There’s a lot to learn about surrogacy and we’re here to support you every step of the way. We host casual information sessions throughout the year where you can learn about surrogacy requirements and meet women who’ve worked with Northwest Surrogacy Center.
We work with amazing women and support them throughout their surrogacy and beyond! The following events are for NWSC surrogates past and present and are an opportunity for NWSC surrogates to meet up with other surrogates and talk about their experiences. Please let your Case Manager know if you have any questions!

All past and present NWSC surrogates are invited to hang out, trade stories, and have fun at our summer meet-ups! Light refreshments will be provided by NWSC. These will be held in outdoor, open-air locations. As Covid-19 is a dynamic situation and NWSC is not a medical professional, please continue to follow all of your doctor’s recommendations.
