Why would a woman choose to be your surrogate mother?

Finding a surrogate mother, can be a daunting task that Shared Conception is prepared to fully address. We know that choosing your surrogate is extremely important and that a lot of thought and research must go into this process. Our agency is not just a surrogate finder – we carefully choose individuals who are perfectly suited for you.

The surrogates associated with Shared Conception are unique, strong, caring, committed individuals, who all feel compelled to fulfill their personal desire of helping intended parents become moms and dads.

Our surrogates are all mothers of various ethnicities, diverse backgrounds and hail from a multitude of cultures and heritages. Shared Conception accepted these women as surrogates as their character shone through, their health was above par and they are psychologically healthy. Plus, they are a treasure trove of information regarding pregnancy and delivery as they are already mothers.
