Surrogacy is an arrangement where a woman (the surrogate) carries and delivers a baby for intended parents or individuals who are unable to carry a pregnancy themselves.
To qualify as a surrogate, applicants must be between 21 and 35 years old (up to 38 evaluated case-by-case), have carried at least one pregnancy to term without major complications, be currently raising a child, pass medical and background checks, and live in a stable, smoke-free home.
Intended parents begin with an initial consultation with our team to discuss preferences, legal requirements, timelines, and budget. From there, we begin the personalized matching process with pre-screened surrogates.
On average, the entire journey takes between 12 to 18 months from your initial consultation through matching, medical screening, embryo transfer, pregnancy, and delivery.
Surrogacy laws vary by state and country. Nova Hope Surrogacy works exclusively in surrogacy-friendly jurisdictions and partners with experienced reproductive attorneys to ensure full legal protection and parentage rights.
Surrogate compensation and expense reimbursements are managed securely through an independent licensed escrow account. Base compensation, monthly allowances, and medical expense coverage are detailed upfront in the legal contract.
We provide 24/7 dedicated support including case management, medical screening coordination, legal contract oversight, psychological counselling, travel assistance, and hospital delivery coordination.
Yes! Matching is a mutual decision. Both intended parents and surrogates review profiles and participate in a guided matching call before confirming the partnership.
