To become a gestational surrogate in Florida, applicants must meet medical, psychological, and lifestyle requirements designed to support a healthy pregnancy and a safe surrogacy journey. Creative Love follows applicable fertility clinic standards and guidance from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM).
Our Florida surrogate requirements generally include being 21–40 years old, having a BMI of 32 or below, being a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and having a history of healthy pregnancies with at least one full-term delivery. Applicants must currently be raising at least one child and demonstrate financial stability.
Our surrogate screening process includes a review of pregnancy and delivery records, OB/GYN clearance, fertility clinic medical evaluations, psychological assessments, and background checks for applicants and their spouses or partners, when applicable. Final eligibility is determined through individual medical review and fertility clinic approval.
First-time gestational surrogates in Florida can earn upwards of $75,000 in compensation and benefits, with higher compensation available for experienced surrogates. Additional payments may include carrying twins, C-section deliveries, and lost wages during postpartum recovery.
Yes. Florida is one of the most surrogacy-friendly states in the country, with clear laws under Chapter 742.15 of the Florida Statutes that protect both surrogates and intended parents. Compensated surrogacy is legal in Florida, and surrogacy agreements are strongly enforceable when each party has independent legal counsel and the proper steps are followed. Florida law also prohibits citizens or residents of certain foreign countries from entering into surrogacy contracts, and any such contracts made in violation of this restriction are considered void.
In gestational surrogacy, the gestational surrogate has no genetic link to the baby she carries. The embryo is created through IVF using donor eggs, the intended mother’s own egg, or sperm donation. In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate uses her own egg, which means she has a genetic relationship with the child. Traditional surrogacy in Florida is governed by Chapter 63.213 of the Florida Statutes, which covers pre-planned adoptions. Under this arrangement, intended parents must use a Pre-Planned Adoption Agreement, and the surrogate retains the right to revoke consent for 48 hours following birth. Most Florida families pursue gestational surrogacy for the clearer legal pathway it provides.
The surrogacy process in Florida includes consultation, matching, medical screening, signing legal contracts, embryo transfer, pregnancy, and delivery. Pre-birth orders can establish intended parents as the legal parents, and a post-birth order finalizes the child’s birth certificate with the intended parents named as the sole legal parents. It is important to note that Florida courts do not generally grant pre-birth parentage orders; instead, a petition for Affirmation of Parental Status must be filed within three days of birth, with full legal custody secured through a streamlined post-birth court process.
Not always. Many intended parents use their own eggs or sperm. If that is not possible, our trusted egg donation agency partners and sperm donation options give your family every opportunity to grow in the way that feels right for you.
Absolutely. Florida welcomes same sex couples to pursue surrogacy, and both parents can be recognized as legal parents on the child’s birth certificate after legal affirmation. We are honored to support LGBTQ+ families across the United States and around the world.
If something inside is whispering that it might be time, please listen to that voice. Whether you are dreaming of holding your baby for the first time or feeling called to give that gift to another family, we are ready to walk this road beside you.
