"Potential surrogates should consider very carefully before offering to carry another individual's child. Those who have previously experienced uncomplicated pregnancies may mistakenly assume that surrogacy will mirror their prior experiences. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that each pregnancy is unique. A surrogate's journey may not be devoid of complications, potentially jeopardising their health. Most women are likely aware of the various complications that can arise, including gestational diabetes, ectopic pregnancies, thrombosis, elevated blood pressure, and haemorrhages. There remains a risk that a woman could lose her ability to conceive, and in rare instances—approximately one in ten thousand—women may succumb during childbirth. This underscores the necessity of thorough deliberation before embarking upon the path of surrogacy.​​

Intended Parents

If, after reviewing this information on Surrogacy, you wish to proceed, please contact Kim Cotton at the Surrogacy Advice Line.

​

Kim will arrange an Information Session for you. This meeting is not an assessment but rather an opportunity to gain comprehensive insights into all facets of surrogacy. The session will be conducted via WhatsApp, with a fee of £100.00, and will last approximately one hour.

​

If you already have a surrogate in place, you can still  reach out to me.

Couples Residing Outside the UK

​

Regrettably, I am unable to accept applications from individuals who do not reside in the UK.

If you are considering international surrogacy, I am not the best person to ask. It would be more beneficial to contact the two other agencies that specialise in this area.

​

Eligibility Criteria for Surrogacy

​

- Intended parents must have exhausted all other medical avenues in their pursuit of having a child unless a medical professional has advised that pregnancy poses a risk to the intended mother.

- Both intended parents are required to undergo DBS checks.

- GP referral letters must be provided as evidence of infertility.
