These past few weeks have been challenging, to say the least, and we hope you are safe and healthy.

If you have been exploring gestational surrogacy to build your family, you may be wondering how your process will be affected by the COVID-19 crisis. The first thing to keep in mind is that surrogacy is a journey. While these are uncertain times, we believe that most Northwest Surrogacy Center (NWSC) families starting the process now are unlikely to have their timeline extended.

We encourage families to take this time to research, plan, and be ready to embark on their dream of parenthood when they feel ready. With this in mind, you are invited to a free webinar to learn more about surrogacy and how COVID-10 may impact your journey. Hear from and speak directly to our panel of experts from NWSC and San Diego Fertility Center (SDFC).

Learn more about surrogacy from a legal, medical and logistical perspective including:

  • Impacts of COVID-19 on surrogacy
  • Egg donation, IVF treatment, genetic testing and other medical services
  • Surrogate screening, personalized matching, timelines, and general process
  • Legal steps and options for international and U.S. families

Open to new and potential intended parents and their families and friends.


We hope you can join us for this free webinar, and don’t hesitate to reach out with questions any time.
