About Chesapeake Surrogacy Center

Chesapeake Surrogacy Center was established to provide outstanding and affordable surrogacy case management services to families living in and around Chesapeake, Virginia. We coordinate every stage of the gestational surrogacy journey, working closely with fertility clinics, legal professionals and independent escrow agencies, intended parents and surrogates feel supported and informed from the first conversation through delivery.

Our Mission: Ethical, Local Surrogacy Support

Our mission is simple: to make gestational surrogacy in Chesapeake, VA and the surrounding communities as clear, ethical and manageable as possible. We understand that surrogacy is both emotionally meaningful and financially significant. That’s why we prioritize transparent communication, milestone-based fees and independent professional partners at every stage of your journey.

We do not broker surrogacy agreements. Instead, we act as a surrogacy case management agency, coordinating your care with licensed clinics, attorneys and escrow services while you focus on growing your family.

An Experienced Surrogacy Case Management Team
