Intro to Single-Parent Surrogacy


Navigating the world of parenthood can be a challenge for any parent from the time that you discover you are expecting through the child’s adulthood. They don’t say “it takes a village” for nothing. When you are a single individual who wants to expand their family through surrogacy, you will want to have that village behind you. For the duration of your surrogate mother’s pregnancy, labor, and delivery, our team at Baby Steps Surrogacy Center, Inc. will be right here, ready to help you in every way we can.

Why Some People Choose Single Parenthood

There are many different reasons why a person might choose to raise their child on their own. Perhaps they haven’t met the person they want to spend their life with yet but are ready to become a parent now; or maybe they simply have no desire to be in a relationship or married but have always longed to experience life as a parent. In any case, the reasons why someone would choose single parenthood are more or less irrelevant. The fact of the matter is that the intended parent has the desire to bring a child into this world but has no means to do so without the help of a surrogate mother or sperm, egg, or embryo donor.

Things to Consider When Choosing Your Surrogate

Once you have signed on to work with our surrogacy agency, we will begin presenting you with potential surrogate mother profiles for review. Their profile will contain all of the relevant, technical facts about the potential surrogate that you need to make an informed decision. Such details might include the type of surrogacy arrangement the surrogate is interested in pursuing, a family and/or medical history, and a little bit about themselves, their lifestyle, and their upbringing. But a few sheets of paper and a photo do little to tell you about who your possible surrogate is in person. That’s why you will have the opportunity to meet your potential matches and see which surrogate you have a connection with. In addition, since you have chosen to have your baby as a single parent, you will want to be sure that you have someone you can rely on and talk to when you are struggling to cope with some of the more emotional aspects of surrogacy.
