Become a Surrogate in Alabama

As a potential surrogate, it is important to understand what surrogacy is and what the difference between the two different types of surrogacy is. The two main types of surrogacy are traditional surrogacy and gestational surrogacy. At Elevate Baby, we only offer gestational surrogacy services. However, it is still beneficial to understand the difference between traditional and gestational surrogacy so that potential surrogates can have a better understanding of why we feel gestational surrogacy is the best route to take for an overall joyful surrogacy experience. 

Gestational surrogacy is when the surrogate mother has no biological link to the child they will carry for the intended parents. On the other hand, traditional surrogacy does allow for the child to have a biological link to the surrogate mother. We don’t offer traditional surrogacy at Elevate Baby due to the fact that this biological link between the surrogate and child they carry can lead to issues down the road in regards to legal custody of the child. 

When working with Elevate Baby, our surrogacy professionals will work to match surrogates with intended parents looking to use gestational surrogacy to help them build a family. If potential surrogates feel ready to take the next step in the surrogacy journey, our team can explain more about the qualifications needed to become a surrogate in Alabama.
