Surrogacy in Hawaii

Can I Become a Surrogate in Hawaii?

Yes! Accel Conceptions proudly accepts surrogate applications from Hawaii’s Big Island.

While gestational surrogacy is permitted in Hawaii, the legal process is more limited than in many other states. Hawaii does not grant pre-birth parentage orders. Instead, intended parents establish their legal parentage after the baby is born through a post-birth parentage order. Depending on the family’s circumstances, additional legal steps may be required.

At this time, Accel Conceptions is only able to work with surrogate applicants who reside on the Big Island of Hawaii. This allows us to better coordinate travel, medical care, and support throughout your journey.

Accel Conceptions partners with experienced Hawaii 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.

“As a 4 time surrogate, I can confidently tell you that not all agencies are the same. I have used other agencies in the past, and the communication, connection, and overall care for the surrogate is outstanding with Accel. The team goes above and beyond and makes you feel important and never alone in every step of your journey. It so nice to have someone on your side that you can completely trust. I would have one million more babies with Monica and her agency if I could. You will be one spoiled and loved surrogate at Accel.”

Tasha R.
“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.”

Andrew M.
“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!”

Nastassajica S.
“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.”
