Surrogacy Requirements

Must be a U.S. Citizen or U.S. Permanent Resident: To ensure the surrogacy agreement and parental rights are legally recognized and protected in the U.S.
Good physical health & BMI not exceeding 32: A healthy body and weight reduce risks of pregnancy complications, improve embryo implantation success, and support a safer pregnancy and delivery.
No more than 2 previous C-sections: Having more than two C-sections increases the risk of complications during pregnancy and delivery, such as uterine rupture and placenta problems.
No more than 5 vaginal deliveries: Limits risks of pelvic floor damage and complications in future pregnancies, helping protect the surrogate’s health.
Ages 21–36: This range offers the best balance of physical health and emotional maturity, with higher success rates and fewer complications.
Non-smoker, no drug use, no excessive alcohol: These substances increase risks of miscarriage, birth defects, and pregnancy complications.
Given birth to at least one child with a healthy pregnancy history: Demonstrates the ability to carry a pregnancy successfully, reassuring intended parents and doctors.
Regular menstrual cycles: Indicates good reproductive health and helps coordinate treatments like embryo transfer.
No criminal record: Ensures the surrogate is reliable and legally suitable to participate in a surrogacy agreement.
Financially stable & not on government assistance: Surrogacy should be a voluntary, thoughtful decision — not driven by financial desperation.
Emotionally stable & able to commit: Emotional readiness protects the surrogate’s mental health and helps her manage the demands of the surrogacy process.
Reliable transportation: Necessary for attending medical appointments and delivery on time, even with some assistance offered.
