Single Intended Parents
Surrogacy for Single Parents
Choosing parenthood on your own is a deeply personal decision. Surrogacy offers a path to parenthood that allows you to build the family you've always dreamed of, and Circle has supported single parents on this journey for over 30 years.
We understand the unique considerations single parents face, from navigating the process independently to creating a support network that sustains you throughout your journey and beyond. With over 4,000 babies born and firsthand expertise, our compassionate team is with you at every step.
Our Requirements for Intended Parents
You're ready to become a parent, and we're here to walk alongside you throughout your journey. Single-parent surrogacy represents a mental, emotional, and financial commitment from you, and every path to parenthood differs. We maintain these agency guidelines to help contribute to a successful journey:
-
You have a physical or psychological medical need for surrogacy.
-
You're within the defined age limits.
-
You're open to having a relationship with your surrogate.
In addition, having a strong support network is vital. There are emotional ups and downs to every surrogacy journey, both before and after baby's welcome home. You'll also have a lot of care and decisions to navigate on your own. Understanding friends and family can offer emotional support and practical help, no matter what your journey brings.
Our Surrogacy Programs for Singles
We've designed flexible single-parent surrogacy programs to better meet your individual needs:
-
Surrogacy only: We thoughtfully match single parents who don't require egg or sperm donation with a gestational surrogate.
-
Surrogacy with donation: Our team works with vetted, reputable partners to help you identify and secure egg or sperm donations for embryo creation.
-
Sibling surrogacy journeys: When you're ready to grow your family again, you maybe able to reunite with the same surrogate — turning an already meaningful relationship into an even bigger part of your family's story.
-
Surrogacy with a friend: If a friend or loved one has offered to be your gestational surrogate, we ensure that both of you have exceptional support and advocacy throughout.

Finding a Donor for You
Choosing an egg or sperm donor is one of the most meaningful decisions you'll make, and it's about finding someone whose traits, values, and background feel right for your family.
Nonbinary, trans, or single-father surrogacy often requires egg donation to create embryos. We have an in-house database of prescreened fresh egg donors and partnerships with multiple third-party clinics and agencies for additional egg donation options.
Surrogacy for a single woman often involves a sperm donation unless you've already secured a donor on your own. Our team helps you navigate choosing a donor who aligns with your family vision and preferences.
