Surrogacy in North Carolina

Can I Become a Surrogate in North Carolina?

Yes! Accel Conceptions proudly accepts surrogate applications from North Carolina.

Gestational surrogacy is permitted in North Carolina, and although the state does not have a specific surrogacy statute, courts have a long history of recognizing gestational surrogacy arrangements. Many courts issue pre-birth parentage orders, allowing intended parents to establish their legal rights before the baby is born.

Because legal procedures can vary by county and family circumstances, Accel Conceptions partners with experienced North Carolina assisted reproduction attorneys to ensure every surrogate receives the legal protection, guidance, and support she deserves throughout her journey.

From your first application through delivery and recovery, our team is here to support you every step of the way.

North Carolina Surrogate & Family Stories

“My first experience being a surrogate would not have been this easy or amazing, without the help of Monica and all the ladies with Accel. I would refer them to everyone I know.”

— Kelsie, Accel Conceptions Surrogate in North Carolina

“As a 2x surrogate, Accel truly blows all other agencies out of the water. With my history of HG during my pregnancies, Monica took 5 steps forward to get me the care I needed before I needed it. Which has been a life saver! Monica truly excels in making sure her surrogates are well taken care of. If I have a question, she responds quickly! And I love our surrogate group page where we are all family! If you’ve been looking into surrogacy, get in touch with ACCEL! You won’t regret it!”

“I couldn't have asked for a better journey, being a first-time Surrogate. I matched with my Intended Parents just 1 month after I applied. We chatted almost every day during pregnancy because they were so caring and supportive to me. We’ve become life-long friends. The team at Accel Conceptions was amazing, they not only made it very clear what to do in every step of the process but also shared their personal experiences with me. Thank you to everyone on the Accel Conceptions team for all of your help and support in making this the best journey ever.”

“I am currently pregnant 16 weeks on my first surrogacy journey with Accel Conception. Since the beginning up until now, and I’m pretty sure after this healthy baby arrives. I have been happy with the whole experience. I’ve always felt welcome by everyone on the team, including fertility clinics outside of my town. I’m ALWAYS able to reach my coordinator + the other staff members. So I never feel out of touch or alone. Especially with the monthly group meetings! And Facebook group where all the surrogates can communicate with each other and share our experiences as they happen🙂 I’m grateful for the whole experience and the team I’m working with has a lot to do with it⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩”

“When I was looking for a Surrogacy agency, a friend of mine introduced me to Accel Conceptions. I felt an instant connection with the case managers at Accel Conceptions. They were very thorough in explaining the process and managed my expectations. Although there were up and downs, I had my baby twins in 2020. I will be forever grateful to all of the wonderful people who helped me make my dream come true. Accel Conceptions is the agency that I would refer to friends who need such an important service, because working with the right agency really gives you a peace of mind through this emotional journey.”

“This is a such a great agency! From the very beginning of my surrogacy journey, they were so professional, communicative, trustworthy and client focused. Monica is so sweet and was always available to answer any questions and/or address any concerns I had immediately. I really appreciate the extra effort she put into connecting surrogates with each other during support groups and retreats as well. Having such a strong support system makes a huge difference when navigating this journey. Everyone at Accel goes above and beyond. I would highly-recommend this agency to anyone interested in surrogacy.”
