Why You Should Become a Surrogate in Santa Ana
Santa Ana is a diverse city, and many enjoy it for being a welcoming location for families. At Made in the USA Surrogacy, we enjoy the benefit of having many surrogate mothers come from this area, and they derive the extra benefit of being close to any of the fertility clinics to which they may need to travel.
There are many benefits to becoming a surrogate. The first and foremost is that you’re doing a job that not just anyone can. More and more couples experience problems with fertility, and sometimes surrogacy is their last hope for having a child of their own. As the surrogate mother, you’re that rare and special person responsible for fulfilling their miracle.
Many prospective surrogates talk about the emotional satisfaction they receive as a surrogate. Few people dramatically improve the lives of others. Surrogates are among those few. They meet with a family that is hurting and wanting, desperate to expand their family and create memories with their children. Their own biology keeps them from doing so. You’re their miracle.
Another reason that many surrogates love surrogacy in California is because it allows them to meet and make new friends. The support system is incredible. When you join a surrogate agency, you’re able to meet a group of women and intended parents who often have many of the same values, beliefs, and interests as you.
As for others going through surrogacy as well, it’s not uncommon for new friends to be made between them. Surrogate mothers love to support one another and offer advice. Because each surrogate job is different from the last, you may have questions about it. An experienced surrogate can provide you with helpful advice and emotional support when you need it most. No one else understands quite what it’s like to be a surrogate in the ways that another surrogate does.
It’s also not uncommon for you to make friends with the intended parents. Because the experience and process of surrogacy are so emotional, friendships naturally form. You’re going to become quite close to your intended parents. After all, you’re carrying their baby for them, and no one appreciates you more than they do.
Intended parents and their surrogates often remain friends for the rest of their lives even after the baby is born.
When you become a surrogate, you’re also able to experience the joys of a healthy pregnancy again. Many women love being pregnant. It’s a special time where you’re able to feel connected to something that is growing and maturing inside of you. You’re able to go through that process again, except this time, you don’t have the responsibility of another mouth to feed when it’s all said and done.

Before you qualify for surrogacy
Before you can become a surrogate, you’ll need to pass the following qualifications:
You must be financially secure.
You must be a citizen of the U.S.
Our surrogates must be between the ages of 23 and 38. Their BMI must be between 19 and 30. Because we want a healthy pregnancy for our surrogates and their surrogate babies, you must also be a nonsmoker, do not abuse alcohol, and do not use illicit drugs.
To show that you are capable of having a healthy pregnancy, you must have also had a successful birth prior to applying with us.
Finally, you must pass a physical and mental evaluation.
The Process of surrogacy with our Agency
If you pass these qualifications, you could be an excellent candidate for us. You’ll want to get started by taking our online intake form. Once that has been processed, you’ll be able to fill out our official surrogate application form. To help you, we always have an agency coordinator on hand to offer their assistance. You’ll also have a coordinator with you through every step of the process, so you know what’s expected of you.
You’ll need to submit photos of yourself, your family, and also have medical records detailing your previous pregnancy and birth sent to us.
We also need you to have a PAP smear performed within a year of applying with us. One last step that you’ll need to perform before you can join our agency is to have your OBGYN send us a clearance letter.
With all of those steps completed, you’ll become a surrogate with our agency. From there, we’ll get started on finding you a pair of intended parents who are eager to meet you.
Because the process of surrogacy can take anywhere from a year to two years to be completed, you’re going to be waiting a lot. Sometimes it can take a few months to find the right set of parents for you. Other times, you may be waiting for your medical records to be sent to us. And you’ll also be waiting while your body goes through fertility treatments.
You’ll need to have fertility treatments for the embryo transfer. Once you’ve met your intended parents and signed the surrogate agreement, the physical process begins. The intended parents will be going through fertility treatments for IVF. Their treatments help boost their fertility as much as possible, so they can donate healthy egg and sperm cells for fertilization.
IVF is the process in which those cells are fertilized. You, on the other hand, will be receiving treatments to trick your body into believing that it is pregnant. That requires different hormone levels than those of the intended parents. Once the fertility center believes that you are ready, you’ll undergo embryo transfer.
If everything goes well, you’ll be officially pregnant!
