What to look for in a Gestational Surrogate
When you’re looking for a gestational surrogate, there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind. Here are some factors to consider:
- Health and medical history: You want to make sure your surrogate is healthy and doesn’t have any medical conditions that could make the pregnancy more complicated.
- Age: Generally, surrogates should be between 21 and 40 years old. This helps keep the risks of complications lower.
- Pregnancy experience: It’s important that your surrogate has had at least one successful pregnancy before.
- Emotional and mental stability: It’s essential to make sure your surrogate is emotionally and mentally stable and comfortable with the surrogacy process.
- Relationship with intended parents: You’ll want to find a surrogate who is comfortable with you and is willing to have an open and ongoing relationship with you throughout the pregnancy.
- Legal and ethical considerations: Make sure your surrogate is aware of the legal and ethical considerations of surrogacy and is willing to follow all the necessary procedures and agreements.
- Financial stability: It’s also important to find a surrogate who is financially stable and not currently receiving government assistance.
Ultimately, the most important thing is finding a gestational surrogate that you feel comfortable with and trust to help bring your child into the world. It’s also essential to have good communication and a positive relationship with your surrogate throughout the surrogacy journey.
