Beginning Families has very extensive selection process before placing a potential gestational carrier into our database.
In addition to basic criteria, a potential gestational carrier must submit an application and conduct an in-person interview with the staff at Beginning Families.
Once this process is complete, a potential carrier can be entered into our database for review and possible matching with Intended Parents. Some basic requirements are as follows…
A potential gestational carrier must:
- Have carried at least one healthy pregnancy with no major medical complications
- Pass an initial psychological screening
- Have a clean medical history
- Be a non-smoker
- Be between the age of 21-41
