“Rent-a-Womb” Headlines and the Realityof Surrogacy in the U.S

Lately, there has been a wave of alarming posts online suggesting that surrogacy in the
United States is being used as a loophole for birthright citizenship, with sensational
terms like “baby farms” being thrown around. While these stories generate attention,
they often ignore the real people and meaningful experiences behind surrogacy. The
truth is, surrogacy is a structured, ethical process that provides an opportunity for
families who cannot conceive on their own to welcome a child into their lives.
At Surrogacy Concierge, we see firsthand how deeply personal and emotional this
journey is for both intended parents and surrogates. Many of the families we work with
come from countries where laws or social expectations make family building difficult,
especially for LGBTQ+ individuals or single parents. They choose the U.S. not because
of citizenship loopholes, but because of the medical care, legal protections, and
compassion that define surrogacy here.
We believe it is important to separate sensationalism from the facts. Surrogacy is about
trust, responsibility, and human connection. Surrogates are supported every step of the
way, and intended parents are guided through a transparent and respectful process. At
Surrogacy Concierge, we are proud to support ethical surrogacy journeys that bring
hope and joy to families around the world.
