Gestational Surrogacy — warm inclusive family-building support in San Diego

Services / Fertility & IVF

Growing your family through gestational surrogacy.

When carrying a pregnancy isn't possible or advisable, a gestational carrier offers a hopeful path — with expert medical care at its center.

What it is

In gestational surrogacy, an embryo created through IVF (using intended parents' or donor eggs and sperm) is carried by a gestational carrier who has no genetic link to the child.

Who it's for

  • Intended parents who can't carry a pregnancy for medical reasons, same-sex male couples, and single fathers by choice.
