Frequently Asked Questions
Any woman, from any background, who is willing to help another couple become parents by conceiving their child can become a surrogate.

A few common requirements for a woman to become a surrogate are:
- Should be older than 25 years
- Have BMI in normal range i.e. between 22-25
- Should be a non-smoker and non-alcoholic
- Should have a child of her own
- Should not any medical history of pregnancy related illness or complications
- Should be able to travel from appointments
- Clear of any legal convictions

Yes. A woman can become a surrogate for a family member or a friend. This process is called as “identified surrogacy”. However, becoming a surrogate for a known to can cause a turmoil of emotional challenges and hence it is essential that every person involved gets a pre-surrogacy counselling and binds themselves with a legal contract despite the amount of trust or concern.
For any woman to become a surrogate for the intended parents it is essential for the two parties to enter into a legally binding contract stating all the terms and conditions specifically. Therefore, the issue of custody after the childbirth is not a problem in cases of surrogacy. And hence, the intended parents are the “legal parents” of the child. They are also the biological parents of the child.
In “gestational surrogacy”, the woman carrying the child is biologically not related to the baby. However, keeping a baby in its womb for 9 months might make them a little attached but the studies based on primary observation suggest that the surrogate pregnancies are not emotionally attached, as it is different from carrying their own children.
It is not very common, but in a few cases, surrogates may suffer in either of these ways. Every pregnancy carries certain amounts of risks to the woman. These risks can be physical or emotional such as postpartum depression. In the process of surrogacy, additional risks might be involved during the process of IVF and in the experience of the surrogate with the intended parents. Fortunately, the chances of surrogates suffering from any physical, mental or emotional distress are very low.
Yes, the intended parents are screened too. This is done to make sure that the intended parents are physically, mentally, emotionally, legally and financially ready to opt for surrogacy. The intended parents are screened with processes that involve a social check, background checks, medical histories and an in-home assessment.
