Whether or not you maintain contact with the child after birth typically depends on the agreement made between you and the intended parents.

We encourage all parties to discuss and define their expectations beforehand so everyone feels comfortable and supported throughout the journey.

The specifics of the relationship can be tailored to what both the surrogate and Intended Parents are comfortable with.

Question 5

Can I work a full-time job, while being a surrogate?

Yes, many surrogates are able to work full-time while carrying a pregnancy. However, it's important to consider the physical and emotional demands of being a surrogate. You'll need to attend medical appointments and follow any specific guidelines from your healthcare provider. It's essential to discuss your work situation with your doctor and our team to maintain a healthy balance.
