Surrogacy in Minnesota

Can I Become a Surrogate in Minnesota?

Yes! Accel Conceptions proudly accepts surrogate applications from Minnesota.

Gestational surrogacy is permitted in Minnesota, and while the state does not have a specific surrogacy statute, courts have a long history of recognizing gestational surrogacy arrangements. Depending on the county, legal parentage may be established before or shortly after birth.

Because legal procedures can vary by county and judge, we work closely with experienced Minnesota assisted reproduction attorneys to ensure every journey is handled properly and that all legal requirements are met.

At Accel Conceptions, your safety and support come first. From your initial application through delivery and recovery, our team is with you every step of the way.

“I am a first-time surrogate, and the main reason I picked Accel Conceptions was because they are local to me, and the support they provide is nothing short of amazing. I loved finding out that they held retreats for ALL the ladies in the agency, near and far. The online support groups are great, but the retreats give us all a way to bond with each other in person, and not just online. They also hold group dinners once-a-month for us where we can check in, play games, eat, win raffle prizes, bond, meet new surrogates joining us, and ask any questions we may have going through the process. I have made lifelong friends being a part of Accel, and it all started with taking the leap to do something amazing for a family that is unable to have a child of their own. It's a true win-win situation! From day one of contacting the agency with questions to now, 37 weeks pregnant, I am so glad I am on this journey, and I have been so grateful to have Monica and the whole Accel team there every step of the way.”

Kate W.
“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. The support we receive from them is one of a kind and you will not find that type of support anywhere else you will not regret your decision to join the Accel agency!”

Jessica H.
“My husband and I got in touch with Accel Conceptions years ago and were immediately impressed by our case manager’s professionalism and dedication. She not only walked us through every detail of the Egg Donation and Surrogacy process, but also informed us the potential challenges we might have along the way. By the end of our first conversation, we knew this was the agency we were looking for. It only took us only three weeks to be matched with our Surrogate, Marie. We transferred one embryo to our Surrogate and were blessed to get pregnant on the first try. We are very grateful to have found Accel Conceptions and to work with all the wonderful professionals.”

Catherine (Parent)
“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!”

Brandy F.
“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!”
