What are the Requirements to Become a Surrogate?
In a nutshell, the surrogate requirements to become a surrogate are many, and it is not easy to qualify to be a surrogate. Especially if you live in California, being a California surrogate requires you to meet even higher standards than required by other states.
To be considered for surrogacy, you must:
- Must be a US Citizen
- Be between the ages 21-38 years of age
- Have had at least one pregnancy completed to full term without complications
- Have had no more than two c-sections
- Live in a surrogate-friendly state (See map below)
- Have a body mass index (BMI) 30 or below (please check your BMI using this calculator)
- Not be currently taking any medications related to anxiety or depression as these types of medications could potentially pose a risk to the pregnancy and postpartum recovery.
- Non-smoker and not exposed to second-hand smoke (this includes vaping and medical marijuana)
- Not be on any federal or state assistance
- Have no criminal record
- Be financially sound
- You do not have to be COVID vaccinated
