Medical Prerequisites - What you must have to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
Mental and Social Readiness - Why you need a solid support system and how mental preparedness impacts the journey.
Legal and Financial Considerations - If you think a big pay day is guaranteed, then you need to hear this!
Negotiations and Personal Choices - You have more control than you think!
The truth is, guidelines and requirements are not just paperwork; they’re essential to a healthy and successful surrogacy journey.
