hi carriestallard. as far as i know in almost every country it's needed to be married to be able to apply for surrogacy. but this marriage should be of a man and a women, at least you need to have papers confirming this

Care fertility do treatment for same sex couples it's a private clinic though you would have to pay for treatment

Hi, some of friends have recently given birth, she carried her wife's embryos. They had quite a journey but got there in the end. My suggestion is do your research on clinics and book a consultation. Best of luck to you both ☘️

If you can self fund Midland Fertility at Tamworth also treat female couples

Speak to your GP as you may be entitled to some NHS funding or investigation tests, You can always look online at the clinics near you most have detailed sites that offer a lot of info including prices etc xx

Hi CarrieStallard. have a look at hfea.gov.uk where you can access details, websites, prices for all the UK clinics that are licensed to treat gay couples - there are plenty out there! Alternatively, you could ask your GP to refer you to a clinic, hopefully on the NHS. A bit of homework to do and initial investigations, but I wish you both lots of luck with it all. Diane

Hi CarrieStallard. Do have a look at the following website hfea.gov.uk where you can access all the clinics that will be willing to treat you. Hopefully, your GP can then arrange a referral for you both. Good luck! Diane
