Surrogacy in Virginia

Can I Become a Surrogate in Virginia?

Yes! Accel Conceptions proudly accepts surrogate applications from Virginia.

Gestational surrogacy is permitted in Virginia under the state’s Status of Children of Assisted Conception law. While Virginia does not issue traditional pre-birth parentage orders, it has an established legal process that allows many intended parents to establish legal parentage after delivery through the state’s Surrogate Consent & Report process.

Virginia’s surrogacy laws are more detailed than those of many other states, and the legal requirements can vary depending on the intended parents’ marital status and family structure. Because of this, Accel Conceptions works closely with experienced Virginia 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 with you every step of the way.
