The Amazing Surrogacy Project

Welcome to the Amazing Surrogacy Project, sharing surrogate’s stories from around Australia about the wonder and challenges of altruistic surrogacy. We are strong, courageous, empowered women, and we want to share our stories to help people understand altruistic surrogacy and why we carry a baby for someone else.

You can view the individual surrogate stories by clicking the images below.

Do not contact the surrogates who have shared their stories to ask them to be your surrogate. You can read more about finding a surrogate in Australia, and how to connect with a surrogate.

If you are interested in surrogacy in Australia, you can find out more information on the Blog, or listen to the Podcast. You can also download your free Surrogacy Handbook.

You can make a submission to the Project here.

If you are a woman considering becoming a surrogate, you can access a free initial surrogacy consult with Sarah. Click the link below to book in.
