What does Global Surrogacy Services help with?
Global Surrogacy Services (GSS) coordinates gestational surrogacy support for intended parents and surrogates. The team helps with inquiry routing, application review, matching coordination, medical and legal process coordination, pregnancy-related communication, and next-step guidance. Exact services depend on whether you contact GSS as an intended parent, prospective surrogate, egg donor, or existing client.
What is gestational surrogacy?
Gestational surrogacy means the surrogate carries a pregnancy for intended parents without a genetic connection to the baby. The embryo is created through IVF using eggs and sperm from the intended parents or donors, depending on the family-building plan.
How do I start a surrogate application?
Start by completing the surrogate application. The application asks for basic information so GSS can review your eligibility before discussing screening, compensation details, records review, and matching. Ready to become a surrogate?
Who qualifies to become a surrogate?
GSS currently asks prospective surrogates to meet starting criteria such as being between 21 and 38 years old, having had a successful pregnancy before, and currently raising a child. Final surrogate requirements depend on medical, psychological, background, records, residence, and legal review. Review our requirements here.
Does submitting a surrogate application guarantee acceptance?
No. Submitting a surrogate application starts the review process. It does not guarantee approval, matching, pregnancy, or compensation. The GSS team reviews each applicant before moving forward with more detailed screening.
How much are surrogates compensated?
Surrogate compensation depends on eligibility, approval, matching, benefits, allowances, reimbursements, and confirmed program details. GSS should confirm the current compensation range before publishing exact numbers. Prospective surrogates receive more specific information after the initial application review.
How do intended parents begin with GSS?
Intended parents can contact Global Surrogacy Services to ask about consultations, matching, cost planning, egg donation, and agency coordination. The first conversation helps the team understand your family-building goals, location, timeline questions, and support needs.
How does surrogate matching work?
Surrogate matching involves screening, profile review, compatibility considerations, mutual agreement, and later medical and legal clearance steps. A match only moves forward when the required parties and professionals complete the appropriate review steps.
How much does surrogacy cost?
Surrogacy cost varies based on agency fees, surrogate compensation, IVF clinic costs, legal services, insurance, travel, escrow, egg donation if needed, and other case-specific factors. Intended parents should request a consultation for cost planning rather than relying on one flat estimate.
Does GSS work with egg donors?
Global Surrogacy Services provides egg donation information and coordination where appropriate. Potential donors and intended parents should contact GSS to confirm current donor options, screening requirements, compensation details, and next steps.
Can I ask a question that is not answered here?
Yes! Contact Global Surrogacy Services through the contact page or call 800-355-2009 during business hours. A team member can route your question based on whether you are a prospective surrogate, intended parent, egg donor, or existing client.
