With ARTparenting’s complete surrogacy program, we handle every detail from your very first contact with us until the birth of the child.

For our surrogates in Illinois, there is no waiting to be matched. We consult with each gestational surrogate about the kind of family she would most like to help — whether she prefers intended parents who live locally or overseas, single or married, families that already have a child, same-sex couples, and other situations. A hallmark of our surrogacy program is the focus we place on matching intended parents and surrogates with care. Every match is a mutual decision and a true partnership.

The decision to become a surrogate

Becoming a surrogate is a life-changing choice that requires maturity, capability, and a generous nature. We know that raising children is one of the ultimate joys in life, and we admire the surrogates who share that joy with others. This is what inspires ARTparenting to bring surrogates and intended parents together to form families. You may find our blog post helps with your decision: “Becoming a Surrogate: Is it Right for Me?”

A gestational surrogate is a woman who carries a child conceived through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) using the intended mother’s eggs or an egg donor’s eggs. Therefore, the child will not be genetically related to the surrogate
