How Surrogates and Intended Parent(s) Meet

Centers around the country offer programs for intended parents to meet potential gestational carriers (surrogates). Each is typically directed by a licensed social worker and represented by legal counsel. Once a potential gestational carrier (surrogate) completes an extensive application, she is screened and referred to a licensed psychologist for evaluation before being admitted into a program. Intended parents must also complete an application, and once invited into a program, they are matched with a potential gestational carrier (surrogate) of their choosing.

The potential gestational carrier (surrogate) is evaluated here at Fertility Specialists Medical Group for medical evaluation and, if appropriate, procedures that will lead to conception and birth. Counseling is provided throughout the pre-pregnancy period and during the pregnancy. Professional services are designed to help you through your surrogacy experience in a positive environment.
