Potential Surrogates first complete an extensive questionnaire; the completed questionnaire gives us substantial information about the potential carrier, including her pregnancy and health history, as well as details about her life from childhood through to today. After careful review of the carrier questionnaire, a member of the CSED. Surrogacy Team will interview the potential surrogate to ensure that she understands and is committed to the process, as well as to make sure she will meet all of the fertility clinic requirements. We also obtain a copy of the carrier’s pregnancy related medical records, including her prenatal, labor and delivery records. If those records reveal any information that is not consistent with the information provided by the carrier, the carrier will not be accepted into our program. If the records reveal any concerns, e.g.,. pregnancy related medical issues that could cause a problem in future pregnancies, we will have these issues reviewed by a medical professional at one or more of the fertility clinics with whom we work. We also always work alongside the carrier’s own obstetrician, so that they can give us his or her opinion about whether the potential carrier can become pregnant again without risk. Finally, we perform a background check on the potential carrier and all other adults living in her home.
