Because surrogacy laws in Taiwan are still not fully established, many intended parents choose to pursue surrogacy in the United States, with California being one of the most popular destinations.
California is well known for its strong legal protections and welcoming attitude toward all types of families. Whether you’re a heterosexual couple, a same-sex couple, or a single parent, California offers equal access to surrogacy, making it one of the world’s leading destinations for building a family.
Benefits of California Surrogacy
Strong Legal Protection
California has one of the most well-established legal frameworks for surrogacy in the world. From drafting the surrogacy agreement to establishing parental rights, every step is protected by clear legal procedures, helping ensure a smooth and secure experience for both intended parents and surrogates.
Surrogates also go through a comprehensive screening process. In addition to meeting age requirements, they must have previously experienced a healthy pregnancy, successfully raised a child, and complete medical, psychological, and background evaluations before being accepted into a surrogacy program.
LGBTQ+ and Single Parent Friendly
California is recognized as one of the most family-inclusive states in the U.S. Same-sex couples, single parents, and traditional families all have equal legal access to surrogacy without facing unnecessary legal barriers.
Advanced Fertility Technology
California is home to some of the world’s leading fertility clinics and reproductive specialists. Advanced IVF technology, along with genetic embryo testing such as PGT-A and PGT-M, helps improve embryo quality and pregnancy success rates. In many cases, surrogacy programs can achieve success rates of over 80%.
Things to Consider
Distance from Asia
For intended parents traveling from Asia, international surrogacy involves long-distance travel, time zone differences, and overseas coordination throughout the journey.
Language and Cultural Differences
Navigating a different legal system and healthcare environment can feel overwhelming, especially for first-time intended parents. That’s why having an experienced surrogacy agency that provides bilingual support can make the entire process much easier.
Why Choose Sunlight International Fertility & Surrogacy Center?
Although surrogacy in the United States is generally more expensive than in many other countries, it remains the preferred choice for many families because of its advanced medical technology, comprehensive healthcare system, and well-established legal protections.
In the U.S., qualified surrogates must meet strict screening standards, including a history of healthy pregnancies, psychological evaluations, background checks, and other medical qualifications. Because qualified surrogates are in high demand, intended parents may experience a waiting period after embryo creation before being matched.
At Sunlight International Fertility & Surrogacy Center, we simplify the entire process through our comprehensive one-stop service. We help intended parents choose experienced fertility clinics, evaluate physicians and success rates, begin surrogate matching as early as possible, and provide complete medical, family, and psychological profiles for every surrogate to ensure transparency and peace of mind.
As the first Chinese-founded surrogacy agency in California, Sunlight has extensive experience serving families throughout Asia. About half of our team members are Chinese-speaking, allowing clients to communicate comfortably in Mandarin. Many of our partner hospitals also have Chinese-speaking nurses, and every family is supported by a dedicated case manager from start to finish.
