General Questions
What is surrogacy?
Surrogacy is an arrangement where a woman (the surrogate) carries and delivers a baby for another person or couple (the intended parents). It can be gestational (no genetic link to the surrogate) or traditional (surrogate is also the egg donor).
What types of surrogacy do you offer?
Beyond Horizons specializes in gestational surrogacy, where the surrogate has no genetic connection to the child. We collaborate with IVF clinics to ensure that procedures are conducted safely and ethically.
Who can become an intended parent?
We welcome individuals and couples of all backgrounds, including heterosexual, LGBTQ, and single parents. Each case is reviewed to ensure readiness and suitability.
