If your partner has recently shared that they cannot carry a pregnancy and may need surrogacy to have a family, this guide explains UK surrogacy, what to expect, and how to support each other.
In response to a forthcoming UN report exploring whether surrogacy can constitute violence against women and girls, SurrogacyUK has submitted evidence to highlight how ethical, relationship-led surrogacy works in the UK. We believe it’s vital that the voices of surrogates and intended parents are included in global discussions – and that UK surrogacy is recognised as a model centred on trust, informed choice, and mutual respect.
Becoming a surrogate is a life-changing experience, filled with excitement, questions, and a strong sense of purpose. At SurrogacyUK, we strive to make the journey as seamless and supportive as possible. But don’t just take our word for it—hear directly from our recent applicants and experienced surrogates about their experiences with the SurrogacyUK community.
