Qualifying to Become a Surrogate: Round One

Surrogacy agencies like Adoption and Surrogacy Choices of Colorado are full-service and reputable, so you can rest easy knowing you’re in good hands. To ensure that surrogates will have a healthy pregnancy, we require a few things to qualify to be a surrogate mother. It may seem a little picky, but it all leads to greater success in fertilization and pregnancy. So what is required in order to qualify as a surrogate through an agency? Every agency may be different, but most adhere to basic standards. Here are just a few of the requirements for our agency, but you can find the full list on our website.

  • Be between the ages of 21 and 39
  • Must be a U.S. citizen and currently living in the United States.
  • Have had at least one healthy pregnancy with no complications and parenting a child currently
  • Can not have any mental health issues, including a history of postpartum depression, or be on any medications for mental health issues.
  • Free of sexually transmitted diseases and generally healthy.
  • Do not smoke, take illegal drugs, or are alcohol dependant
  • Can pass a background check
  • Can not be parenting any children on Medicaid, food stamps, or TANF, or currently on public assistance. You must be financially stable.

This list can feel like it’s a little much, but following these guidelines as well as those set by fertility clinics and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) is in everyone’s best interest. Surrogacy isn’t something anyone wants to cut corners on.

Qualifying to be a Surrogate: Round Two

Once you pass the first trial, we move on to round two. Level up! Next is the screening process, including the application, social and medical history, a physical and emotional exam, background checks, and an in-home assessment.

Again, we know this is a long and tedious process, but we promise it’s worth it. If it’s any kind of consolation, the intended parents also go through rigorous screenings to be sure they are ready for parenthood.

Compensation for a Surrogate Through a Surrogacy Agency in Colorado

Surrogacy is a beautiful and selfless thing, but the Colorado surrogacy process on top of pregnancy is pretty expensive. Even for those who are financially stable, surrogacy can be a squeeze on your wallet. Another great reason to work with a surrogate agency is getting that compensation package and knowing exactly what you’re getting and when you get it. When searching for agencies, you may be looking for the highest pay, but transparent information about compensation is arguably more important. Typically, payments are made in pre-agreed installments that go directly to the surrogate for her to use as needed. Some agencies will boast high payment, but it might not be what it seems. Surrogate compensation may not mean the same to some agencies as it does to others, and your compensation might come with some caveats. Adoption and Surrogacy Choices of Colorado is upfront and transparent about your compensation breakdown. We’ll let you know what expenses are covered, as well as your base compensation. Honesty is a key factor in successful surrogacy, and that begins at the root.
