If you have been searching for surrogacy in Utah, there is something meaningful behind that search.
For many intended parents, arriving here comes after a long and vulnerable stretch of uncertainty. There may have been treatments that did not go as hoped, quiet conversations about what comes next, and moments of wondering whether the dream of raising a child was still within reach. For others, this is the beginning of a calling they have felt for some time. A woman who has experienced the beauty of pregnancy and wants to offer that gift to someone who cannot experience it on their own.
Wherever you are coming from, you have found a place that understands how much this moment matters.
At Creative Love Egg Donor and Surrogacy Agency, we approach every surrogacy journey with warmth, patience, and genuine care. From the very first conversation you have with our team, through every milestone along the way, you are supported, guided, and never left to figure things out alone.
Deciding which surrogacy agency to trust with something this important is not a small thing. It is one of the most personal decisions you will make throughout this entire experience.
What families continue to tell us is that they chose Creative Love because they felt something they did not always find elsewhere. They felt like people, not paperwork. They felt like their story mattered to us, and it does.
Many intended parents come to us after navigating uncertainty on their own for far too long. They are ready for a team that will not just process their journey but genuinely walk alongside them. Women who are considering becoming a gestational surrogate in Utah often carry a similar feeling. They want to do something truly meaningful with their strength and experience, and they need to know they will be safe, respected, and cared for throughout.
That is exactly what we build here.
We listen carefully. We move at your pace. And we create a surrogacy journey that reflects who you are and what you need, because this is your story, and it deserves to be told with care.
"We felt supported, informed, and cared for during every stage of our surrogacy journey." — Abby and Rolando
We are proud to serve families who are pursuing surrogacy in Utah, and we bring that same level of dedication to every journey we are a part of.
If you are here as an intended parent, you are likely carrying far more than curiosity. You may have spent a long time wondering whether surrogacy is legal in Utah, what the specific laws actually mean for your situation, and whether you are emotionally and financially ready to take this next step.
These are not small questions. They are exactly the right ones to be asking.
Utah gestational surrogacy is legal and governed by a clear statutory framework under Utah Code Ann. Section 78B-15-801, which permits gestational surrogacy for married intended parents. Utah surrogacy laws require that a surrogacy agreement be validated by a court before any medical procedures begin, and at least one intended parent must be genetically related to the child. Additionally, Utah law requires that at least one party to the surrogacy agreement be a resident of Utah for a minimum of 90 days before entering into the surrogacy contract. Utah surrogacy law also requires that all parties involved in a surrogacy arrangement be at least 21 years old. Traditional surrogacy lacks the same legal protections in this state and is generally not recommended, which is why gestational surrogacy remains the most supported and secure path for families planning a surrogacy journey in Utah.
Our experienced team will walk you through all of this in plain, clear language so you never feel lost in the legal details.
The initial step in your journey, scheduling this consultation, gives you the space to share your story, ask every question on your mind, and determine whether Creative Love is the right fit for your family.

For many women, the decision to become a surrogate begins with something that is hard to put into words. It goes beyond generosity. It is a deep, quiet sense of purpose. A desire to use the strength and experience of your body to help another family welcome the child they have been longing for.
If that resonates with you, we genuinely want to hear from you.
Becoming a gestational surrogate in Utah is a life-changing experience that carries real responsibility. It also comes with extraordinary support, meaningful human connection, and generous compensation that reflects just how significant your contribution truly is. According to RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association, gestational surrogacy, where the surrogate has no genetic connection to the child she carries, is the most widely practiced and legally supported form of surrogacy in the United States today.
When you apply, you will complete a profile that includes your personal information, family background, and your reasons for wanting to become a surrogate. This helps our matching team identify the intended parents who are the right fit for you.
To ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone involved, all surrogate candidates go through a thorough and respectful screening process. Understanding these requirements before you apply helps you feel prepared and confident moving forward.

Gestational surrogacy is legal in Utah and is supported by a detailed statutory framework that requires judicial validation before any medical procedures can begin. Under Utah Code Ann. Section 78B-15-801, gestational surrogacy agreements are specifically permitted for married intended parents, with the requirement that at least one intended parent be genetically related to the child. Utah surrogacy laws also require that at least one party to the agreement be a resident of Utah for at least 90 days before the surrogacy contract is signed. Traditional surrogacy does not carry the same protections under Utah law and is generally discouraged. Working with an experienced surrogacy agency ensures your surrogacy agreement and all legal contracts are handled correctly from the start.
An egg donor or donor sperm may be part of your journey if using your own egg or sperm is not possible or recommended by your reproductive endocrinologist. Through egg donation and sperm donation, embryos are created through IVF and prepared for the embryo transfer, giving many intended parents the opportunity to pursue parenthood while still maintaining a genetic connection to their child. Our team will walk you through every option available to you and help you understand what each path means for your specific situation.
Utah surrogates who work with Creative Love are supported from the very beginning of the journey through a structured program that prioritizes their health, their emotional well-being, and their experience. We build open, respectful relationships between surrogates and intended parents so that everyone feels connected and genuinely cared for. Our goal is to make the surrogacy process as clear, comfortable, and meaningful as possible for every surrogate we work with, from the initial screening through delivery and beyond.
Parental rights in Utah surrogacy are established through the court-validated surrogacy agreement, which is a required step before any medical procedures begin. Depending on your specific circumstances, additional legal steps such as a second-parent adoption or stepparent adoption may be recommended to fully protect your rights as the legal parents of your child. Our team works with trusted legal counsel who are well-versed in Utah surrogacy laws, and we guide you through every step so you feel informed, protected, and confident throughout the entire process.
Surrogates who work with Creative Love receive a compensation package that genuinely reflects the time, dedication, and physical commitment that go into a surrogacy journey. Base compensation ranges from $62,000 to $100,000, with total compensation potentially reaching $70,000 to $120,000 or more when additional benefits are factored in. These additional benefits can include a monthly allowance, a maternity clothing allowance, an embryo transfer fee, a medication initiation payment, and additional fees for specific circumstances, such as a C-section delivery or a twin pregnancy. All compensation is agreed upon within the surrogacy contract, and all screening costs are covered by the intended parents.
