Surrogates undergo a comprehensive screening process that includes medical evaluations to ensure they can safely carry a pregnancy, psychological screenings to confirm they are mentally prepared for the journey, and background checks. We also consider the candidate’s previous pregnancy history and overall health.
To become a surrogate, candidates typically need to have had at least one successful pregnancy, be in good physical and mental health, and meet certain age criteria. The basic requirements to become a surrogate with Fairfax Surrogacy are:
