Surrogacy in Maryland

Can I Become a Surrogate in Maryland?

Yes! Accel Conceptions proudly accepts surrogate applications from Maryland.

Gestational surrogacy is permitted in Maryland and is supported through established court decisions and legal practice. Many Maryland courts grant pre-birth parentage orders, allowing intended parents to establish their legal rights before the baby is born. While procedures may vary slightly by county, Maryland has a long history of supporting gestational surrogacy for a wide variety of family types.

Accel Conceptions partners with experienced Maryland 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.”

“Monica & the whole team at Accel is beyond what you would expect. They are attentive, thorough, have amazing communication skills and truly care about us and our journeys as surrogates. I feel like family to them and it makes the process that much more enjoyable. You’ll never be left out in the dark or wondering what is going on.

Nastassajica S.
“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.”
