Surrogacy in Maine

Can I Become a Surrogate in Maine?

Yes! Accel Conceptions proudly accepts surrogate applications from Maine.

Gestational surrogacy is fully legal in Maine under the Maine Parentage Act, which provides a clear legal framework for surrogacy arrangements throughout the state. Most Maine courts grant pre-birth parentage orders, allowing intended parents to establish their legal rights before the baby is born. This streamlined legal process helps provide peace of mind for both surrogates and intended parents.

Accel Conceptions partners with experienced Maine 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 had wonderful pregnancies and enjoyed being pregnant. I think that bringing life into the world is the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced. Knowing that some people couldn’t have children just breaks my heart. I was so blessed to be able to help my Intended Parents make their dream come true through the help of Accel Conceptions.”

“I HIGHLY recommend this agency if you are thinking about becoming a surrogate!! My experience as a first time surrogate has been phenomenal with them. Monica cares so much about you and your experience and are so sweet and understanding. They have been with me every step of the way through my journey, and I can absolutely call or email her anytime for anything and she is super quick to respond! If I do another surrogacy journey it will definitely be with Accel Conceptions!”

Prudencia H.
“It’s the most amazing experience watching loving and caring families grow and knowing that I helped them do so. My family and I have enjoyed meeting people from all over the world and experiencing different cultures and ways of living. My second Intended Parents were from China, we had no problem in communication at all. Although they speak some English, we had a Chinese speaking case manager at Accel Conceptions to coordinate. My family have been invited to visit them for the baby’s first birthday.”

Marie C.
“Finding Accel Conceptions has been such a blessing in my life. I have embarked on a beautiful, rewarding journey of giving another family a baby of their own through me being their gestational surrogate. Since the beginning, Accel has been so helpful, knowledgeable, and supportive. They have answered all my questions, calmed all my fears, and just have been here with me every step of the way. I always know that the phone will be answered or the email will be replied to within minutes. If you were like me and searching for the right agency to go with, look no further. This agency is more of a sisterhood and family than anything else. You are in amazing hands with these ladies.”

Kalen S.
“I would give more stars if I could! Monica has been absolutely amazing. I am only in the beginning stages of my surrogacy journey, but my experience thus far has been so seamless. I had a not-so-great experience with an agency I was using before I was referred here, it was a breath of fresh air when I first spoke with Monica. They are always communicating and updating me with what is going on, never once have I been stuck wondering. If you are looking to become a surrogate mama, I absolutely recommend you stop looking and come here.”
