Seeing surrogates on Instagram and TikTok can make the journey look fun and glamorous. But have you ever wondered if you have what it takes to join their ranks? If you’re getting excited by the posts and videos, hold on a minute. Being a surrogate is much more than what you see online.
Think anyone can be a surrogate? Think again!
Not everyone makes the cut.
You may be surprised at all the requirements and checks surrogates have to go through and why we have these rules.
We’re going to run through:
The types of surrogacy - What’s the difference between traditional and gestational surrogacy?
Medical Prerequisites - What you must have to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
Mental and Social Readiness - Why you need a solid support system and how mental preparedness impacts the journey.
Legal and Financial Considerations - If you think a big pay day is guaranteed, then you need to hear this!
Negotiations and Personal Choices - You have more control than you think!
The truth is, guidelines and requirements are not just paperwork; they’re essential to a healthy and successful surrogacy journey.
