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.

“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.”

“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.
“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.
“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.
“Accel Conceptions goes above and beyond, and I would give more than 5 stars if I could! Monica and her team are beyond amazing! If you’ve ever thought about surrogacy reach out to them, there is no agency like them!”
