American Surrogacy's Policy on International Intended Parents

American Surrogacy requires at least one intended parent to be a U.S. citizen.

We do not accept cases in which neither intended parent is a U.S. citizen, including when both intended parents are lawful permanent residents or green card holders.

Recent federal actions have created evolving uncertainty regarding citizenship, immigration, travel, and documentation in international surrogacy arrangements.

Families with questions about their circumstances should consult with a qualified U.S. immigration attorney and an attorney experienced in international assisted reproduction.
