Surrogacy in New Jersey

Can I Become a Surrogate in New Jersey?

Yes! Accel Conceptions proudly accepts surrogate applications from New Jersey.

Gestational surrogacy is fully legal in New Jersey under the New Jersey Gestational Carrier Agreement Act, which provides a clear legal framework for surrogacy. The law recognizes enforceable gestational carrier agreements and allows courts to issue pre-birth parentage orders, enabling intended parents to establish their legal rights before the baby is born.

Because New Jersey has one of the country’s most established and surrogacy-friendly legal systems, Accel Conceptions partners with experienced New Jersey 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.”

“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!”

“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 and team are a wealth of knowledge. As a 2-time surrogate, this team made me feel heard, respected, and walked through every step of my surrogate journeys. Highly recommend working with this team if you are looking to give back and become a surrogate.”

Nicole L.
“After interviewing several agencies; I decide to join Accel Conceptions and I'm so glad I did! Monica makes you feel like family and the other surrogates are so warm and friendly. They are all so very helpful too. You will be guided along the way as to what to expect and what comes next! For me that was very important. I'm currently on my second journey and I'm very happy with this agency!”
