Who can use this program
Who this is for
This program is for military and veteran families pursuing surrogacy because pregnancy is medically unsafe, medically unavailable, or not the right family-building path for their family. It is designed to reduce one part of the agency burden without pretending to solve the entire cost stack.

Why this exists
Military families face real family-building barriers: coverage gaps, operational disruption, and out-of-pocket costs that can delay or derail a surrogacy plan. Patriot Conceptions created this program to reduce one part of that burden while giving families a more credible entry point than a discount-alone landing page.
