Surrogacy is an assisted reproduction method where a woman (the surrogate mother) carries and delivers a baby for intended parents. With IVF-based gestational surrogacy, embryos are created using the intended parent’s or donor’s eggs/sperm and transferred to the surrogate—ensuring the surrogate has no genetic link to the child.
The global framework for surrogacy varies drastically. Some countries offer full legal protections (USA, Georgia), some only permit altruistic arrangements (Canada), while others restrict programs to eligible residents (India).
Indian Egg Donors guides intended parents through these differences to ensure a safe, ethical, legally compliant journey tailored to their goals and location.

No. Surrogacy laws in the U.S. vary by state. Many states like California, Nevada, and Illinois are fully surrogacy-friendly with enforceable contracts and pre-birth orders. A few states have restrictions or require post-birth parentage steps. Indian Egg Donors partners only with legally compliant, surrogacy-friendly states.
The USA and Georgia are considered the safest because they offer clear, enforceable parentage laws and structured IVF/surrogacy regulations. Canada is also safe but only permits altruistic surrogacy.
Yes. LGBTQ+ friendly destinations include the USA, Mexico (state-dependent), and Canada. Georgia restricts programs to married heterosexual couples. India prohibits LGBTQ+ surrogacy.
No. India’s Surrogacy Regulation Act only allows Indian heterosexual couples married for 5+ years to pursue altruistic surrogacy. Foreigners, NRIs, LGBTQ+ couples, and singles are not eligible.

• Country selection based on legal fit
• Connecting with local attorneys
• Pre-birth and post-birth legal processes
• Document preparation
• Citizenship, passport, and hospital paperwork
• Compliance with all regulatory standards
