Gestational Surrogacy in Illinois

Illinois is one of 5 states in the United States which have specific laws governing Gestational Surrogacy. The surrogacy laws in Illinois are applicable to all couples, regardless of sexual orientation, which makes the state a highly desirable location for same-sex parents who are seeking the assistance of a Surrogate Mother.

Prospective parents and gestational surrogates can be assured that Family Source Consultants is here to provide expert guidance throughout your Surrogacy journey.

Illinois Intended Parents

  • The Illinois Gestational Surrogacy Act was passed in 2005 and established consistent standards and procedural safeguards for the protection of all parties involved in a gestational surrogacy agreement.
  • All parental rights of the intended parents have been established through a pre-birth order before a child is born. The child’s birth certificate reflects the biological parents; the gestational surrogate is not listed on the birth certificate. This pre-birth order is done outside of the court, which makes the process easy and stress-free for both surrogates and intended parents.

All prospective Surrogates have been carefully pre-screened.

  • In-depth application

  • Personal interview with Family Source

  • Written consent from OB

  • Complete medical history, including previous pregnancy and delivery records

  • Criminal background check (on both candidate and their spouse/partner)

  • Professional psychological screening (of candidate and spouse/partner)

You may call us at (800) FSC-0529 or submit an online request to receive an information packet, or to schedule a no-cost in-person or video conference consultation.

Family Source Consultants ensures that all Surrogates who choose to work with us receive an optimal compensation package. While there is a great deal of altruism involved in becoming a surrogate, there is also an expectation of compensation in return for the sacrifices that you will make as a Surrogate. Rest assured that you will be fully compensated for your time, effort, and commitment to your Intended Parents’ mission, and for any inconveniences that you and/or your family members may experience as a result of your pregnancy as a Gestational Surrogate.

Please keep in mind that these amounts are only a guideline. As a TeamFSC Surrogate, you are free to set your own base compensation. Surrogate compensation depends on many different factors and is unique to each Surrogacy journey.
