Becoming a surrogate is an incredible journey, and after all the hard work and thorough screening, getting approved is just the beginning. Now, you’re stepping into a new phase, where you can match with intended parents and become an active surrogate. So, what happens next? From creating your surrogate profile to waiting for the right match, each step brings you closer to helping make a family’s dream come true.
The Matching Phase
Once you’ve completed the medical and psychological screening process and are officially approved, you’ll enter the matching phase of your journey. At this point, you’ll transition from being a candidate to an active surrogate, ready to be matched with intended parents. Your surrogacy agency will create a detailed profile featuring personal, medical, and lifestyle information. The goal is to highlight your motivation, family life, and a detailed pregnancy history to ensure a successful, safe match.
Waiting for a Match
This phase can vary in duration, depending on the specific needs and preferences of the intended parents. While you’re waiting to be matched, you can start preparing for the surrogacy journey by learning about the process and connecting with others who’ve walked a similar path. Your surrogacy agency can help ease any anxiety and provide a sense of community during this transitional period. While waiting can feel uncertain, it’s an integral part of the surrogacy process that ultimately brings hope towards creating a family.
Your Unique Surrogacy Timeline
The surrogacy matching stage is a crucial moment for both prospective parents and surrogates. It’s vital to dedicate the necessary time to ensure that everyone shares compatible values, expectations, and goals for the journey ahead. By taking your time and embracing your unique surrogacy timeline, you can cultivate a positive and supportive relationship with intended parents, ultimately leading to a successful surrogacy experience.
As you start to build this essential connection, open communication and mutual respect are crucial. Working with an experienced surrogacy agency can simplify this process by facilitating communication, answering your questions, and ensuring everyone is on the same page from start to finish.
