Step 1: Decide if Surrogacy is Right for You

When you reach out to our team, we will be more than happy to help you decide. Our experienced surrogacy specialists will work with you through the process, answer your questions, offer resources and anything else you might need for a successful surrogacy experience.
Step 2: Complete the Screening Process
There are different standards and requirements you must meet when you apply to be a surrogate in Idaho. The screening process helps to ensure you are a good candidate for surrogacy, keeping your health and the baby’s health in mind. You will self-voluntarily fill out a series of forms that ask questions about your medical and social history. There will also be health history questions about you and your family. In addition, you’ll complete a background and criminal clearance. From there, a social worker will do an in-home visit to interview you and anyone who lives with you to be sure you have a solid support system and answer any questions you and your family may have about the process.
While the screening process may feel like a lot, this is just to help you prepare for the surrogacy process and ensure that you and your family feel ready for the experience. We want everyone to feel good about the process and ensure the health of you and the baby is at the best it can be.
Step 3: Match with Intended Parents
Finding your perfect match is what makes surrogacy so amazing. Getting to know the people who you’ll help become parents and creating a relationship with them makes the surrogacy experience even better. During the process of becoming a surrogate in Idaho, you’ll put together a profile with your surrogacy specialist that will be shown to potential intended parents. You will also get to look through their profiles as well. Your surrogacy specialist will search for intended parents they feel will match your preferences.
We take pride in our matching process, considering factors including location, personal preferences and compatibility. Through our matching process, we only accept the best intended parents to ensure that your match results in a meaningful partnership.
Step 4: Complete Embryo Transfer
Through the screening process, you will also go through a medical evaluation that determines if you are a good fit to become a surrogate in Idaho. Once you are approved, you will need to start a series of fertility medications and other treatments including lab work to determine your fertility cycle and the best time for the embryo transfer.
The embryo transfer is a relatively short procedure that happens at the fertility clinic. You will then be required to rest there for a few hours before going to home to rest over the next few days. Taking it easy and avoiding doing anything too active will help to ensure the transfer results in a pregnancy. Once the pregnancy is confirmed you will be able to start regular appointments with your own OB.
Step 5: Welcome Baby to the World
In many circumstances, the surrogate and intended parents will share this experience in the hospital. You will decide on all of this before you get to this point. You will also decide where you will have the baby and how much you want to be involved in the post-birth celebrations. Once the baby is born and you’re discharged from the hospital, you will be able to return home to rest, knowing you changed this family’s life for the better.
