(LifeSiteNews) — A Canadian surrogacy group is offering women up to $25,000 in “reimbursements” to carry babies for LGBT couples.
In an October Facebook ad, Canadian Fertility Consulting promised women up to $25,000 to be a surrogate for an LGBT couple, seemingly confirming concerns that surrogacy reduces human life to a consumer transaction.
“Become a surrogate and create a lasting impact on someone’s life,” the advertisement read. “You’ll receive up to $25,000 and the immense joy of helping couples who can’t conceive realize their dream of having a family.”
“Be A Surrogate For LGBTQ+ Couples,” a link to the group’s website under the ad read.
On its website, Canadian Fertility Consulting promised that surrogates “will never be out of pocket for any expense. Canadian surrogates receive an average of $25,000+ in reimbursement.”
In addition to facilitating surrogacy for heterosexual couples, the group works to obtain babies for “same-sex couples yearning to create a biological connection with their child” and “single parents ready to embrace parenthood solo.”
Earlier this month, LifeSite launched a new campaign to join with rights groups, the Vatican, and pro-life organizations to demand a global ban on surrogacy. LGBT surrogacy was pioneered in the U.S. in 1995 and has resulted in the growth of the practice in the UK, Canada, Australia and other Western nations.
The practice has also been condemned by the United Nations, which called for the global criminalization of surrogacy earlier this month. In its report, the UN warned that “coercive tactics such as financial incentives, threats of legal action, or the withdrawal of support to both the mother and baby” are often used to pressure surrogate mothers to abort their children.
Recently, many surrogacy groups have been exposed as nothing more than human trafficking rings. This January 2025 report from Reduxx revealed the truly horrific tale of how a convicted pedophile ran a “multinational surrogacy empire.”
Furthermore, surrogacy has allowed convicted pedophiles, under the socially acceptable label of LGBT couples, to acquire babies.
In July, Americans were outraged to learn that a gay couple crowdfunded their surrogacy journey to obtain a child despite one partner being a convicted child sex offender. While adoption by a registered predator is illegal, the man used a surrogacy loophole by fathering the child himself and having the baby carried by a surrogate.
Similarly, in August, LifeSiteNews reported that six-year-old twins were removed by child protective services from the home of a 74-year-old San Francisco man after police found the boys locked in a “human-size cage.” The elderly man had obtained the boys through surrogacy.
