One of the most important stages in a\u00a0surrogacy program<\/strong>\u00a0is selecting the\u00a0surrogate mother<\/strong>. The baby\u2019s well-being and health during the first months of life largely depend on how responsibly the surrogate approaches her role.<\/p>\n

Intended parents who require\u00a0surrogacy services<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0often face a serious dilemma when deciding to have a child through a surrogate. The first step is to determine whether they will go through the surrogacy journey independently or with the assistance of an agency.<\/p>\n

If the intended parents choose to manage the surrogacy program independently, they typically turn to their\u00a0reproductive gynecologist<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for help in selecting a surrogate mother. In most cases, the doctor refers them to a partner agency with which they collaborate.<\/p>\n

As a rule,\u00a0surrogacy agencies<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0first clarify with the intended parents how much they are willing to pay the surrogate mother and for the agency\u2019s services. After that, they begin searching for potential surrogates through social media platforms. The cost of all necessary medical examinations for the surrogate is covered by the intended parents.<\/p>\n

Independent agents bear no responsibility or financial obligation for organizing these medical examinations \u2013 all risks are borne solely by the intended parents. The drawback of this approach is that none of the examined surrogate candidates may ultimately meet the required criteria, which can result in the intended parents losing the money they have already spent.<\/p>\n

Unlike independent agents, agencies assume all the risks instead of the intended parents. Services provided through an agency are usually more affordable, and the time required to find a\u00a0surrogate mother<\/strong>\u00a0is much shorter. Therefore, it is generally more advantageous to work with a specialized agency. However, this raises an important question \u2013 how can one choose the right specialized agency?<\/p>\n

First, intended parents should find out what criteria the agency uses when selecting surrogate mothers.<\/h2>\n
