Decide How You’re Going to Find a Surrogate Mother

Remember: you’re not restricted to working with surrogates in Texas. Most intended parents/surrogate relationships are long-distance, and are just as successful as those who live near each other.

There are two ways you can learn how to find a surrogate in TX or anywhere in the United States:

  • Finding a surrogate with an agency involves matching with pre-screened women who are already signed on with the agency and searching for intended parents. Working with a surrogacy agency is like a “one-stop shop” for the entire surrogacy process.
  • If you want to learn how to find a surrogate mother without an agency, you’ll still need to hire a surrogacy attorney for the legal stages of the process, and then you can search for a surrogate on your own via networking or word-of-mouth. You’ll also usually screen potential surrogates on your own.

Create a TX Surrogacy Plan

You’ll explore the choices of the surrogacy process with your surrogacy professional (either your agency or your attorney) including how you want to find a surrogate mother, what your budget is like, how involved you want to be with your gestational surrogate and more.

If you’re working with a surrogacy agency, you’ll make an intended parent profile so that potential surrogate matches can view it and learn more about you and whether or not they might want to carry for you. Surrogacy agencies are able to identify prospective surrogates in Texas and throughout the U.S. who have similar surrogacy goals to your own, and who fit what you’re looking for in a gestational carrier.

However, surrogacy agencies require that you first complete all of their screening requirements, which typically include background checks and more, before you can proceed to the matching process.

How You’ll Match with Texas Surrogates (Or Out-of-State Surrogates)

Depending on whether or not you’re working with a surrogacy agency, the process of how to find a surrogate in TX or in any state will vary.

If you’re looking for a surrogate mother in TX with an agency:

If you’ve met all the requirements of your agency, you’ll be able to view profiles of potential surrogates you could be matched with. Prospective surrogates will also be viewing your intended parent profile, so if you’re both interested in one another, then you’re matched.

There are also available surrogate situations listed on many surrogacy agencies’ websites. So you could match with a waiting surrogate immediately if you’ve already met the requirements and completed the screening processes.

If you’re looking for a surrogate without an agency:

Your surrogacy attorney may have some suggestions about reaching out to women who’ve said they’d like to be a surrogate. Although most attorneys don’t provide searching, matching or screening services, they might have recommendations for how to find a surrogate mom in TX.

If you don’t already personally know someone who wants to be a surrogate for you, you can sometimes find a surrogate in Texas or throughout the U.S. via “surrogate wanted” ads, surrogacy classifieds, your friends or family or through social media.  You should also be cautious when hiring a surrogate on your own without a professional to screen candidates for you, as many intended parents have been scammed.

Parents and intended parents can match in an average of1 - 6 months when they work with our partner agency, American Surrogacy.

Getting to Know Your TX Surrogate

Some surrogates and intended parents are eager to stay in more frequent contact throughout the surrogacy process and even long after the baby is born. Others may prefer a more private relationship with infrequent contact.  While this is something that’s taken into consideration as early as the matching process, you’ll also have the opportunity to talk about the type of relationship you want to have with each other when you create your surrogacy contract together.

It’s worth noting that even when choosing a surrogate mother who lives outside of Texas, you can still share whatever relationship you wish to have. There are only a few key appointments where surrogates and intended parents will need to travel during the surrogacy process, and countless long-distance surrogate/intended parent relationships have found communication to be easy.

Surrogates and the families they touch always have a special place in each other’s hearts long after their surrogacy journey together has ended, regardless of whether or not they choose to stay in touch afterwards.
