Becoming a Surrogate in Canada: Empowering, Ethical and Fully Supported by Willow Roots
There’s something extraordinary about the decision to become a surrogate. It’s a choice rooted in compassion, selflessness, and an unwavering desire to help others experience the joy of parenthood. In Canada, where surrogacy is based on altruism rather than profit, this act of generosity carries even deeper meaning.
At Willow Roots Fertility Consulting, we’re here to support surrogates like you—every step of the way—with personalized guidance, transparency, and care that honours your gift.
Why Choose Surrogacy?
Surrogacy is about more than carrying a baby—it’s about carrying hope. For individuals and couples facing infertility, your willingness to help can mean the difference between a dream deferred and a dream fulfilled.
Surrogates often describe the experience as one of the most empowering, purpose-filled things they've ever done. Knowing you played a part in helping someone grow their family is a feeling that stays with you forever.
What About Reimbursement?
Canadian surrogacy law allows for altruistic surrogacy—this means surrogates cannot be paid for carrying a child, but they can (and should) be fully reimbursed for every legitimate expense related to the pregnancy. This includes:
Maternity clothing
Medications and supplements
Travel for appointments
Lost wages
Childcare and housekeeping support during medical recovery
And much more
At Willow Roots, we’ll walk you through exactly what can be reimbursed and ensure your expenses are handled with clarity, fairness, and respect. You’ll never be left guessing what’s covered—we’re here to advocate for you.
