We’ve rounded up some of the best support groups for intended parents. Surrogacy can feel really isolating if you don’t have a support system that understand what you are going through. Supporting Surrogacy wants to make sure you know about some great places where you can find a support group that is full of intended parents just like you!

Baby Centre

There are several surrogacy-related groups within the BabyCenter Community. Including groups specifically for intended parents seeking advice and support from other IPs.

Resolve

RESOLVE, the National Infertility Association, offers a directory of local, peer-led support groups for parents who have struggled with infertility. While many of these groups are not specific to surrogacy, intended parents may still find them helpful.

Meetup.com

Intended parents may also be able to find in-person support through Meetups groups. You can also find groups on general surrogacy, infertility and LGBT parenting groups.
