Social surrogacy offers busy, career-minded women a chance to still have biological children of their own without interrupting or risking their lives. There is no need to risk a successful career with a possible life-halting pregnancy. This process still enables you to be a large part of the pregnancy by going with the surrogate mother to all doctor visits. The ability to experience seeing the baby on ultrasounds and hearing the baby’s heartbeat is amazing. You can still feel the baby kick and watch the baby grow, all from an outside perspective. Here at Conceptual Options, we have many clients who choose to come to our agency for “social surrogacy.”

Become a surrogate with our agency

The short answer to that question is that you will see your surrogate as often or as little as you like. The relationship that expectant parents form with their surrogates is unique to the people involved.  At Conceptual Options, you participate in the matching and relationship-building process with your surrogate before you ever meet them. The experts at Conceptual Options are dedicated to ensuring that each match is the perfect one to create a new family.  As part of this process, parents and surrogates are asked to consider what type of communication level each party wants.

For example, a couple who wants constant, regular contact with their surrogate shouldn’t be paired with a surrogate who only wants contact after doctor appointments. Or doesn’t want any contact throughout the process.  To guarantee that the process goes smoothly and has the best result for all parties, questions like that must be asked and answered very early to start with the same expectations.
