In recent years, more and more single women have chosen surrogacy as a way to fulfill their dream of parenthood. Choosing to embark on the surrogacy journey as a single mother is challenging, but thanks to legal and technological changes, many women realize their dream through surrogacy.
Each route has advantages and challenges, different communication with the surrogate and different conduct with the parties involved.
A single mother can embark on a surrogacy journey only if she has a genetic link to the baby (meaning use of her eggs) and this is in accordance with the law in Israel and in most countries of the world.
Single women can go through the process today in USA and Argentina. Tammuz family has created several programs and we will be happy to help you choose the right route for you.
USA: Surrogacy in the USA for single women is legal in a number of countries. Tammuz’s routes offer diverse solutions at affordable costs and uncompromising quality.
During the surrogacy process in the USA, the sperm and egg donors undergo tests for infectious diseases in accordance with FDA laws.
The tests needed for egg extraction can range from 30 days before extraction to 7 days after extraction and it is important to understand this procedure before extraction.
In the case of existing embryos, you must check if you meet the conditions to receive a retroactive approval.
Intended mothers can choose from 2 programs:
A customized basic plan (existing embryos) that includes embryo transfer, screening, tests and medications for the surrogate, full American pregnancy protocol, legal accompaniment in the USA – signing a contract with a surrogate, issuing a court order – birth certificate with the mother’s name, parenting preparation workshops with leading professionals and full support of the Tammuz family.
A guaranteed plan until birth that includes an unlimited number of the different stages of the process until success. Among the services provided: embryo transfer and surrogate matching (unlimited until successful), complete pregnancy protocol and legal services – contract with the surrogate and issuance of birth certificates. Intended mothers also benefit from parenting preparation workshops with leading professionals and personal accompaniment of the Tammuz family.
Argentina: This route offers single women an affordable and high-quality procedure, depending on their personal situation.
Intended mothers can choose one of the following programs:
A customized basic plan (existing embryos) includes embryo transfer, medication, screening and tests for the surrogate, a complete pregnancy protocol, legal support in Argentina that includes signing a contract with a surrogate, issuing a court order, a birth certificate with the mother’s name and parenting preparation workshops with leading professionals.
A guaranteed plan until birth includes an unlimited number of the different stages until success. Among other things, the program includes: tests and financial compensation with regard to the surrogate, sperm donation, its examination and freezing, egg extraction, IVF, embryo transfer, medications, pregnancy monitoring, delivery (natural/cesarean section) including birth expenses and hospitalization of the surrogate and the baby, insurance for the surrogate and the baby, legal support, baby registration and parenting workshops.
Israel: After the High Court case that Tammuz family led, single women can now realize their dream of parenthood through surrogacy in Israel as well. The mothers must meet requirements of the Ministry of Health’s committee and be a resident of Israel between the ages of 18-54.
In addition, the intended mother will be able to embark on the surrogacy journey as a single woman only if she does not have more than two genetic children of her own.

Surrogacy process for single women – how does it work?
Initial consultation: We will be happy to meet and provide you with an initial consultation to explain the process, and to discuss the most suitable option for you.
Flying embryos/creating embryos: depending on your situation, we will contact the fertility clinic in the country where the procedure will be performed, and transport the embryos there if they exist, or arrange for in vitro fertilization (after choosing the donor and extracting the eggs).
Finding the surrogate: Tammuz will arrange a suitable surrogate who has been screened and comprehensively tested, according to the correct route.
Legal agreements: After a surrogate mother has been chosen, legal contracts are drawn up that set out the rights, responsibilities and expectations of both parties. These agreements cover aspects such as compensation, medical procedures and your rights.
Pregnancy and support: The Tammuz family provides support and medical care during pregnancy as well. You will also be able to be involved in the process and receive accompaniment and support throughout the journey.
Birth and parental rights: When the baby is born, the legal procedure involving legal documentation and parental rights established in a court procedure ensures that the parental rights are transferred to you, the intended mother.
Surrogacy for single people is not cheap. It is important to know the costs of fertilization, repatriation, birth and medical treatment.
Also, there may be emotional and psychological challenges during the surrogacy journey and it is important to be aware of them beforehand.
Despite the challenges, surrogacy can be a rewarding option for single women who want to become mothers.
You don’t need to wait for a partner to begin building your family. Whether surrogacy is recommended for medical reasons or is the path you have chosen to motherhood, Tammuz Family will help you understand your options and support you throughout the journey.
Women consider surrogacy for many different reasons. For some, pregnancy may not be medically possible or recommended. Others may already have embryos, need the support of egg or sperm donation, or have decided that now is the right time to build their family independently.
Whatever has brought you here, you deserve clear information, thoughtful guidance, and a path designed around your circumstances. Building a family without a partner does not mean navigating every decision alone. From understanding program eligibility and donor options to coordinating the medical, legal, and practical stages, our team will be by your side throughout the journey.
Since 2008, Tammuz Family has supported the birth of more than 2,200 babies through surrogacy. We bring that experience to every journey while recognizing that every woman’s story, priorities, and support system are different.

Coordinated through Surrogacy Plus by Tammuz Family, this is one of the most flexible options for single women, with access to advanced fertility clinics, the option to use your own eggs where medically possible, and a wide range of sperm donor backgrounds if you need one.
Surrogacy in Mexico for single women has been available for several years, offering legal stability alongside high-quality medical procedures. The entire process is conducted in Mexico City, within the same fertility clinic.
Surrogacy in Armenia for single women has been legal for several years, provided there is a genetic connection to the child. Armenia recognizes single parenthood, and immediately after birth, the intended mother is registered on the birth certificate (without mentioning the surrogate).
Armenia is a close and welcoming destination for Israelis, offering a comfortable stay. Upon arrival, you will meet Marina, Tamuz’s Hebrew-speaking representative, who will assist you throughout the process.
Whether you already have embryos, hope to use your own eggs, or need to consider egg or sperm donation, the right program depends on your medical circumstances and chosen destination. We will help you understand the available options, what each plan includes, and which path may be appropriate for you.
Building your family independently does not mean navigating every decision alone. Your journey should reflect your medical circumstances, the family you want to build, and the support you would like around you.
Your path: Depending on your medical evaluation, you may use your own eggs or existing embryos, or consider an egg donor. If you need a sperm donor, we will explain the available options and help coordinate the relevant stages.
Your support system: You do not need a partner to pursue surrogacy. However, identifying a trusted friend or family member who can support you during important moments, travel, birth, and your first days at home can be valuable.
Your child’s story: If donor conception or surrogacy forms part of your child’s story, we can help you consider the questions that may arise and the guidance available within your program
Clear guidance throughout: You remain at the center of every decision. Our role is to keep the different stages connected, provide clear information, and ensure you understand what comes next
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.
We begin by understanding your medical history and what's brought you to this decision, whether that's medical or personal. Together, we identify the destination and plan that fits, and the documentation you'll need, including proof of single status where a program requires it.
01
Depending on your situation, you may use your own eggs or a donor's, and you'll select a sperm donor. Once your embryos are created through IVF, 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.
Yes. Many women build a personal support system alongside the process, a close friend, family member, or community of other single mothers by choice, while our team guides you through the medical, legal, and logistical stages directly.
This depends on a medical evaluation of your egg quality and overall fertility health, not on age alone. If using your own eggs isn’t medically recommended, donor eggs are available, and we’ll walk you through what applies to your specific situation.
In most cases, yes, unless you already have sperm or embryos from a previous process. You’ll receive donor information according to the applicable program policies and regulations for your destination.

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.
