Surrogates Are...
In addition to being wonderful, caring mothers there are a few universal qualities that surrogates share. They are:
Open and honest
Surrogates should open and honest about everything from their past to situations arising during pregnancy.
Great communicators
Excellent communication is critical in any relationship.
Organized
There are many items to coordinate, including travel, screenings, evaluations, treatments, pregnancy and let's not forget your own family life! Being organized can make your journey smooth and simple.
Aware and ready
Surrogate should have a clear understanding of surrogacy and be aware of the surrogacy process, medications, commitments, and more. Knowing what to expect will help your journey go smoothly; ask questions, research, and learn before you commit. Our Case Managers have been surrogates themselves, hear their stories, and ask questions!
Healthy
Surrogates need to be healthy and ready for pregnancy before they begin, and during the pregnancy, they need to be active and receive excellent prenatal care.
Supported
Pregnancy, even an easy one, can be challenging; a surrogate pregnancy is no different; it's essential to have a positive and supportive environment. A great surrogate should have a strong support system and be willing to ask for help.
