FAQs about Indiana Surrogacy

Who can become an intended parent through surrogacy in Indiana?

Many people pursue surrogacy in Indiana, including married couples, unmarried couples, single parents, and LGBTQ+ intended parents. It is important to note surrogacy contracts are legally unenforceable in Indiana, although surrogacy is not prohibited. Some courts may still issue pre-birth orders. Indiana does have a same sex marriage ban making it less friendly for LGBTQ+ intended parents. Your specific path may depend on your circumstances, but with the right team in place, you’re in the right place to explore your options.

How are surrogates screened and matched with intended parents?

A reputable Indiana surrogacy agency carefully screens surrogates through medical reviews, psychological evaluations, background checks, and lifestyle assessments. Once approved, matching is based on shared values, preferences, and communication styles so everyone feels comfortable and supported from the start.

What costs should intended parents expect with surrogacy in Indiana?

Surrogacy costs typically include agency fees, surrogate compensation, legal services, medical treatment, insurance-related expenses, and other journey-related costs.

Can we use donor eggs or donor sperm as part of our surrogacy journey?

Yes, many intended parents use donor eggs, donor sperm, or both when building their family through surrogacy. An experienced agency can help coordinate the process with your fertility clinic and other professionals, making each step feel more manageable and less overwhelming.

What kind of support does an Indiana surrogacy agency provide during the journey?

A trusted agency offers much more than matching—it provides education, case management, emotional support, and coordination with legal and medical professionals. We’ll be with you every step of the way, helping you feel informed, cared for, and ready for each milestone ahead.

Can I be a single parent by choice?

Yes, we are happy to work with single parents by choice, as long as you meet our intended parent requirements.
