A Word From Our Surrogates
"It’s the most rewarding, selfless thing that anyone can do. I loved being pregnant and would love to do something like that for somebody else. If anyone is considering being a surrogate, I’d tell them to go for it. Absolutely."
"Being a surrogate has changed my couple’s life but it has also changed me as well. I have accomplished many things in my life but I have never felt such an intense sense of pride as I did helping them create their family. I am so grateful to have been part of this journey with my parents and the Hatch team. My experience of being a surrogate exceeded all my expectations and continues to do so."
"Being a surrogate is one of the biggest most rewarding accomplishments of my life! Watching a couple become a family and giving them the gift of life is unexplainable … it’s so fulfilling! When I delivered their baby and saw them holding her for the first time and knowing as a mother the love they were feeling … just seeing all of it come together and knowing I had a part in creating that family is such an amazing feeling!"
FAQs for Surrogates in Alaska
Yes, surrogacy is practiced in Alaska, though the state does not have a specific surrogacy statute. Working with an experienced agency and legal team ensures the process is structured correctly and everyone involved is protected.
In most cases, surrogates should be healthy adults who have already had at least one uncomplicated pregnancy and are currently raising a child. You'll also typically need to meet medical, lifestyle, and psychological screening requirements to make sure surrogacy is a safe fit for you.
In gestational surrogacy, which is the most common type of surrogacy, the surrogate is not biologically related to the baby. The embryo is created using the intended parents' or donors' egg and sperm, so you're carrying the pregnancy, not contributing your own genetics.
You may need to travel for certain appointments, especially if your fertility clinic or the intended parents are located outside your immediate area. We're here to walk you through every step, including what travel may be needed and how those expenses are typically covered.
Surrogate compensation can vary based on your experience, medical history, and the details of your journey. In addition to base compensation, surrogates are often reimbursed for pregnancy-related expenses like travel, maternity clothing, lost wages, and other approved costs.
When you work with an experienced agency, you're not expected to figure everything out on your own. You should have guidance with matching, screening, legal steps, appointments, and ongoing emotional support, so you always feel informed, respected, and cared for.
