.
Samantha Beer felt a calling to be a surrogate to be able to give back and make someone’s dream of their own child come true. With Matching Matters, she was able to find the family she was meant to help, “I just can’t believe how insanely life-changing it has been.” Watch Samantha and her intended parents' surrogacy journey (video to the right).
ConceiveAbilities applauds and advocates for these brave humans with a thoughtful, comprehensive surrogacy process that ensures surrogates are protected and guided through each step of the surrogacy journey. And they love showing their love for these amazing women with monthly
care packages.

Their proprietary Matching Matters process first carefully considers multiple factors in order to connect a surrogate with a compatible family that most closely shares her values and expectations. This system has a 97% match success rate upon first meeting, proving the process is highly successful at pairing. Then, with the expert guidance of a dedicated match experience team, surrogates and intended parents are assisted throughout their matching experience to navigate all the twists and turns of the surrogacy process until, at last, a precious baby is home with its parents.
ConceiveAbilities has a 25-year history of providing first-class service to its surrogates; this experience and dedication results in the best surrogate support system available. By designing a superb "fourth trimester" experience with its groundbreaking All-In Care and Compensation Program, ConceiveAbilities creates a pathway for surrogates to emerge from their surrogacy experience healthier and stronger than ever, fueled by the power of the gift they've provided to a family. Each surrogate receives top-of-market compensation as well as monthly care packages, insurance guidance, and legal support to make sure her rights are protected and her voice is heard throughout the process.
In addition to championing the surrogate’s physical health, ConceiveAbilities also prioritizes mental health, with support groups and counselors standing by to assist her throughout the process and after delivery during the postpartum “fourth trimester.” The resources continue in their Surrogacy Learning Center, an online community that facilitates connection between surrogacy newcomers and those with experience in the field. This is a safe space for conversation and education for folks at every stage of the surrogacy journey.
