intended parents – top 10 questions
Top 10 Questions to ask yourself if you are considering Surrogacy
We often suggest that Intended parents ask themselves these 10 Questions, before pursuing a Gestational Surrogacy.
- Have you found a fertility clinic to help you with your Surrogacy, if so have they medically cleared you to proceed?
- Who will represent you legally- Has your agency/consultant suggested interviewing more than one lawyer?
- Is this the right timing for you, your spouse. Is your partnership/marriage in a good place?
- Will you ask a family member, or friend, or work with an agency?
- Have you looked into the financial costs associated with Surrogacy? Is it something you can manage?
- What are your expectations on Selective reduction/termination for medical abnormalities?
- How involved do you want to be during the process? Going to Dr.’s Appointments, ultrasounds, or getting together throughout the pregnancy?
- How do you feel about your Surrogate being public about the journey- Use of Social media, facebook, and other sites?
- What are your criteria for a Surrogate- location, age, number of kids, single/married?
- If your eggs/sperm aren’t healthy- would you consider using an egg or sperm donor?
