For many gay men, fatherhood once felt out of reach. Today, gestational surrogacy has made it possible for thousands of intended parents to build their families. Since 2008, Tammuz has guided gay couples through every stage of the surrogacy journey, helping them navigate the medical, legal, and emotional path to parenthood with confidence.
Plenty of couples come to us after years of assuming this wasn’t something they’d get to have. That feeling doesn’t just disappear the moment you decide to move forward; there’s often still fear, hope, and a hundred questions tangled together. We’re not here to rush past that. We sit with it, answer what we can, and help you find the path that actually fits your family, whether that’s about which country makes sense, whether a genetic connection matters to one or both of you, or finding a surrogate who’s genuinely glad to be part of this. You don’t have to arrive with all the answers.
Since 2008, we’ve supported more than 2,200 births, and for each of those families, it was its own journey. We walk it hand in hand with you, from the first conversation to the day you bring your baby home.
coordinated through Surrogacy Plus by Tammuz Family, this is often the choice for couples who want access to some of the most advanced fertility clinics in the world and an especially wide range of egg donor backgrounds to choose from. Many couples also value the closer relationship this program allows with your surrogate, including direct contact throughout the pregnancy, and often the chance to be present at the birth, depending on what you and your surrogate agree together
a well-established option for gay couples, with anonymous, Mexican egg donors and its own legal and clinical process. If you already have frozen sperm or embryos, we’ll confirm the shipping requirements specific to Mexico as part of your plan. We’ll walk you through exactly what applies to your situation before you commit
one of the more established programs for gay couples, with a well-trodden path from egg donation through IVF to matching with a surrogate. Egg donation here is anonymous, with donors who are Colombian, and you’ll receive donor profiles to review before choosing. It’s often a good fit for couples looking for a structured, well-tested process.
Armenia’s program is structured around single intended parents rather than couples. If you’re pursuing this as a couple, one partner would apply as a single intended father rather than both of you jointly, with your single status confirmed through an official registry document alongside the usual medical and legal steps.
Building your family through surrogacy involves many important stages, from medical treatment and legal procedures to matching, pregnancy, birth, and returning home with your baby. At Tammuz, we coordinate the entire journey on your behalf across the destinations that suit gay couples bringing together experienced professionals while providing continuous guidance, communication, and support every step of the way.
We begin by understanding your family situation and what matters most to you including whether a genetic connection for one or both partners is important, and which destinations support that. Together, we identify the plan to explore and the documents needed for review.
01
You complete the required forms and documentation, then select an egg donor and create embryos through IVF using one or, where the program supports it, both partners' sperm. Once the relevant requirements are met, you begin the surrogate-matching process.
02
Your surrogate is medically prepared for embryo transfer. After the transfer, pregnancy testing and early scans are completed. Once pregnancy is confirmed, you receive updates while your surrogate continues with prenatal monitoring.
03
Throughout the pregnancy, you receive medical reports and updates while your surrogate follows the defined prenatal-care protocol. As the birth approaches, we help you prepare for travel, hospital arrangements, accommodation, and the practical steps that follow delivery.
04
After your baby is born, the local team coordinates the documentation required to register your baby and obtain the birth certificate. We continue supporting the practical process while you complete the citizenship, passport, exit, and travel requirements that apply to your family.

Every journey is different. Timing depends on medical processes, legal requirements, donor and surrogate availability, clinic schedules, documentation, third parties, and individual circumstances.
We’ve gathered all the answers to the most important and frequently asked questions, so you can find clear, reliable, and up-to-date information—all in one place, in a simple and convenient way.
It may be suitable if you’re a gay couple building your family through surrogacy, using an egg donor and a gestational surrogate, with embryos created using one or, depending on the destination, both partners’ sperm. If you’re open to one partner applying as a single intended father, Armenia is also worth exploring.
Your cost depends mainly on where you’re starting and which destination and plan you choose. Using both partners’ sperm to create separate embryo batches has different medical needs from using one partner’s sperm. A guarantee-based plan also has a different structure from a plan with a defined number of attempts. Before you begin, you receive the relevant plan information and payment structure so you can understand what’s included and which additional expenses may apply.
No. Every program we coordinate is gestational surrogacy, meaning the surrogate carries the pregnancy but has no genetic connection to the baby. The embryo is created using donor eggs and your (or your partner’s) sperm.

Through Tammuz, I became a father.
The team demonstrated professionalism and humanity beyond expectations, starting from the very first phone call—two years before the birth itself took place.
In my view, what makes Tammuz unique is their understanding that they are dealing with new lives—those of the newborns and the families whose lives are changing before their eyes.
