Step 1: Determine How You Want to Find a Surrogate Mother in Delaware

Your surrogate can live anywhere. You’re not restricted to partnering with a surrogate who lives in the same area as you. Most surrogate-intended parent relationships are actually long-distance. Delaware surrogacy laws even discuss how this works so that both parties are protected by their own state laws.

There are two different paths of how to find a surrogate mother in Delaware or anywhere in the United States:

Finding a surrogate with an agency:

When a woman is already signed on with an agency or matching program, she’s already been screened and has a surrogate profile. You’ll be able to view these profiles and match them with these waiting surrogates if you meet the program’s requirements. Agencies and matching programs that help you find a surrogate provide you with all the necessary services to complete your surrogacy process in full.

Looking for a surrogate mother in Delaware without an agency:

You’ll still need to work with a surrogacy attorney to handle the legal processes, but if you’re completing an independent surrogacy, you would need to find a Delaware surrogate for hire by using personal connections or advertising. You’ll need to vet this surrogate yourself and also arrange the necessary medical and legal processes.

Step 2: Match with Your Surrogate

When you start looking for a surrogate mother in Delaware or in any state, there are three different ways you can begin.  Depending on which option you choose, the process of finding a surrogate in Delaware (or any state) will vary slightly, so everyone’s surrogacy process will look a little different. Those three options are:

Partner with someone you know:

You may have chosen surrogacy as your path to parenthood because you already know someone who has committed to carrying your baby. In this situation, you’d need to call a surrogacy professional to ensure you’re all eligible and to handle the legal steps that are required by law in Delaware before you begin any medical processes. Even if you already know and trust the person you’d like to partner with, it’s necessary that everyone remain legally protected.

Find a surrogate through an agency:

You’ll need to meet the requirements of the state of Delaware and also those of the agency or matching program you work with. Then, you’ll be able to view profiles of pre-screened and waiting surrogates with the agency you could match with. You can also view available surrogate situations of surrogates you could immediately match with once you’ve met the screening requirements for intended parents.

Looking for a surrogate mother in DE without an agency:

Your surrogacy attorney may be able to give you tips about how to find a surrogate in Delaware or neighboring states. Most attorneys aren’t able to complete matching or screening services but may be able to offer suggestions on how to find a surrogate mom in Delaware or other states using “surrogate wanted” ads, surrogacy classifieds, networking and more. If you’re hiring a surrogate in Delaware on your own, always use caution, as you’ll be screening surrogates yourself and may be at an increased risk for scams.

Step 3: Begin the Surrogacy Process with Your Surrogate

Surrogacy is a one-of-a-kind experience, and it’s one that often bonds Delaware surrogates and intended parents for life. Every relationship between parents and surrogates is going to be unique. Consider what kind of relationship you’d like to have with a potential surrogate when choosing a surrogate mother, and select someone whose preferred partnership aligns with your own.

The creation of your surrogacy contract is an ideal opportunity to establish how much contact everyone prefers before, during and after the surrogacy process. This way, everyone understands what is expected of them and the social roles they’re being asked to take on during the surrogacy journey together.
