Pride Month is a great time to recognize the gay men who have become parents through assisted reproductive technologies!

At Chicago IVF, we provide a complete range of treatments and services for same-sex male couples and individuals. These include egg donation, gestational surrogacy, and in vitro fertilization (IVF). With several locations in the surrogacy-friendly state of Illinois, Chicago IVF has extensive experience helping gay men from around the world coordinate surrogacy and navigate the path to achieving the family of their dreams.

We work closely with our affiliate, The Illinois Center for Surrogacy, which provides experienced, compassionate surrogacy advocates to ensure the best possible coordination of care for both intended parents and surrogates.

The Illinois Center for Surrogacy

Kevin Kennedy, program coordinator at Chicago IVF’s affiliate, the Illinois Center for Surrogacy, had the pleasure of attending the Men Having Babies Conference on June 7-8 at the Center on Halsted (COH), an LGBTQ community hub in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood.

The conference was a great opportunity for intended fathers to explore their family-building options through surrogacy and egg donation and for professional colleagues to connect.
