Why Is Surrogate Screening Important
Screening surrogates at the beginning of the surrogacy journey isn’t just a requirement—it protects their health, honors their time, and sets everyone up for a safe, positive experience. By preparing thoroughly before pregnancy, we help create a smoother journey for surrogates and their intended parents.
Before becoming a surrogate with Giving Tree Surrogacy, you’ll complete a comprehensive pre-screening. This ensures your health, safety, and readiness are thoughtfully considered while you make this important decision. Every step is designed to protect your well-being and meet fertility clinic and intended parent requirements.
What to Expect: Surrogate Pre-Screening
Before you are officially matched, we begin with a series of evaluations to confirm your eligibility:
-
Health and Pregnancy History – We’ll review your past pregnancies and overall health to make sure you meet basic surrogacy requirements.
-
Medical Records Review – A thorough review of your OB/GYN and hospital records from all previous pregnancies.
-
Background Check – Supports a safe and transparent process for all parties involved.
-
Insurance Review – We’ll evaluate your health insurance policy to confirm surrogacy coverage or identify if a new policy is needed.
-
Psychological Pre-Screening – A licensed mental health professional will assess your readiness for the emotional aspects of surrogacy.
In-Journey Screening
Before starting any medical procedures, you’ll be connected with an independent attorney experienced in reproductive law.
Your attorney will:
-
Review your surrogacy agreement line by line.
-
Explain your rights, responsibilities, and legal protection.
-
Ensure all terms are fair, clear, and enforceable before you sign.
