6 Steps to Becoming a Surrogate with Conceptual Options:
The process of becoming a surrogate with Conceptual Options involves six key steps, as outlined on their website and detailed in their surrogacy resources. These steps are designed to ensure that prospective surrogates are well-prepared, supported, and matched appropriately while prioritizing their health, emotional well-being, and the needs of intended parents.
Step #1
Step #2
Step #3
Step #4
Complete a full medical exam, including OB-GYN evaluation, infectious disease screening, and reproductive health assessment by a fertility specialist. Your BMI must be under 32, and you must have a history of complication-free pregnancies.
Meet with a mental health professional to discuss your feelings about surrogacy and ability to handle emotional challenges, such as carrying a child you’re not genetically related to. Your spouse or partner may also be evaluated.
Background Checks: Both you and your spouse/partner undergo criminal and background checks to ensure a safe process.
The agency coordinates all screenings, provides clear explanations, and ensures you’re prepared for each step.
Step #5
Step #6
Medical Process: Undergo IVF at a fertility clinic, where an embryo (created from the intended parents’ or donors’ egg and sperm) is transferred to your uterus. Attend local monitoring appointments to ensure your body is ready.
Pregnancy: Receive routine prenatal care, with Conceptual Options coordinating with your OB-GYN. Confirm pregnancy via beta tests and ultrasound (around 6-7 weeks for heartbeat). Transition to your OB-GYN around 10-12 weeks.
Delivery: Deliver the baby, typically with the intended parents present, and hand over the child as per the legal agreement. Post-delivery, you enter postpartum recovery, with support from the agency.

Testimonials
What our Surrogates say
I just completed my very first surrogacy with conceptual options and it was a great experience. It took me a while to get pregnant due to no fault of my own, but they were very supportive throughout my entire journey. I was always in contact with my case workers and the agency placed me with an amazing family who will always be a part of my life. I gave birth to their beautiful daughter in December and it was the most amazing experience for me. I would definitely recommend their agency and will probably be a surrogate again with them.
Extremely professional and compassionate group! I had many questions about becoming a surrogate, something I've thought about doing for a while now. I met with Tina, who was very patient and answered all me questions. Everyone there has been extremely nice and have always guided me in the right direction. Would recommend to anyone! Great job guys!

More about
Surrogate Screening
and Matching
We like to consider Surrogate Screening one of our top priorities at Conceptual Options. Not only do Surrogates have to pass through our tough Surrogate Requirements, but they will also talk with our in-house Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who will evaluate the potential Surrogate Mother and help determine whether Surrogacy is the right fit for them. One of our Client Relations Managers will also discuss what level of contact the potential Surrogate applicant is comfortable with, whether she is comfortable with carrying multiple babies or just one, and whether her goals align with yours as the Intended Parents.
When it comes to matching you with your potential Surrogate Mother we take into account all of these things, including levels of privacy wanted from all parties, and use our Surrogate Database and one of our expert Client Relations Managers to match you with someone who shares the same goals and preferences as you do. Remember, at this point in this process, no upfront costs have been paid. No costs are paid until you have been matched with your Surrogate, Egg Donor, Sperm Donor, Clinic, and Lawyer, and then a retainer for services is signed. No waiting lists and no up-front fees.
FAQ
What is the process to become a surrogate with Conceptual Options?
You start by filling out a short application, followed by a detailed screening process including in-person interviews, psychological evaluations, medical records review, infectious disease screening, and a criminal background check. Once approved, you’re matched with intended parents. The process is guided by the Surrogate Relations Team.
What are the requirements to qualify as a surrogate?
You must be 21–39 years old, have given birth to and be raising at least one child, have a BMI between 18–32, be a non-smoker and non-drug user, have a history of uncomplicated pregnancies, and no criminal history.
What is the difference between gestational and traditional surrogacy?
Gestational surrogacy involves carrying an embryo created via IVF with no genetic link to the surrogate. Traditional surrogacy, which Conceptual Options does not practice, involves the surrogate’s own eggs, making her the biological mother.
How long does the surrogacy process take?
The process, including screening, matching, medical procedures, and pregnancy, typically takes 12–15 months.
How are surrogates matched with intended parents?
Conceptual Options matches based on preferences like location, insurance, and personal goals. Redacted profiles are exchanged, followed by a video call. Both parties must agree before proceeding to medical screening.
What kind of support does Conceptual Options provide to surrogates?
We offer a community with events, monthly raffles, psychological support, group activities, and 24/7 agency availability for emergencies. A comprehensive benefits package and competitive compensation are included.
What compensation can a surrogate expect?
Compensation varies based on the agreement with intended parents, covering expenses like medical costs, lost wages, and a base fee for commercial surrogacy. Specific amounts depend on factors like experience and location. Base compensation varies between $60,000 – $80,000+. Experienced surrogates can get much more.
Are there legal or medical risks involved?
Surrogacy involves legal and medical complexities. Working with an experienced agency like Conceptual Options minimizes risks by ensuring proper legal contracts, medical screenings, and expert guidance.
Can I choose the intended parents I work with?
Yes, you can specify preferences for the type of intended parents (e.g., single, same-sex, or heterosexual couples) and review profiles to ensure a comfortable match.
What happens if the embryo transfer fails?
Surrogates typically agree to up to three embryo transfers within a year. If unsuccessful, the agency facilitates rematching or further attempts based on the agreement.
