Surrogacy Conditions

It takes a very special woman to become a Surrogate – it isn’t something that just everyone can do. In order to be a Surrogate, there are some requirements that you need to reach.

These requirements were set forth in order to keep you healthy and ensure that the baby will grow in a hospitable environment. Many of these requirements have to do with internal health, though there are some that have to do with external factors. These requirements have been honed with years of experience in finding women who enjoy being Surrogates and building hundreds of families.

Surrogacy is a true act of service and generosity

But there will be a physical toll on you as well. If you wish to be a surrogate but do not fit the requirements, there may be ways to get you where you need to be in order to give this beautiful gift.

Become A Surrogate

This type of surrogacy is Gestational Surrogacy, meaning the Surrogate carries an embryo that has no biological relationship to her. The egg and sperm are from other people and then they are implanted using In-Vitro.

Basic Requirements

The first step is for you to meet the minimum requirements:

You must be between 21 and 39 years old
You must be a US Citizen or Green Card Holder
You must be a non-smoker, and drug and alcohol free (you will be tested)
You must have given birth and are raising or raised a child
You must have access to reliable transportation
You must not be receiving any form of Government assistance.
You must have had complication-free pregnancies and deliveries
You must be height/weight appropriate with a Body Mass Index (BMI) no higher than 30 See BMI table and find your score:

Healthy BMI Requirements

Maintaining a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI) is an important part of qualifying to become a gestational surrogate. A healthy BMI helps reduce pregnancy-related risks and supports a safer embryo transfer, pregnancy, and delivery. During the screening process, your physician will review your BMI along with your overall health to determine whether you meet the medical requirements established by the fertility clinic. While specific BMI guidelines may vary slightly by clinic, maintaining a healthy weight improves the likelihood of a successful surrogacy journey.

Previous Healthy Pregnancy

One of the most important surrogate requirements is having at least one previous healthy, full-term pregnancy without major complications. A positive pregnancy history helps fertility specialists understand how your body responds to pregnancy and increases confidence that you can safely carry another child. At Surrogacy4All, your medical records, prenatal history, and delivery information are carefully reviewed as part of our comprehensive screening process before you are matched with intended parents, helping ensure a safe and successful surrogacy journey for everyone involved.

Non-Smoker Lifestyle

Surrogates are expected to maintain a healthy, smoke-free lifestyle throughout the entire process. Smoking, vaping, nicotine products, and recreational drug use can affect fertility treatment and pregnancy outcomes. As part of the medical evaluation, candidates may be asked to complete laboratory testing to confirm they meet the program’s health standards. Living a healthy lifestyle supports the well-being of both the surrogate and the developing baby.

U.S. Citizen or Legal Resident

To participate in the program, applicants should be a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident with authorization to live in the United States. This requirement helps ensure the medical, legal, and insurance aspects of the surrogacy journey can be managed effectively. Residency also allows surrogates to attend required medical appointments and complete the legal process without unnecessary complications.

Medical History Review

Every surrogate candidate completes a comprehensive medical evaluation before approval. Fertility specialists review your personal health history, previous pregnancies, medications, surgeries, and any existing medical conditions to determine whether pregnancy is medically appropriate. This detailed assessment helps create the safest possible experience for both the surrogate and the intended parents while supporting successful pregnancy outcomes.

Mental Health Evaluation

Emotional well-being is just as important as physical health during the surrogacy journey. All candidates participate in a confidential psychological evaluation conducted by a qualified mental health professional. The assessment helps confirm that you understand the responsibilities of surrogacy, have realistic expectations, and are emotionally prepared for the journey. Ongoing emotional support is also available throughout the pregnancy whenever needed.

Criminal Background Screening

To help provide a safe and trustworthy experience for everyone involved, all surrogate candidates complete a criminal background screening before entering the program. This review is part of the overall eligibility process and helps ensure a secure environment for intended parents, surrogates, and the future child. Background screening is completed confidentially and in accordance with applicable laws and program requirements.
