For over two decades, Circle Surrogacy's variety of programs for intended parents have made the joy of parenthood possible for cancer survivors.
There are options for becoming a parent after cancer.
• If you were able to undergo fertility preservation methods (i.e. egg preservation) you can explore using IVF to carry a pregnancy.
• If you were unable to preserve eggs and are not capable of doing so, you may choose to work with an egg donor. However, you may still be able to carry your child to term.
• If your cancer has affected your ability to carry a child, you may choose to work with a surrogate (gestational carrier). You may or may not require the assistance of an egg donor as well.
You should speak to your oncologist and/or a reproductive endocrinologist (some of whom are specialists in oncofertility) to determine what would be the best option for you.
Circle believes that everyone should have the opportunity to be a parent. Our surrogacy and egg donation programs allow cancer survivors to have the families of their dreams.
With a deep understanding of infertility after cancer, Circle will work with intended parents to ensure they are ready emotionally, mentally and physically to begin a surrogacy journey.
Circle is the premier agency for those looking to have a baby after cancer. We offer:
The process to becoming a parent is referred to as a "journey" - because it is just that: multiple small milestones that lead to the big event: the arrival of your baby!
The surrogacy process can be anywhere from 19-24 months long, from sign on with an agency until you're holding your baby in your arms.
The surrogacy process looks like this:
We've partnered with groups such as Stupid Cancer and also participated in events with organizations such as SC’s CancerCon and the OMG Stupid Cancer Summit, the Young Survival Coalition and the Oncofertility Consortium & Gilda’s Club.

Cancer treatments are different for everyone, and continue to evolve. We suggest that you fill out a parent form to be connected with our Parent team, where you can speak with a cancer survivor and parent through surrogacy and discuss the best path forward.
Once we have accepted a surrogate applicant into our program, our matching and legal teams determine possible matching options based on a variety of factors, including: the state she lives in, whether she has insurance, and the matching preferences from both intended parents and surrogates.
We will send the redacted profile of the intended parents (with no identifying information) to the surrogate. If she expresses interest, we will send her profile to the intended parents, similarly leaving out all identifying information. Once the surrogate and the prospective parents express a mutual interest, we will put them in touch by telephone, Skype or email so they can begin to get to know each other.
After communicating with each other, the surrogate and the prospective parents meet in person at their mutual convenience: at the surrogate’s home, the intended parents’ home, or some place in between. If the surrogate has children and/or a partner or spouse, the intended parents meet them as well.
An IVF physician medically screens them after a match is made. If for any reason the surrogate doesn’t pass the medical screening (which is rare), Circle Surrogacy presents a new match free of charge.
