The Steps of Surrogacy
At Elevate, we work with hundreds and hundreds of intended parents every year. Having an extensive client pool allows Elevate Surrogates to be extra choosy when it comes to the match. It’s more than us exceeding your expectations and meeting your preferences. It’s about connection. It’s about trust.

Meet Our Team
At Elevate, our team is comprised of previous surrogates, intended parents, and birth experts. We use our experience and personal connection to ensure your experience as a surrogate is a rewarding and unforgettable one. After you meet with an Elevate team member, you will receive a link to our Matching Questionnaire.

Matching Questionnaire
The Matching Questionnaire consists of over 40 data points that will help us understand your expectations and preferences once completed. This questionnaire is your chance to let us know exactly the type of experience you are hoping for – and there are no wrong answers. We use a sophisticated software reporting system that cross references your preferences with our current client base.

Review Parent Bios
All Elevate Intended Parents have completed a similar questionnaire to yours. After narrowing down possible matches, we use our personal experience with you and our intended parents to decide which profile to present to you. We don’t want you to have to sort through hundreds of profiles; we do the heavy lifting for you and will offer one best-fit profile at a time. After we have narrowed down a potential match, we will present the Intended Parent’s bio to you to look over.

Meet Intended Parents
If you feel excited about the potential match, we will set up a time for you to meet the Intended Parents at a convenient time for you. After meeting, you get to make the final decision whether or not the match is right for you.
Although our Elevate screening process takes some time, most Elevate surrogates find their match within one week once cleared by our agency. This quick match-time is possible because we actively start matching you behind the scenes during your onboarding period.
Surrogate Benefits
One size does not fit all.
There are innumerable rewarding benefits to becoming a surrogate, and financial considerations are an important piece of the puzzle. Even though we are looking for gestational carriers who are not solely financially motivated, we want to make sure that while you are performing such a generous act for another family, your own family will greatly benefit as well. At Elevate, we value the selfless, compassionate women who provide this essential service to Intended Parents. We ensure they are well-compensated for their commitment to this special process.
