What is surrogacy?
Understanding Gestational Surrogacy
Surrogacy is a path to parenthood where a woman — called a gestational surrogate — carries and delivers a baby for someone who can't carry a pregnancy themselves.
In gestational surrogacy (the only kind Giving Tree facilitates), the surrogate has no genetic connection to the baby. The embryo is created through IVF using the intended parents' own egg and sperm, or donor genetics, and transferred to the surrogate to carry. She simply carries and cares for the baby during the pregnancy and is not the biological parent.
It's a fully legal, medically supervised process, guided every step of the way by fertility clinics, independent attorneys, and an agency team who make sure everyone involved — intended parents and surrogate alike — is protected and supported from matching through birth.
Who we help?
There's a path here for you.
Surrogacy makes parenthood possible for those who cannot carry a pregnancy on their own.
Every family is different, and we're here to support you on your specific path to parenthood.
Heterosexual Couples Facing Infertility
If IVF or other fertility treatments haven't worked, surrogacy offers another path to parenthood — using your own embryos or donor eggs or sperm, with the support and guidance you need throughout the journey.
People Living with HIV
For people living with HIV, surrogacy can offer a supportive path to parenthood, with experienced guidance through the medical, legal, and logistical steps involved in building a family safely and with confidence.
Single Intended Parents
Single fathers and single mothers have been successfully building families through surrogacy with us for over a decade. You don't need a partner to be an amazing parent. You need a guide who makes the legal and financial side simple.
LGBTQ+ Individuals & Couples
Gay couples and LGBTQ+ individuals have been building loving families through surrogacy with our dedicated guidance for over a decade. Adoption isn't your only option, and it isn't your easiest one.
International Intended Parents
At Giving Tree, we understand the complexities of coming to the U.S. for surrogacy. And for over a decade we've guided hundreds of families from outside the U.S. through the legal, medical, and logistical steps of surrogacy in America.
Cancer Survivors
Cancer treatment can affect fertility, but it doesn't have to affect your dream of parenthood. Whether you preserved eggs or embryos before treatment, or are exploring donor options now, surrogacy remains a real path to building your family.
How much does surrogacy cost?
The cost of surrogacy in the U.S. typically ranges from $150,000 to $220,000.
At Giving Tree Surrogacy, full gestational surrogacy programs range from $149,500 to $185,000, allowing Intended Parents to choose the level of financial predictability that best fits their needs. Fixed-cost programs provide a defined total investment from the start, while pay-as-you-go options offer more flexibility, with costs paid as services and milestones occur throughout the journey.

3 Paths to Parenthood
Some intended parents require a surrogate, while others need an egg donor and a surrogate to build their family. Find the program that best fits your needs below.
