Gestational Surrogate FAQ's
At Choice Surrogacy®, we have specific requirements to ensure that our surrogates are well-suited for the journey ahead. The key requirements for a surrogate in our program include:
Good Family Support: The surrogate must have a supportive family environment.
Communication is Key: We have an intimate screening process where one person alone has the final say of approval after much input from the team. This allows the critical look at timely and mannerly communication. Mandatory 24 hour or sooner responses are required. Just as we promise prompt communication, we expect prompt responses.
Authentic Motivations: The surrogate should have a genuine desire to help another family and her own through the financial rewards that surrogacy compensation provides.
Stable Living Environment: The surrogate must have a stable and secure living situation.
Healthy Pregnancy and Life Habits: The surrogate must maintain healthy lifestyle habits and have a history of healthy pregnancies.
Criteria Outlined by ASRM: The surrogate must meet the criteria established by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), of which we are members. This ensures that medically, psychologically and socially she is a suitable candidate for surrogacy.
