Become a Surrogate in Folsom

Surrogacy in Folsom, CA

If you’ve been searching for surrogacy near Folsom, start by filling out our online intake form. When that form is checked out and approved, then you’ll be contacted by an agency coordinator who will help you fill out the official surrogate application form.

While you wait for that form to be approved, you’re going to need to start pulling together some paperwork for us.

The first is that we’ll need your medical records and documentation that proves you’ve had a successful birth before. The medical records will also help us determine how healthy you are. Because this process can take a while, it’s best to get started with it immediately.

We’ll also need a photo of your family and a clearance letter from your OBGYN.

Finally, you’ll need to have a PAP smear performed within the year of applying with us.

Process of Surrogacy in Folsom

Once that has all been submitted and finished, we can officially welcome you into the agency. We’ll match you with an intended couple that is eager to meet you. Also, we’ll help you find a surrogate attorney and surrogate health insurance. Few policies actually cover surrogates, so we can help you find a policy that actually works for your needs.

After that has been completed, you can begin the process in truth. Fertility treatments from the treating fertility clinic will be the first step to become a surrogate. These are to help prepare you for the embryo transfer. The intended parents will also be receiving treatments to prepare them for IVF. One such IVF clinic in the Folsom area that you go to could be this one.

IVF involves the donation of egg and sperm cells most of the time from the intended parents but also from an egg donor and or sperm donor. They’re placed together in a petri dish where the sperm can more easily fertilize the egg.

The result is an embryo. Once the embryo is formed and you have taken all medications, you’ll be sent to embryo transfer!

Qualifications for Surrogacy in Folsom

The overall goal of becoming a surrogate is to provide a healthy pregnancy that produces a healthy child. In some cases, certain women just aren’t healthy enough to carry another child safely. Those women are barred from becoming a surrogate to save their own health as well as the child’s health. To ensure that you have a healthy pregnancy, here are some of the qualifications that we expect you to meet in order to join our agency.

The first is that you need to be a US citizen. Even if you live in Folsom, you might end up being a surrogate mother for someone elsewhere in California or even across the country or even an international couple.

We have a ton of surrogates come out of the Folsom and northern CA region, so you will be in good company!

You also need to be of relatively good health. This means that you have to be between the ages of 23 and 38, have a BMI between 19 and 30 (check your BMI here), and that you aren’t a smoker. You should be clean from any substance abuse problems.

To further determine whether you can have a healthy pregnancy or not, we also ask that you have had at least one successful birth before. Successful means that the child was born without any complications.

We also ask that you are financially secure.

Finally, you must undergo a physical and mental evaluation before you can be considered to join our agency.

The Right Mindset

Before attempting to be involved with surrogacy in Folsom, you first need to ensure that you have the right mindset for it. Becoming a surrogate is a long process. At the very least, you can expect to devote a year to the process and most likely two. It involves fertility treatments, being matched with an intended couple, the actual pregnancy, and then the recovery process after giving birth.

Most surrogates devote anywhere from a year to two years per surrogate job. If that’s a commitment you’re not sure that you can make, then being a surrogate might not be the best job for you.

However, if the idea of giving a couple the chance to be parents to their own child is something that drives you, then surrogacy in California may be made just for you.

Besides time, a lot of energy is involved, too. You have to attend appointments, visit with the intended parents, and deal with the less than pleasant consequences of pregnancies, too. However, you’re an experienced mother at this point. You likely have a routine down to handle that morning sickness and other side effects.

What’s being a surrogate worth to someone? When you become a surrogate with our surrogate agency, you can expect to be generously compensated.
