The role of the woman carrying your child is not limited to providing surrogate mother services. She is an ally who is as concerned about the result as the intended parents are, since the child's health largely depends on her health and psychological state. How to find a surrogate mother who meets your expectations, where and how to start searching for a surrogate mother, what factors to consider - let's consider each question in more detail.

How to find a surrogate mother: where to start?

You should start searching for surrogate mothers after consulting a lawyer in the field of reproductive law. This will help clarify the legal status of surrogate mother services in the country you have chosen. Not all countries that conduct reproductive programs involving gestational couriers or oocyte donors allow open advertising of their services. In some cases, contacts of such people are passed from hand to hand in informal conversations with specialists of the clinic chosen by the intended parents. If advertising of gestational courier services is permitted or at least not prohibited, then the following may serve as sources for finding surrogate mothers:

• private databases of reproductive clinics - perhaps the best option of all. You can be sure that the proposed candidates for surrogate mothers have positive experience of participating in reproductive programs, and if you need donor eggs, the clinic can also provide candidates for the role of oocyte donor;
• surrogacy and oocyte donation agencies are also a fairly reliable means to find a surrogate mother who meets all the requirements of the intended parents;
• one can find a surrogate mother among their relatives or friends;
• one can also search for a surrogate mother on social networks and specialized forums on the Internet.

When searching for a surrogate mother, intended parents need to be aware of the mandatory requirements that are stipulated by the laws of most countries where a surrogacy program can be implemented. The requirements are as follows:

• being 21-42 years old;
• having at least one healthy child of her own, born naturally (not a strict requirement);
• having a satisfactory health condition, allowing to carry a pregnancy to term (confirmed by the results of examinations and the conclusion of a reproductive specialist);
• being psychologically suitable for the role of a surrogate mother (confirmed by the conclusion of a reproductive psychologist);
• having no hereditary conditions, STDs and contraindications to pregnancy; 
• having no bad habits (alcohol, smoking, substance use), confirmed during the initial examination as well as by the results of dynamic tests during the program.

Finding a surrogate mother who meets your requirements is only half the battle. The decision to accept your candidate into the reproductive program is up to your attending physician. A reputable reproductive clinic can only take on such responsibility based on the results of its own examination of the potential surrogate mother. Given this fact, the most preferable way to find a surrogate mother in terms of saving time and money is to use the reproductive clinic's database.

How to Find a Surrogate Mother with a Guarantee of Giving Birth to a Healthy Baby

When thinking about how to find a surrogate mother, you need to consider not only the price of her services and the approval of the candidate found by the attending physician, but also two other important aspects: guarantees of the birth of a healthy child and the absence of problems with the legalization of the newborn (including the absence of claims to guardianship over it on the part of the surrogate mother). 

On the one hand, nobody can guarantee you 100% success of IVF and a cloudless pregnancy for the surrogate mother. On the other hand, if you think not only about how to find a surrogate mother, but also how to become parents with her help, you can consider participating in guaranteed reproductive programs.

The Feskov Human Reproduction Group Guaranteed Program is a comprehensive approach to fulfilling your main dream - the birth of a healthy child. Participation in our program allows you not only to easily find a surrogate mother and oocyte donor (if necessary) in our own huge database, but also by paying a one-time fixed cost to receive:

• unlimited number of IVF (creation and transfer of embryos into the uterine cavity of the gestational courier will be carried out until pregnancy occurs and a healthy child is born. No re-payments in case of IVF failure, termination of pregnancy or the need to replace the surrogate mother);
• PGD ​​to exclude chromosomal pathologies in the embryo (the method also allows you to determine and choose the sex of your child for medical and ethical reasons);
• full coverage of expenses for the surrogate mother during pregnancy and the postnatal period (pregnancy monitoring, labor management, compensation payment, etc.);
• guest service: accommodation and three meals a day, concierge service for expectant parents on the eve of the birth of the child;
• full legal assistance until the child receives citizenship of your country.

This is not a complete list, we always have something to offer to the most demanding future parents: elimination of predisposition to more than 500 hereditary diseases, the opportunity to become parents remotely without visiting Ukraine, the birth of a child in the country of your choice (in the USA and Canada, with a bonus in the form of the child receiving citizenship) and many other services at a fixed price.

By cooperating with our surrogate mothers, you can be sure of their experience, ability to bear your child, responsible attitude to their health and absence of claims on the child carried for you. Throughout the pregnancy, we carefully monitor the health of the surrogate mother and the child and always keep the future parents informed. After the birth of the child, your parental rights will be 100% ensured by a contract concluded in accordance with the Laws of Ukraine, recognizing the biological parents as the only legal representatives of the child.
