Gestational Surrogacy in Illinois

Over the past decade, Family Source Consultants has matched and facilitated hundreds of arrangements for Egg Donors, Surrogates, and Intended Parents throughout the state of Illinois, the entire United States, and Internationally.

For the convenience of Intended Parents, Surrogates, and Egg Donors, Family Source Consultants offers several locations throughout the United States.

Our Joliet office is located at 1000 Essington Road, Joliet, IL 60435, approximately 40 miles (64 km) southwest of Chicago.

Illinois is one of 5 states in the United States which have specific laws governing Gestational Surrogacy. The surrogacy laws in Illinois are applicable to all couples, regardless of sexual orientation, which makes the state a highly desirable location for same-sex parents who are seeking the assistance of a Surrogate Mother.

Becoming a Parent Through Surrogacy in Illinois

The state of Illinois offers surrogacy-friendly laws that allow for all parental rights of the intended parents to be established through a pre-birth order prior to the birth of your child. The child’s birth certificate reflects the information of the biological parents; the gestational surrogate is not listed on the birth certificate. This pre-birth order is done outside of the court, which makes the process easy and stress-free for both intended parents and surrogates.

All prospective Surrogates have been carefully pre-screened including:

  • In-depth application
  • Personal interview with Family Source
  • Written consent from OB
  • Complete medical history, including previous pregnancy and delivery records
  • Criminal background check (on both candidate and their spouse/partner)
  • Professional psychological screening (of candidate and spouse/partner)

You may call us at (815) 421-9778 or submit an online request to receive an information packet or to schedule a no-cost in-person or video conference consultation.
