Surrogacy Facts You Need To Know
Surrogacy Laws Vary By State
Since there are not federal surrogacy laws, each state creates their own surrogacy laws. Although the United States is one of the most surrogacy friendly countries, there is variance state by state. Some states do not enforce legal agreements between surrogates and intended parents, and/or don’t have a clear and legally sound process to establish parentage after the birth of your baby. Pathways To Parenthood only works with surrogates that live in states where surrogates and intended parents are legally protected. Legal considerations are of the utmost importance for everyone.

Surrogates Are Motivated By More Than Just The Money
Surrogates are paid compensation for the time, effort and health risks involved in being a surrogate. But most surrogates are caring and compassionate women who love being pregnant and love helping others. One amazing statement that many Pathways To Parenthood surrogates state as part of their motivation is “to teach and show their children how wonderful it is to help others”
Surrogates Do Not Want To Keep Your Baby
Pathways To Parenthood’s screening process, which includes a psychological evaluation, ensures our surrogate’s motivation to help you have YOUR baby is at the very top of the list of motivating factors. Most surrogates have completed their families and want to help you complete yours.

Selecting An Egg Donor in Kansas City
When selecting an egg donor, there are several important points to consider. Before you start the donor selection process, it is important for you and your partner to consider what your preferences are, and what qualities mean the most to you.
This process is easier when you and your partner have answered the following questions:
- Do you wish to use an anonymous donor or a known donor?
- What physical characteristics are most important to you?
- What medical history information is most compatible with your own family’s history?
- What personality characteristics are most important to you?
- Does the donor’s location matter to you? Local donors can save thousands of dollars eliminating high travel costs and higher donor and agency fees.
