LONDON, UK — February 14, 2026 — Extraordinary Conceptions, a global leader in surrogacy and egg donation with more than two decades of experience, today announced the continued expansion of its U.S./UK Hybrid Surrogacy Program—an international model that has successfully supported UK families for more than five years.
Developed in response to long surrogate matching delays in the United Kingdom due to outdated surrogacy legislation, the Hybrid Program enables intended parents to create embryos locally with their trusted UK fertility specialists, while moving their journey forward quickly through matching with thoroughly vetted U.S.-based surrogates. This approach provides families with access to enforceable legal contracts, pre-birth orders, and comprehensive medical and insurance protections available in the United States.
Through this established model, Extraordinary Conceptions has already supported numerous successful international surrogacy journeys, offering UK families a reliable, secure, and efficient alternative to domestic-only programs.
The program is structured around a seamless two-country journey, combining the best of both healthcare systems:
• IVF & Embryo Creation in the UK
Intended parents complete fertility treatment and embryo creation with their chosen UK specialists, maintaining continuity of care with physicians they know and trust.
Once embryos are created, Extraordinary Conceptions matches families with a qualified U.S. surrogate—often within a significantly shorter timeframe than in the UK. The surrogate travels to the UK for the embryo transfer, which is managed under the guidance of the intended parents’ IVF clinic. Following the procedure, the surrogate returns to her home state to continue the pregnancy.
The pregnancy, legal process, insurance coverage, and delivery are managed in the United States, including the establishment of parental rights through pre-birth orders and coordinated care at leading hospitals and fertility clinics.
Extraordinary Conceptions works closely with UK fertility clinics to coordinate every aspect of the journey—from matching and legal services to travel logistics, case management, and emotional support—ensuring a seamless experience.
“Our mission has always been to make surrogacy accessible, ethical, and transparent for families around the world. The Hybrid Program was built with UK families in mind — so they never have to choose between the doctors they trust and the legal security they deserve. Parents can have both.”
— Hilary Smith, Head of International Development, Extraordinary Conceptions
The Hybrid Surrogacy Program is offered at an estimated total cost of USD $130,000 to $150,000, depending on individual medical circumstances. This comprehensive fee typically covers:
As demand for international fertility solutions continues to rise, the Hybrid Program represents a new benchmark for safe, ethical, and family-centered surrogacy care.
