Key Steps
We strongly recommend seeking experienced advice, whether from a professional, a former gestational carrier, or an intended parent during the decision-making process. Numerous resources exist, including our agency, to help surrogate mothers understand all facets of the process, including the facts, commitments, and potential impacts.
Often, potential surrogates do not know anyone who has personally experienced surrogacy. Please do not hesitate to call us, and we can put you in contact with other intended parents or surrogate mothers.
Gestational carriers must meet physical and psychological health qualifications to be considered candidates for the TSEᅠsurrogate program.
The basic qualifications include:
A psychological evaluation, home visit, and background check are performed before each is qualified to match with the intended parents. We get to know our potentialᅠsurrogates personally and understand their motivations. We ensure that ourᅠsurrogates are emotionally, physically, and psychologically ready before entering our program. Once accepted, we provide strong support for ourᅠsurrogates throughout the process from decision to beyond delivery.
Your particular circumstances will dictate what medical procedures are required for surrogacy. However, all cases will involve aspects of In Vitro Fertilization or IVF. The fertilization process is conducted by qualified fertility clinics with expertise in IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies.
The process of preparing your body for the embryo transfer and pregnancy is very specific and must be followed diligently. Injections are part of the process and may be necessary for several months. If you do not have someone to help you administer injections, a nurse at your fertility center can assist you.
