Support Groups

Having a baby through gestational surrogacy can bring feelings of excitement and hope, but also isolation. This intimate support group gives Intended Mothers an opportunity to connect with other women who are also having a baby in this unique way. Over the course of 6 meetings, group members will discuss a range of themes that accompany the surrogacy experience, explore their hopes and fears, and most importantly, trade support with others who can truly relate.

The group is run in a cohort model (i.e. not a drop-in group). Each cohort of participants will meet together for a total of 6 meetings, over the course of three months. This structure allows members to get to know each other over time and form strong bonds. There are separate cohorts for first-time moms and for second-time moms who carried their first child and are using a surrogate to have another baby. Currently enrolling new members for groups that will begin in Summer 2025 (dates TBA).

If you are interested in joining this summer, or interested in joining a future cohort, please contact Sarah to set up an introductory phone call.

This is a virtual, professionally led support group available for California residents only.
