Surrogacy in North Carolina

Can I Become a Surrogate in North Carolina?

Yes! Accel Conceptions proudly accepts surrogate applications from North Carolina.

Gestational surrogacy is permitted in North Carolina, and although the state does not have a specific surrogacy statute, courts have a long history of recognizing gestational surrogacy arrangements. Many courts issue pre-birth parentage orders, allowing intended parents to establish their legal rights before the baby is born.

Because legal procedures can vary by county and family circumstances, Accel Conceptions partners with experienced North Carolina 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.

North Carolina Surrogate & Family Stories

“My first experience being a surrogate would not have been this easy or amazing, without the help of Monica and all the ladies with Accel. I would refer them to everyone I know.”

— Kelsie, Accel Conceptions Surrogate in North Carolina

“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.”

Kylie J.
“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.”

Tasha R.
“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 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.”

Lauren M.
“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!”
