Surrogate Mother Requirements
Surrogate mother requirements are, frankly, a big deal. Here at Global Surrogacy Services LLC., we strongly believe that the women who become surrogates are truly special people: caring, compassionate, determined, and strong. They deserve the very best. On the other hand, becoming a surrogate mother involves providing an agency with a great deal of information. For many medical and legal reasons, there are a number of essential surrogate qualifications, some of which may not be under your direct control.
