Can I become a surrogate if I have a history of infertility?

Many women with infertility histories can still become gestational carriers, depending on the cause. If infertility was due to male factors, IVF embryos can allow successful surrogacy. Female infertility causes unrelated to the uterus often still allow for gestational carrier eligibility.

Intended parents know all to well that sometimes people say the wrong thing about surrogacy. Let them tilt their heads and say that they could never become parents this way. That's their journey, and you know that this wasn't your first choice either. There is still joy in the journey, especially the end result!

Surrogacy isn’t awkward—it’s intentional, meaningful, and rooted in care.

What’s something most people don’t realize about surrogacy?

It’s not just about helping a family — it’s about the incredible experiences along the way.

The connections you build.
The excitement you share.
And the moment you know you helped make someone’s dream come true.

Janelle experienced that journey, and it’s something she’ll carry with her forever.
