Surrogacy Requirements
It takes a very special woman to become a Surrogate – it isn’t something that just everyone can do. In order to be a Surrogate, there are some requirements that you need to reach.
These requirements were set forth in order to keep you healthy and ensure that the baby will grow in a hospitable environment. Many of these requirements have to do with internal health, though there are some that have to do with external factors. These requirements have been honed with years of experience in finding women who enjoy being Surrogates and building hundreds of families.
surrogacy is a true act of service and generosity
But there will be a physical toll on you as well. If you wish to be a surrogate but do not fit the requirements, there may be ways to get you where you need to be in order to give this beautiful gift.Â
