Trust our family to help grow yours!
Gay Surrogacy
The desire to build a family for a gay couple, gay single or transgender prospective parent, is openly accepted at Surrogate Alternatives, Inc. (SAI). For more than twenty six wonderful years, SAI has had the pleasure of assisting many gay intended parents globally through successful LGBTQIA surrogacy and egg donation arrangements.
Many gay intended parents require the assistance of both an egg donor and a gestational surrogate in order to create their family, and SAI is completely capable of assisting with both of these types of arrangements. Through experience, knowledge and care, SAI will gladly help you to achieve your dream of becoming a parent through third party reproduction. We understand that your situation is different from that of a heterosexual couple choosing surrogacy after many years of struggling with infertility, and therefore it requires the attention and involvement of a well-educated agency experienced in providing surrogacy for gay couples.
As gay intended parents, third party reproduction offers a more convenient parenting option to building tomorrow’s families today. Often, intended parents may have considered adoption as a possible option, but realize the difficulty being gay may pose on their ability to adopt. With the assistance of an egg donor and a gestational surrogate, gay intended parents are provided with the ability to have children biologically related to them, as well as to be recognized as the rightful and legal parents under California surrogacy and egg donation laws. For many gay male couples, the mere possibility of having children together through this amazing process of surrogacy for gay parents is remarkable in itself. As a gay male couple, whether legally married or partnered, in this gay surrogacy process, you have the ability to create and build your family together. By choosing the same egg donor, sharing fertilization and transferring an embryo biologically related to each of you into your surrogate, your dream could truly come true together with surrogacy for gay parents.
During your free consultation, your agency director will explain the process in its entirety and answer all questions or concerns you may have. You will be provided information on all areas of the process, including medical, psychological, legal and financial requirements. The agency director will ask you a series of important questions, in order to understand your specific desires and goals for the process, and to ensure you are prepared and knowledgeable prior to beginning your journey to parenthood.
Should you choose SAI to assist you in looking for gay surrogacy options in California, you can rest assured you will be in good and reputable hands every step of the way. Your agency director will be able to provide you with exceptional advice and guidance as you research all options available to you during this unique process, providing you with exceptional service throughout your entire journey to parenthood.
Finding a Surrogate
If you are searching for a surrogate, you have come to the right place.

SAI has pre-screened all accepted surrogates to ensure they have met the requirements and qualifications for our program, prior to becoming available to view by any intended parent.

To find a surrogate for gay couples, the agency director assisting you through the matching process will provide you with detailed profiles of current available surrogate candidates. After you have identified surrogates of interest to you, the agency director will compare the candidates to your specific preferences and provide you with additional recommendations and guidance to ensure you have the largest selection of possible surrogate profiles from which to choose.
Many intended parents have specific preferences when looking at surrogate candidates and at times surrogates have certain preferences when considering which intended parents they want to help. SAI takes great pride in our matching process and holds both parties’ wishes in high regard.
Once the surrogate has viewed the intended parent’s profile and confirmed her interest, the agency director will arrange for a meeting between you and the surrogate. Typically, this meeting occurs by phone, Skype, Zoom or in person if at all possible. Once a mutual match agreement has been made between you and a surrogate, SAI will provide you with detailed instructions for your arrangement and begin guiding all parties through the rest of the process, ensuring the journey is expedited, enjoyable and memorable.

Finding an Egg Donor
Finding an Egg Donor to assist you through third party reproduction can be challenging, especially when considering the large number of egg donor profiles available for viewing within an agency’s database. Your agency director is there to help make the search as easy and time saving as possible for you. Let us help narrow down the candidates for you, based off your expressed preferences and in consideration of your financial and geographical situation.
SAI is here to listen and guide you through this important process. We understand that for many prospective parents the very thought of not being able to use their own biological material in conceiving their child can be an emotional hurdle in itself. With consideration and care from SAI you will never feel alone during the egg donor selection process. Your agency director is there to help you find an egg donor make you feel as comfortable as possible.
Starting the process for surrogacy seemed overwhelming. We felt a lot better after we discovered SAI online and had our first Skype call with SAI. It was immediately obvious that they had an incredible amount of expertise and experience working with gay couples from out of state. SAI often answered our questions before we even thought to ask them. Without hesitation we contracted with SAI. Everyone at SAI were always available to answer questions by email, phone, or Skype. They really got to know us and connected us with our ideal egg donor and surrogate. SAI helped us navigate the legal paperwork and offered helpful advice for working with our surrogate. We were so happy to have SAI visit us in the hospital the day after our twins were born because she helped make our dream of being dads become a reality.
All Smiles now thanks to SAI,
