If surrogate candidates meet these requirements, we invite them to complete a more in-depth application and begin the prescreening process. Our prescreening process is completed before they join our program to ensure they are physically, emotionally and psychologically prepared to become a surrogate. A medical record review, national background check, drug screening, initial psychological evaluation and in- person meeting are completed before each is qualified to match with intended parents.
How do I choose a surrogate mother who is right for me?
Finding the right surrogate is a mutual matching process through which you choose each other. Our coordinators take great care in getting to know our clients' expectations and what they hold important for their journey. The information gathered is used to help our intended parents and surrogates find the best match for them. All of our intended parents and surrogates create a profile designed to share a little bit about themselves, their hobbies and what they are looking for in a match. Surrogate mother profiles are presented to intended parents based on potential compatibility. If the intended parent is interested in a profile, we in return share their profile with that surrogate mother. If there is mutual interest, we will facilitate an introductory conference call.
Does the person seeking surrogacy have a relationship with the surrogate? What are the parameters?
