What Our Parents Say About Circle

"My wife and I had such a wonderful experience with Circle! After a long journey to becoming parents, Circle offered the support we needed. The staff at Circle were incredibly professional and attentive at every step of the process, and they made both us and our surrogate feel so taken care of. Every time we look at our sweet babe, we are filled with immense gratitude for their help and support!"

“Thanks to Circle, we welcomed our beautiful daughter Sofia into the world. From the start, the Circle team made us feel supported, cared for, and truly part of a family. We’re now on our second journey with Circle, alongside our incredible returning surrogate, and we wouldn’t have it any other way!”

Built-In Legal Protection for Your Family
Surrogacy laws vary by state and country, and for LGBTQIA+ parents, the legal landscape can be even more nuanced. Circle's in-house legal team will ensure your parental rights are clearly established at every step.
Every state handles LGBTQIA+ parentage differently, from pre-birth orders to second-parent adoptions. That's why legal fit is the first criterion in our MatchMade™ matching process, making certain that your surrogate lives in a state where your rights can be safely established. Founded by a lawyer and gay dad through surrogacy, Circle's legal team understands the nuances for LGBTQIA+ families and stays current as laws evolve.
Your attorney on your dedicated Journey Coordination Team works proactively to ensure your names are correctly reflected, and when needed, pursues court orders to secure your legal ties to your child.
For some LGBTQIA+ couples, one of the most common legal concerns is ensuring the non-biological parent has the same legal standing as the biological parent. Circle's legal team proactively secures full parental rights for both parents, so there are no gaps in legal recognition for your family.
Any child born in the U.S. is entitled to U.S. citizenship and a passport. Circle's global network of attorneys helps international families navigate country-specific parentage recognition, travel documents, and legal confirmations — so you can travel home safely and securely with your child.
