SURROGATE REQUIREMENTS

Could You
Become a Surrogate?

Surrogate requirements are general starting points used to decide whether an application can move to individual review. Pregnancy history, current health, home support, location and availability all matter; independent clinics and professionals complete their own screening.

You May Still Qualify

A past complication or unusual situation does not always answer the question by itself.
We review the details individually and explain whether another professional needs to evaluate them.
