REQUIREMENTS

Carrying a child for another family is an incredible gift — and a big responsibility. We deeply understand this at TFS, where over half our staff have been surrogates themselves. Therefore, we have established specific requirements to become a surrogate. Some of the qualifications to become a surrogate are easy to measure; others are less straightforward. The criteria to be a surrogate includes, for example, the requirement to devote time, energy and exceptional levels of commitment to the experience. All the requirements are set to make sure that the experience is positive, life-changing and able to result in an extraordinary outcome, for yourself and the intended parents. 

REQUIREMENTS FOR BEING A SURROGATE

There are additional requirements beyond the physical, too. In order to serve as a surrogate with TFS, you also need to fit the following characteristics:

● U.S. citizen or permanent resident
● Have a positive support system to help you throughout the surrogacy
● Reliable transportation for appointments

If you have any questions about surrogacy or the requirements of becoming a surrogate, please don’t hesitate to CONTACT our office via email support@ustfs.com.cn. We are happy to clarify and discuss any concerns that you may have prior to taking the next step. For those that meet the surrogate requirements and would like to move forward with our program, we invite you to fill out our INITIAL CONTACT FORM.

From a medical health standpoint, there are a variety of surrogate qualifications that participants must meet, regarding age, weight, past pregnancies and lifestyle habits. These include:

● Being between the ages of 21-40
● A BMI no higher than 32
● A history of giving birth to and now be raising at least one child of your own
● No major complications during previous pregnancies or deliveries
● NON-smoker
● NOT taking any illegal substances or medications that have not been prescribed by a physician
