Surrogacy in Delaware

Can I Become a Surrogate in Delaware?

Yes! Accel Conceptions proudly accepts surrogate applications from Delaware.

Gestational surrogacy is fully legal in Delaware under the Delaware Gestational Carrier Act, which provides a clear legal framework for surrogacy. Delaware courts routinely issue pre-birth parentage orders, allowing intended parents to establish their legal rights before the baby is born. These orders become effective at the time of birth, ensuring a smooth legal process for everyone involved.

Because Delaware has well-established surrogacy laws, Accel Conceptions partners with experienced Delaware 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.

“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 believe you have started a very strong team in Accel and I will continue to support you. In the future if anyone mentions surrogacy, I will definitely refer them to you. I am forever grateful for you and blessed to be able to help the families that I did.”

“I was so impressed by the first phone call to Accel. I was with a different agency for my first journey, and there was a night and day difference. I feel advocated for, respected, and honestly, downright celebrated at Accel. Monica is amazing and so knowledgeable. They matched me with the best IPs and are in constant contact. The other surrogates are so supportive and encouraging, a complete network of amazing women who understand. 5-star experience for sure!”
