While commercial surrogacy is legal in the United States, it is far from being solely about financial compensation. Our day-to-day work with US surrogates consistently reveals a deeper motivation - one rooted in compassion, purpose, and a genuine desire to help others build their families.

Much like in the UK, US surrogates are driven by the fulfilment that comes from making parenthood possible for someone else. Their commitment is heartfelt, and their journeys are often inspired by personal stories and a strong sense of empathy.

What is the difference between altruistic surrogacy and commercial surrogacy?

The terms ‘altruistic surrogacy’ and ‘commercial surrogacy’ are often used to categorise different types of surrogacy around the world, although in reality there is variation within and overlap between both terms.

UK surrogacy arrangements between existing friends are pretty common.

It’s not surprising that someone who knows about their friend’s difficult fertility journey or desire to be a parent as a gay or single man may offer to help them, either because they were thinking of acting as a surrogate anyway and would like to do it for someone they know, or because this is something they feel compelled to do uniquely for their friend.

At Brilliant Beginnings we support surrogate choice.

We help our surrogates work through their likely costs to make sure they are never left out of pocket, provide clear information about the options around expenses, and help them approach expenses in whatever way feels right for them and their families.

We reflect these choices within our matching process, to make sure surrogates are matched with intended parents who are aligned with their expectations and have an appropriate budget.
