Surrogacy in Pennsylvania
Can I Become a Surrogate in Pennsylvania?
Yes! Accel Conceptions proudly accepts surrogate applications from Pennsylvania.
Gestational surrogacy is permitted in Pennsylvania, and although the state does not have a specific surrogacy statute, courts have long recognized and supported gestational surrogacy arrangements. Many counties 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 judge, each journey is carefully managed based on the specific circumstances.
Accel Conceptions partners with experienced Pennsylvania assisted reproduction attorneys to ensure every surrogate receives the legal protection, guidance, and support she deserves throughout the process.
From your first application through delivery and recovery, our team is here to support you every step of the way.
