Connecticut surrogacy process

It’s an empowering and rewarding decision to become a surrogate mother in Connecticut. Connecticut is a safe, legal environment for intended parents and surrogates. Altruistic or compensatory, learning some about the Connecticut surrogacy process allows you to make an informed decision before starting your journey.

Why Connecticut Is a Top State for Surrogacy

Connecticut is known to be one of the most surrogacy-friendly states in the country. The legal framework is surrogacy-friendly, courts are receptive, and hospitals are as good as they get. Connecticut leads the way among some of the other surrogacy-friendly states’ law-based gestational surrogacy arrangements among unmarried couples and married couples, and LGBTQ+ intended parents.

This transparency in law is reassuring and provides one with openness from beginning to end.

Step-by-Step Guide to Becoming a Surrogate

Step 1 – Meeting Eligibility Requirements

You will require Connecticut surrogate qualifications prior to the application being submitted. Common requirements are:

  • Aged between 21 and 39 years
  • Having given birth once in the past
  • Having a healthy Body Mass Index
  • Being a non-drug user, non-smoker
  • Being in accordance with the findings of mental, medical, and background checks

Surrogacy4All agencies comprehensively screen all candidates to provide surrogate-intended parent compatibility as well as safety.

Step 2 – Medical and Psychological Screening

Step two involves cautious checks. Fertility clinics conduct cautious body checks, bloodwork, and check-ups on the uterus. Other than these, a registered mental health professional checks your surrogacy emotional compatibility.

This makes you physically and mentally prepared to bear somebody else’s pregnancy.

Step 3 – Matching with Intended Parents

The most thrilling aspect of the match is the match itself. Intended parents and surrogates are matched based on emotional compatibility, communication mode, and mutual respect for each other. A tie of trust and respect is formed through an ideal match.

A Connecticut surrogate matching occurs between 1–3 months, depending on the degree of compatibility and what one desires.

Step 4 – Legal Contracts and Protection

There must be a complete legal agreement that is signed by all of the surrogates and prospective parents prior to medical intervention. Responsibility, medical choices, remuneration, and confidentiality are covered in the agreement.

Pre-birth orders under Connecticut surrogacy laws are allowed, so parents are legally formed even ahead of time. Reproductive law specialists will draft and file your documents for protection on all available grounds.

Step 5 – Medical Procedures and Pregnancy

After contracts are signed, fertility specialists perform embryo transfers through IVF. You’ll receive medications to prepare your uterus, followed by embryo implantation. If the transfer is successful, prenatal care begins under close supervision.

Surrogates receive continuous medical and emotional support from their agency and clinic team throughout pregnancy.
