● Home visits and evaluations are conducted to verify that the surrogate meets our criteria and is living a healthy lifestyle, as well as to gather information about the surrogate’s needs and values.● Obtaining insurance approval for coverage.● Routine monitoring throughout the gestational surrogacy journey to ensure a safe and satisfactory outcome.● Obtaining the assistance of an international lawyer with long-term surrogacy and egg donation experience.

Our Approach to Screening

Global Surrogacy Services is committed to performing thorough evaluations that at all times respect the privacy and needs of our prospective surrogates. The process is designed as much to protect surrogates as the interests of children and intended parents. The truth is that relatively few women really can or should be a gestational surrogate and those who are not accepted by us should nevertheless feel proud of their willingness to help other people in this very intimate way.
