How to Find a Surrogate in Oregon
Finding a surrogate in Oregon begins with the Matching Process, during which your GSHC case manager will help you review profiles of potential surrogates. While making your decision, it’s crucial to consider a myriad of factors, such as the surrogate’s personality, shared values, and your own personal preferences. Once a potential match is identified, a meeting can be arranged so that you and the potential surrogate can discuss your expectations and boundaries. This helps to facilitate a smooth transition for each step in the surrogacy journey, as well as an agreement built on mutual trust and understanding.
If you and the surrogate choose to be matched with one another, the next step is to draft surrogacy arrangement contracts, which outline the rights, responsibilities, and expectations of all parties involved. These integral documents must be drafted by an attorney specializing in reproductive law.
Using an Egg Donor and Surrogate in Oregon
Using an egg donor with surrogacy is not an uncommon practice for many intended parents and, while it adds a layer of legality to the process, is relatively easy to navigate in Oregon. The state has clear legislation that declares the intended parents as the legal and rightful parents of any child born through gamete donation and surrogacy.
In addition to being a leading national surrogacy agency, GSHC is also an egg donor agency. We have the resources, capabilities, and expertise to help intended parents navigate all aspects of egg donation and surrogacy across all of Oregon, including communities such as Portland, Eugene, Salem, and beyond. Our all-inclusive approach makes the entire process easier because we can help coordinate everything from one place.

Oregon is a popular destination for LGBTQ+ intended parents pursuing surrogacy, as the written laws are inclusive and do not discriminate based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Same-sex parents are listed as “Parent 1” and “Parent 2” on birth certificates.
