Surrogacy in Connecticut

Can I Become a Surrogate in Connecticut?

Yes! Accel Conceptions proudly accepts surrogate applications from Connecticut.

Connecticut is one of the most surrogacy-friendly states in the country. The Connecticut Parentage Act provides a clear legal framework for gestational surrogacy and recognizes intended parents as the legal parents of a child born through surrogacy. Courts routinely grant pre-birth parentage orders, helping ensure parentage is established before delivery and creating a smooth legal process for everyone involved.

Accel Conceptions works with experienced Connecticut assisted reproduction attorneys who will guide you through every legal step and ensure your rights are protected throughout your journey.

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

“As intended parents, Accel Conceptions has been the most amazing partner on our journey to build our family. Monica and the team have been exceptional in helping us to find the right surrogate, taking the time to work with us and understand who we are, and connecting us to our heroic surrogate. We couldn’t have done it without Accel and are now in the middle of our next journey to parenthood with Monica and the team. Everyone defaults to the lawyers and IVF doctors being important in surrogacy, and of course, they are, but the most important relationship is with your surrogate and the team that supports them. They navigate all the hard stuff, and Accel does this with professionalism, empathy, and joy.”
