LGBTQ+ Family Building Through Surrogacy and Egg Donation

Open Arms Surrogacy & Egg Donation supports LGBTQ+ individuals and couples building families through surrogacy and egg donation, including same-sex couples and single intended parents. Your family deserves a process that is affirming, well-informed, and centered on your goals. Every family is different, and we begin by listening.

Two fathers at home, each holding a baby

How does surrogacy work for same-sex couples?

A typical journey for two intended fathers may involve IVF, an egg donor, and a gestational surrogate. The fertility clinic directs the medical plan, while independent reproductive counsel advises on donor agreements, surrogacy agreements, parentage, and other legal requirements. Open Arms Surrogacy & Egg Donation helps coordinate donor or surrogate matching, communication, and the practical steps that connect the journey.

We coordinate the agency experience while experienced fertility clinics and independent reproductive attorneys guide the medical and legal components. Because parentage law, birth certificate procedures, and other legal requirements vary by jurisdiction and family structure, qualified reproductive counsel is essential from the beginning.

Frequently asked questions

How do we begin?
Start with a private consultation. We will learn about your family-building goals, fertility clinic or treatment plan, embryos if applicable, timing, location, and whether your journey may involve surrogacy, egg donation, or both.
Do we need embryos before contacting Open Arms?
Not necessarily. Some intended parents contact Open Arms Surrogacy & Egg Donation while they are still planning IVF or donor treatment. The right timing depends on your clinic plan, embryo status, matching goals, and the type of journey you are considering.
Can we choose our surrogate or egg donor?
You make the final decision to proceed with any potential match. Open Arms Surrogacy & Egg Donation facilitates an informed, respectful process and gives you an opportunity to review the information available and ask questions before moving forward.
