Do I Qualify To Be A Surrogate Mother?
The decision to become a surrogate mother is one that should not be taken
lightly. While the surrogate mother process is truly a rewarding experience by
allowing you to create a miracle for another family it will take a toll on your own
body physically and mentally. You will want to take into consideration the
circumstances of your own life and if you are able to take on a new pregnancy right
now. There are many qualifications placed on a surrogate mother in order to help
keep everyone safe and make the process as easy as possible. We will always let you
know right away if you meet or do not meet the necessary qualifications.
The first qualification is that you must have had at least one child of your
own that you are raising. You must also have not had any previous birth
complications including preterm labor unless it involved multiples. You must also be
between the ages of 21-39. In order to help keep everyone healthy it is necessary
that you have a BMI of 30 or less. You must also be a United States citizen and a non-
smoker. We also require that our surrogate mothers not use illegal substances and
are able to pass a background check.
The reason we have such lengthy qualifications is to help prevent a lot of
heartache for our intended families. Most families going through this process have
struggled with infertility for years and we do everything in our power to make the
process as easy as possible for everyone involved. If you have any additional
questions regarding qualifications or if you qualify we would be happy to discuss
with you. In some instances you may just qualify at a later date and we would be
happy to help guide you through that process.
