Gestational Carriers Are...
In addition to being excellent, caring mothers to their own children, GC's share a few universal qualities. They are:
Open and honest
Gestational carriers 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
Gestational carriers should clearly understand 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 GC's themselves, hear their stories, and ask questions!
Healthy
Gestational carriers 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 GC should have a strong support system and be willing to ask for help.
The Support
We welcome surrogates into a supportive community of women who guide you through the process of bringing new life to a family. You get the support of our team of coordinators who have been surrogates and understand the journey you are on first hand.
