Surrogacy in Michigan

Can I Become a Surrogate in Michigan?

Yes! Accel Conceptions proudly accepts surrogate applications from Michigan.

Gestational surrogacy is legal in Michigan under the Assisted Reproduction and Surrogacy Parentage Act, which took effect in 2025. The law provides a clear legal framework for surrogacy, recognizes intended parents as the child’s legal parents, and allows courts to issue pre-birth parentage orders in qualifying cases. These orders become effective at the time of birth, helping create a smooth transition for everyone involved.

Because Michigan now has one of the nation’s most comprehensive surrogacy laws, Accel Conceptions partners with experienced Michigan 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.

Michigan Surrogate & Family Stories

“Accel has been the biggest blessing throughout this process. From the original application to the matching process, the transfer process, and now going through the pregnancy (of course, everything in between), I have always been able to count on Accel to guide me. I have been given support and words of encouragement when I didn’t even realize I needed them. Everyone at Accel has been informative, answered my questions, calmed me when I hit bumps throughout my journey, and has always given me an immense amount of love and support just to get me through my day-to-day life outside of surrogacy-related things. Most importantly, Accel has become family to me, and whether my surrogacy time ends after this pregnancy, or I go on to do more journeys, I know that I can always count on the wonderful ladies at Accel to be in my corner, cheering me on.”

— Jennifer S., Accel Conceptions Surrogate in Michigan

“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 will be forever grateful to all of the wonderful people who helped me make my dream come true.

“As a 2x surrogate, Accel truly blows all other agencies out of the water. With my history of HG during my pregnancies, Monica took 5 steps forward to get me the care I needed before I needed it. Which has been a life saver! Monica truly excels in making sure her surrogates are well taken care of. If I have a question, she responds quickly! And I love our surrogate group page where we are all family! If you’ve been looking into surrogacy, get in touch with ACCEL! You won’t regret it!”
