SURROGACY FACTS

Surrogacy often leads to beautiful, lifelong connections between intended parents and surrogates.

At True Match Surrogacy, every story begins with hope, strength, and new beginnings. We are honoured to walk alongside you as families take shape and dreams come to life

Conditions Requiring Further Review

You may still qualify for surrogacy with certain conditions, including tubal ligation, herpes, or endometriosis, pending medical review.

Eligibility Considerations

Medical conditions — including specific uterine abnormalities, prior ablation, HIV, Hepatitis B or C, and some medications or mental health conditions — may disqualify candidates.

Surrogacy vs. Carrying for Yourself

Surrogacy prioritizes minimizing risk, certain medications that are advised to continue in personal pregnancies may be a disqualifier for a surrogacy journey.

REIMBURSEMENTS

Let us educate and guide you through the surrogacy journey that’s right for you and your family.

Canadian intended parents reimburse surrogates for out-of-pocket expenses related to pregnancy. This includes everyday items such as groceries, childcare, dog walking, household help, lost wages, transportation, cellphone bills, snow removal, and meals for medical appointments. To make things easy, we provide tools to track expenses — as well as a receipt book for items that don’t normally come with receipts— like paying your child to clean the litterbox.

Reimbursements are processed monthly through escrow, making payments consistent and reliable. You’ll work with our team to set a monthly reimbursement cap based on your family’s needs, and reimbursements may continue for up to 15 weeks postpartum. Intended parents are fully informed of higher reimbursement caps before joining our agency.

Alternatively, contact us if you’d like to learn more about a compensated journey.

We ensure every surrogate is financially protected during their journey

Frequently Asked Questions

Thinking about Surrogacy but need more information?

Got Questions? We're Here to Help!

Your partner must be willing to go through this process with you, including medical and psychological assessments and the legal requirements. Their emotional and physical support is essential throughout this journey.

Absolutely. We take the time to understand what matters most to you in a match, and you always have the final decision about who feels right. If none of our current intended parent(s) are a good fit, we’ll actively look for the right match based on your preferences to help you find your true match.

Birth control or Lupron shots are used to regulate and schedule your cycle.  Estrogen (pills, patches, or injections) prepares the uterine lining for transfer. Progesterone—via injections, suppositories, or capsules—is essential for supporting a healthy pregnancy. Low-dose aspirin may be included to optimize your results.
