Surrogacy Concierge: What to Look for in a Surrogate
Embarking on the journey of surrogacy is a significant and emotional experience. At Surrogacy
Concierge, we understand the importance of finding the right surrogate to help build your
family.
Here are key factors to consider when choosing a surrogate:
- Health and Medical Background
● A surrogate should have a healthy medical history, with no major complications in
previous pregnancies. Comprehensive medical screenings are essential to ensure the
surrogate is physically capable of carrying a pregnancy to term without significant
risks. - Emotional Stability
● Emotional well-being is just as important as physical health. A surrogate should be
emotionally stable, with a strong support system of family and friends. Psychological
screenings help ensure she is prepared for the emotional aspects of surrogacy. - Experience with Pregnancy
● Experienced surrogates who have had at least one successful pregnancy and childbirth
are often preferred. This experience provides reassurance that the surrogate
understands the demands and complexities of pregnancy. - Legal Readiness
● Surrogacy involves intricate legal agreements to protect the rights of all parties
involved. A surrogate should be willing to undergo legal counseling and enter into a
clear, legally binding agreement that outlines everyone’s rights and responsibilities. - Lifestyle and Habits
● A surrogate’s lifestyle plays a critical role in the health of the pregnancy. Non-smokers,
those who abstain from drug and alcohol use, and individuals with healthy living habits
are ideal candidates. It’s important to discuss lifestyle expectations and ensure they
align with your values. - Communication and Openness
● Open, honest communication between the intended parents and surrogate is vital. The
surrogate should be willing to maintain regular communication, providing updates and
being transparent about any issues that arise during the pregnancy. - Motivation for Becoming a Surrogate
● Understanding a surrogate’s motivation can provide insight into her commitment.
Many surrogates are motivated by a genuine desire to help others build their families,
which can foster a positive and supportive relationship throughout the surrogacy
journey.
At Surrogacy Concierge, founded by Evie Jeang, we are dedicated to guiding you through every
step of this life-changing process, ensuring that you find a surrogate who meets all these
essential criteria and more.
