Whether you are a surrogate mother or an intended parent, Adoption and Surrogacy Choices of Colorado can show you how surrogates and intended parents are matched through gestational surrogacy.
Colorado Surrogacy Qualifications for Surrogate Mothers and Intended Parents
Before being matched, there are qualifications that every intended parent and potential surrogate mother must meet. To start, the surrogate mother must have had a previous, successful pregnancy. She must find pregnancy enjoyable and be willing to experience a bit of discomfort to bring a new life into the world. Most importantly, we look for surrogate mothers who wish to help a loving couple or individual grow their family.
For intended parents, you can be of any background, and our surrogacy agency will help you. We help transracial, same sex, single, and heterosexual couples and individuals grow the family they have been hoping for. At our surrogacy agency, we believe that anyone who wants a family should have the chance to do just that. To ensure everyone’s health and safety, we require our surrogates and intended parents to pass physical and psychological screenings. After each party passes these, you are able to go onto the next step in the surrogacy process — matching!
How Surrogate Mothers and Intended Parents are Matched through Our Surrogacy Agency
Our surrogacy agency uses a variety of factors to ensure the best matches between surrogates and intended parents. This can include, but is not limited to:
- Personality (i.e. specific characteristics and traits)
- Location
- Family Values
- What each party wants out of the surrogacy journey
Surrogates and intended parents have the opportunity to view profiles to see who they’d like to work with. Once interest has been shown, your surrogacy specialist will let the surrogate or intended parent know. If mutual interest is reciprocated, your surrogacy specialist will arrange an interview that can be held either in person or virtual. This allows the surrogate and intended parent to get to know each other better, and to discuss more about their expectations for the surrogacy process and beyond.
What Happens after the Matching Process?
After being matched with your surrogate mother or intended parent(s), you will have access to our team of surrogacy professionals who will help guide you every step of the way. You can also speak with our in-house legal representatives to work out a suitable legal contract for your surrogacy journey. This is to ensure that everyone’s best interests are kept in mind. If you are in need of additional emotional support, our surrogacy agency offers free counseling services.
It’s crucial to us that surrogate mothers and intended parents find their best match. Both the surrogate mother and the intended parents have the same goal: to bring a life into this world. So, being able to build a strong relationship and celebrate all the little victories along the way can make your surrogacy journey more fulfilling.
