Who Is a Surrogate Mother?
A surrogate mother, also known as a gestational carrier, carries a pregnancy after an embryo transfer. But she is not the baby’s biological mother.
Who Can Become a Surrogate Mother?
The surrogacy journey begins with a screening process of both the surrogate and the intended parents.
The laws of Florida recognize surrogacy as legal. Florida law allows surrogacy, and while requirements may vary, many surrogate mothers are expected to meet certain qualifications, including:
- Be at least 21 to 42 years of age.
- Have already given birth to a healthy child.
- Have had a healthy pregnancy with no major complications.
- Be in good physical and mental health.
- Live a healthy lifestyle without smoking or illegal drug use.
- Pass medical and background screenings.
- Be a U.S. citizen, Green Card holder, or legally authorized to reside in the United States.
These steps help protect both the surrogate and the baby.
What Happens After You Apply?
If you meet the basic requirements, you will be required to go through medical and personal screenings. Next, you will be matched with intended parents seeking a surrogate.
Before the pregnancy begins, you will need to complete legal agreements so everyone understands their rights and responsibilities. Our team will walk with you through every stage.
