This process often includes:

• Intended Parent(s)

• Gestational Surrogate

• Egg Donor and/or Sperm Donor

• Fertility clinic (IVF specialists)

• Surrogacy agency for coordination

Today, leading agencies like ACRC Surrogacy provide tailored programs specifically designed for LGBTQIA+ families, ensuring inclusivity, legal protection, and emotional support.

Key legal considerations include:

• Pre-birth orders to establish parental rights

• Second-parent adoption (if required by state)
