Because of the lack of hurdles to start or complete surrogacy journeys combined with the fact that courts have been favorable to surrogacy in the past, however, North Carolina is on the list of \u201csurrogacy-friendly\u201d states and is a great place to explore your options.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you\u2019re an Intended Parent looking for a surrogate, start by understanding your specific needs through conversations with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/a-to-z-guides\/what-is-a-reproductive-endocrinologist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reproductive Endocrinologist<\/a> and a trusted attorney specializing in surrogacy.<\/p>\r\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/telling-friends-and-family-about-surrogacy\/\">becoming a surrogate<\/a>, especially if this is your first time, make sure you understand the <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-eligibility-criteria\/\">requirements<\/a>, your <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-rights\/\">legal rights<\/a>, and what to expect from <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-process\/\">the process<\/a>. Being pregnant with your own child is different than carrying for someone else \u2013 medically and emotionally.\u00a0 You\u2019ll need to decide whether you want to be a traditional or <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/gestational-carrier-requirements\/\">gestational carrier<\/a>. Traditional carriers use their own eggs and are biologically related to the child(ren) they carry on behalf of Intended Parents. Gestational carriers, by contrast, carry an implanted embryo that may or not be fully or partly genetically related to Intended Parents. <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/traditional-surrogacy-vs-gestational-surrogacy\/\">Traditional surrogacy<\/a> inherently contains <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-risks-and-complications\/\">risks<\/a> that <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/gestational-surrogate\/\">gestational surrogacy<\/a> do not because of the direct genetic relationship between surrogate and the child(ren). Intended Parents and surrogates need to be informed about those risks and proceed accordingly. In North Carolina and elsewhere, most surrogacy journeys are gestational.<\/p>\r\n<p>While there are no surrogacy-specific statutes in North Carolina, there are many <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-ethics\/\">ethical<\/a> and legal standards established by attorneys who specialize in surrogacy as well as Reproductive Endocrinologists who work with surrogacy journeys.

You never need an agency and there are many reasons why an <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/independent-surrogacy-journey\/\">independent journey<\/a> in North Carolina might be your best option. Here\u2019s some of the reasons <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/independent-journeys\/\">surrogates prefer independent journeys.<\/a> There\u2019s also more information below for Intended Parents and anyone interested in forgoing an agency.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_can_become_an_Intended_Parent_in_North_Carolina\"><\/span><strong>Who can become an Intended Parent in North Carolina? <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Married or unmarried couples whether they are heterosexual or members of the LGBTQ+ community are all treated equally under the law. In North Carolina, anyone who has been advised by their doctor or knows they cannot biologically carry a <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-pregnancy\/\">pregnancy<\/a> is able to consider surrogacy as an option to start or grow a <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-with-a-family-member\/\">family<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_additional_things_to_know_about_surrogacy_in_North_Carolina\"><\/span><strong>Some additional things to know about surrogacy in North Carolina<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Pre-birth orders are directives from courts declaring Intended Parents and not surrogates to be the parents. In North Carolina, pre-birth orders are available past the first trimester. They are usually granted, though Intended Parents with no genetic ties to the child(ren) may need to go through a <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-post-birth-arrangements\/\">post-birth<\/a> adoption process. Additionally, while pre-birth orders are usually granted to parents with at least one genetic tie, it\u2019s not a given and may vary depending on location. As always, check with a qualified attorney for more insight into the process and how to best establish <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-and-legal-parentage\/\">legal parentage<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>As is the case in many states, there are no requirements in North Carolina that you have a surrogacy agreement in place prior to moving forward, however, it is ill advised to undergo a surrogacy journey without one. The medical aspect of surrogacy (e.g. when an embryo is transferred) should only proceed when everyone is the same page. Additionally, many clinics will not do an <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-embryo-transfer-process\/\">embryo transfer<\/a> without knowing a fully executed surrogacy agreement in place.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-contracts-and-agreements\/\">Surrogacy contracts<\/a> should be detailed and cover a wide variety of scenarios, including detailing the risks and responsibilities of each party. What is the agreed-upon compensation? How will that compensation be paid and on what schedule? What are the pregnancy-related protocols everyone is comfortable with?

You cannot be receiving any type of government assistance.<\/li>\r\n<li>You are eager and willingness to follow doctor\u2019s orders, including taking all <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/surrogacy-myth-experimental-medications\/\">medications<\/a> as prescribed.<\/li>\r\n<li>You maintain a healthy weight with a BMI &lt; 33 and currently have no major health issues. You do not take medication where pregnancy is a contradiction.<\/li>\r\n<li>You do not smoke or use drugs and are not around toxic chemicals.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>If you qualify, you can begin matching with Intended Parents. Surrogacy Place offers surrogates the opportunity to directly match without an agency based on the criteria that\u2019s important to you, including the location of the Intended Parents if you are looking for someone local.<\/p>\r\n<p>After you match, you will be formally vetted by the Intended Parent(s)\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/finding-a-surrogacy-clinic\/\">fertility clinic<\/a>. Once cleared, surrogacy contracts are finished and signed.

The cost savings for Intended Parents can also result in higher compensation for surrogates as much more of the available compensation is offered directly to the surrogate.<\/p>\r\n<p>When you don\u2019t use an agency, you can also match on specific criteria without being limited to the 1-3 profiles an agency is willing to show you. Additionally, agencies often pressure surrogates and Intended Parents to match without regard to suitability. When agencies coordinate matches, many Intended Parents find themselves matched with surrogates who aren\u2019t medically fit to carry (with some going back into the pool of potential matches for others when they are dismissed by prior Intended Parents) and many surrogates find themselves matched with Intended Parents who don\u2019t align with their pregnancy preferences.\u00a0 Remember, only Reproductive Endocrinologists and licensed attorneys can advise intended parents and surrogates on the suitability of a match.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>For information on the some of the various costs Intended Parents pay for surrogacy, please read our <a href=\"https:\/\/surrogacyplace.com\/blog\/how-much-does-surrogacy-cost\/\">\u201chow much does surrogacy generally cost\u201d overview<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>Looking for an overview on surrogacy in another state?
