Who is surrogacy in the USA suitable for?
In the USA, there is no requirement for a documented medical reason for involuntary childlessness to undergo a surrogacy process. There is also no requirement that you must be married or cohabiting.
- The surrogacy program in the USA is suitable for everyone.
- Surrogacy processes are carried out here for heterosexual and same-sex couples as well as for single individuals.

Benefits of surrogacy in the USA
Surrogacy in the USA has long been well-established in several states, and the fertility clinics have extensive experience with the process. There is an opportunity to have a close and direct relationship with the surrogate if the intended parent and the surrogate so wish. The child also automatically receives US citizenship.
Surrogates in the USA
- The health and well-being of the surrogate are of the highest priority. The surrogate mothers participating in these programs reside in states within the USA where surrogacy is both permitted and regulated.
- In common parlance, “surrogate mother” is frequently used. However, in the USA, the term Surrogate, Carrier, or Gestational Carrier is preferred to clearly indicate that the woman carrying the child has no biological connection to the child.
Criterias to become a surrogate in the USA
- Are in the age range 21 – 40 years. Have a financially & socially stable living situation. Have had at least one full-term pregnancy and complication-free delivery. Have not had more than three caesarean sections. Have no sexually transmitted infections.
- Is a non-smoker and not exposed to passive smoking at home or at work. Is willing to abstain from consuming alcohol throughout the pregnancy. Lives in a state where surrogacy is allowed and regulated.
The surrogate matching process in the USA
- In the initial stages, the clinic makes an assessment to ensure that the surrogate meets the criteria to participate in the program. In the matching process that follows, the surrogate and intended parent choose each other based on respective wishes in the process and after meeting each other.
- Once matched, the final part of the medical process for approval takes place. The continued treatment and follow-up of the surrogate mothers are done at the clinic. During the embryo transfer, the surrogate travels to the clinic, and you have direct contact throughout the surrogacy process if you have agreed on this.

Egg donation with surrogacy in the USA
Through our partners, Nordic Surrogacy offers some of the largest databases of screened egg donors in the USA. This provides access to a wide selection of egg donors.
All egg donors come from the USA, and the profiles contain detailed information, such as the reason for their choice to donate, education, interests, and family medical history. A genetic report is also available.
Live birth guarantee program in the USA
- In the USA, we have developed several programs with a so-called “live birth guarantee” using egg donation to create financial security and accessibility for more people.
- This means that parts of a surrogacy process, such as egg donation, embryo creation, embryo screening, the legal process at the destination, including coordination and support, are carried out as many times as needed until you become parents.
- The difference between this and other programs is that in other programs you continuously pay for costs that arise if parts of the process need to be repeated.
HIV and other infectious diseases in surrogacy in the USA
Nordic Surrogacy is proud to offer opportunities even for couples and single individuals living with HIV or other infectious diseases. Intended parents travel to the clinic in the USA to provide genetic material, which is then washed and tested before the IVF process is carried out. The process is very safe and prevents viruses and diseases from being transmitted to the fetus or the surrogate.

- We’re an agency that offers full service, and you get a personal coordinator who guides you through the entire process. We, together with our partners at the destination, take care of the practical matters, are available to answer questions along the way, and provide support.

- With us, you receive comprehensive service in all programs. We want to make parenthood possible and accessible to everyone. We always strive to offer competitive prices for comparable services. We can do this because we work directly with the clinics and with partners for the surrogate, the legal aspects in the USA, client fund management, and insurance.
- The surrogacy process is safe for all involved parties from a legal and medical perspective. This applies to the surrogate, the child, and the intended parents. The local legal process in the USA is included in all programs.
Legal support for surrogacy in the USA
We collaborate with lawyers in the USA who will follow you through the entire legal process. The services include agreements between the intended parents and the surrogate as well as the child’s registration with authorities immediately after birth.
After birth, a legal process follows, which concludes with the child receiving a US passport, allowing the child to go to your home country. The American lawyer assists with this process. Then follows a process for the child to receive local registration with the authorities in your home country.
