Thank you for giving me such a wonderful experience — it will never be forgotten. I couldn't have picked a better couple for me and Earl to work with. They were so supportive and loving, and I wish them the very best with their little one. They looked so happy!!! I think every time I saw them after the baby was born they were overjoyed and cried — which of course made me cry.
You made the process so easy and uncomplicated and natural.
I don't know how you do it, but I wouldn't change my decision to be a surrogate for anything. It has brought me to such a wonderful place in my life I won't be able to repay the gift I have been given. One of the best experiences of my life!!!!
Truly Thankful, KK

Meryl B. Rosenberg, Esq., the founder of ARTparenting, has worked with hundreds of gestational surrogates and parents since 1993. At ARTparenting, we handle every detail, from initial contact through the birth of the child.
Our location in Potomac, MD makes its easy for our Maryland surrogates to visit us — although meeting in the office is optional.
To make sure everyone feels comfortable with the entire process, we carefully consult with each surrogate and intended parent to determine their priorities and preferences — and then make the best match possible. A core feature of our program is the focus we place on the match.
We understand one of the many decisions that goes into becoming a gestational surrogate may be financial. The amount of any payments or ancillary expenses is based on multiple factors, including whether you are a repeat surrogate, the cost of health insurance as well as other required expenses. Please review our compensation matrix for details.
For over 20 years, ARTparenting has been a bridge between intended parents and gestational surrogate mothers in MD. Known for our compassion, ethics, and integrity — we are committed to guiding our surrogates and intended parents through every step of the journey.
Meryl Rosenberg has earned a reputation as an innovator and leader in the field of reproductive law. She volunteers to help further the education, development and regulation of assisted reproduction.
Hands-on guidance and a personal approach ensure every gestational surrogate gets the information, support and care she needs throughout the surrogacy process. Learn more about the support we provide our surrogates.
A gestational surrogate carries a child conceived through IVF using an egg from a donor or the intended mother. This means the child will not be genetically related to the gestational surrogate.
Basic requirements for becoming a gestational surrogate:
• Financially stable.
• Has the desire to help others create a family.
• Must be between the ages of 21 and 43.
• Has had at least one child of her own.
• Healthy, non-smoker.
Please review additional requirements and read more about How the Program Works.
"ART" stands for "Assisted Reproductive Technologies." "Parenting" refers to the parents who benefit from our services — and to the amazing surrogate mothers who help others form families through ART.
If you’re thinking about helping another family by becoming a gestational surrogate, you’re a capable and compassionate individual. A willingness to help another person, couple or family to become parents is profound. For help with your decision, read our blog post, Becoming a Surrogate: Is it Right for Me?
We know that raising children is one of the greatest joys in life, and it's why ARTparenting is devoted to building families through surrogacy.

Although visiting our office is not required, our location in Potomac is a bonus for surrogates and intended parents living throughout Maryland — and provides greater opportunity to be physically present during the journey.
Maryland courts generally have found that as long as there is a sufficient connection to Maryland, including the gestational surrogate living there and/or intended parents residing there, they have jurisdiction over the case.
