What to Expect After Submitting Your Application

Once you’ve filled out the surrogate mother application, our team will reach out to you for a phone consultation. During this call, we’ll ask questions about your pregnancy history, medical records, and lifestyle to ensure smoothness throughout the entire surrogacy process.

Becoming a traditional or gestational surrogate mother is an in-depth process that requires dedication and attention to detail. It’s a rewarding journey that allows you to help families struggling with infertility while creating a positive impact on their lives.

Be Prepared for Additional Screenings

After submitting your traditional or gestational surrogacy application, you may be asked to perform additional medical screenings and psychological screenings for your safety and the safety of the child. This may be completed at your local IVF clinic.

Matching with Intended Parents

After successfully completing the screening process, the matching process begins. The agency will work to pair you with intended parents whose preferences and expectations align with yours. This process may involve reviewing family profiles, participating in match meetings, and signing a legal agreement to establish the ground rules and roles during the surrogacy journey.

Sign Legal Contracts

After your application has been accepted and you have been matched with the intended parents, your next step in the surrogacy process is to sign a legal contract that will outline everything regarding your surrogacy journey. From parental rights of the child to compensation, this legal contract will keep your surrogacy journey in line and smooth.

Starting the Medical Process

Following a successful match and signed agreement, the medical process to prepare for pregnancy will start. This involves coordinating with an IVF clinic for treatments such as hormone therapy and embryo transfer. At this stage, you will receive guidance and support from your agency and healthcare professionals as you begin the exciting path to carrying a baby for the intended parents.

Why Become a Surrogate?

• Support Families in Need: Surrogates play a vital role in helping parents who cannot conceive naturally.
• Enjoy Pregnancy Again: If you loved being pregnant and want to experience it again, surrogacy offers a meaningful way to do so.
• Earn Compensation: Surrogacy provides financial compensation to support you and your family.
• Build Lasting Connections: Many surrogates form strong bonds with the intended parents they help.

Becoming a surrogate is one of the most significant and altruistic acts a person can undertake. Traditional or gestational surrogacy is an opportunity to profoundly change the lives of individuals and couples who may otherwise be unable to experience the joy of parenthood. For many intended parents, surrogacy is their last hope after facing years of infertility, medical challenges, or other obstacles. By stepping into the role of a surrogate, you are not only helping to create a family but also offering a sense of hope, healing, and fulfillment to those who have long dreamed of holding a child of their own.

The impact of surrogacy extends far beyond just delivering a baby. It creates enduring connections and leaves a legacy of love and generosity. The intended parents are provided the chance to nurture and shape the life of a child, building memories and bonds that will last a lifetime. Surrogates play an irreplaceable part in this profound process, proving that compassion and determination can overcome even the most challenging circumstances.
