Surrogacy Angel based in Ontario, Canada provides information, referrals and support to surrogates and future parents in Toronto, throughout Ontario, and across Canada.

In Canada, surrogacy operates on altruistic principles, catering to individuals who have encountered challenges or require support in forming a family. The surrogate journey experience depends on shared trust, communication and respect for the surrogate and future parents. Personal and emotional, the surrogate journey should be a very rewarding experience for Surrogate Angel moms and is often the only option for an infertile couple, 2SLGBTQIA+, or single person to have children.

Surrogacy Information

Surrogacy is a process whereby a Surrogate Angel mom agrees to carry and deliver a child for a couple or individual. Surrogacy is legal in Canada and altruistic, which only allows for the reimbursement of expenses.

Surrogate angels are impregnated through the use of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). A legal contract is required for future parents and their surrogate angel before the journey begins.

Reimbursments for Surrogate Angels

In Canada under the Assisted Human Reproduction Act surrogates cannot be paid a service fee, profits, earnings, or compensated for carrying a baby.  Surrogacy in Canada must be altruistic and cannot be a business or commercialized.

Surrogates are reimbursed for expenses incurred during the journey. A Surrogate Angel shall never be out of pocket during the journey.

The Assisted Human Reproduction Act of Canada has not outlined in exact detail what is considered an expense or reimbursement, only that it must be related to the surrogacy journey. 

If a Surrogate Angel is financially out of pocket for any reasonable expense related to the surrogacy process, it is considered an expense. A surrogate should never be out of pocket.

Reimbursement amounts for surrogates in Ontario, Canada ranges from $35,000 to $50,000.
