Maybe it lives in a folder of saved articles, or a quiet conversation between you and your partner before sleep. For many intended parents, this search follows years of hoping, waiting, and wondering when their family would finally feel complete. Some have walked through heartbreak. Others have tried treatments that did not lead where they prayed they would. And for some, this path begins from a different place, a calling to help another family experience the gift of parenthood.

If you are reading this as an intended parent, you have likely already carried a lot of emotion to get here. Perhaps you have walked through fertility treatments that did not bring the outcome you hoped for. Perhaps you have been told something difficult about your own ability to carry a child. Or perhaps you simply know that gestational surrogacy is the right path for your family from the very start.
Oregon is recognized as one of the most progressive states for gestational surrogacy. The state does not prohibit surrogacy, and Senate Bill 163, which formalizes the legal framework under the Uniform Parentage Act effective January 1, 2026, brings even more clarity. Intended parents are protected regardless of marital status, gender identity, or sexual orientation, and there is no requirement for a genetic link to the child conceived through the journey.
We coordinate closely with your fertility clinics, communicate openly with all parties involved, and guide you through each legal step. Whether you are single parents, a same sex couple, a heterosexual couple, or part of the LGBTQ+ community, your right to grow your family is honored here.
Understanding the financial side of your surrogacy journey brings peace of mind, and we believe in being honest about every part of it. The total cost of surrogacy in Oregon typically falls between $140,000 and $175,000, depending on factors such as agency fees, surrogate compensation agreements, medical needs, insurance, and travel expenses.

For many women in Oregon, the decision to become a surrogate begins quietly, as a feeling. A sense of purpose. A memory of how meaningful pregnancy felt. A desire to give another family the chance to hold their child for the first time. Whether you live in Portland, Eugene, or a smaller town across the state, being a gestational carrier is one of the most generous gifts one woman can offer another. It is a meaningful commitment that asks much of you, and it gives much in return.
Caring for the well-being of every gestational carrier is at the heart of how we work. Comprehensive screening protects you, the baby, and the intended parents you will support.

Oregon is one of the most welcoming states for gestational surrogacy. The state does not prohibit surrogacy, and surrogacy laws created by attorneys experienced in reproductive law are valid and enforceable. With Senate Bill 163 and the Uniform Parentage Act effective January 1, 2026, the legal framework offers strong protection for both intended parents and surrogates throughout the journey.
Yes. Oregon has a long history of supporting LGBTQ+ individuals and couples in assisted reproduction, and married LGBTQ+ couples enjoy the same rights as heterosexual couples. Single parents and unmarried couples are also welcome to pursue surrogacy. There is no requirement for a genetic connection to the embryo, which opens this path to many families.
The process begins with a short online application, followed by comprehensive screening that includes medical and psychological evaluations and a home assessment. From there, we begin matching, considering values, preferences, and emotional fit before everyone moves forward together.
Oregon allows intended parents to obtain pre-birth orders and post-birth orders through the Juvenile court, which establishes legal parentage regardless of any genetic link. This means your name appears on your baby’s birth certificate from the start, no matter your marital status or gender.
The total cost of surrogacy in Oregon typically falls between $140,000 and $175,000. This covers agency fees, surrogate compensation, medical expenses, legal services, insurance, and travel expenses.
