If you’re considering becoming a surrogate and your spouse has a criminal record, you may be wondering about the eligibility criteria.
Every situation is unique, and that’s why we’re here to help you understand why your spouse’s record might influence your eligibility to be a surrogate.
If you have any questions about our surrogate requirements, then contact us online now or text us at 913-204-0224.
Can I Be a Surrogate if My Spouse Has a Record?
This will depend on the nature of the offense and how long ago it occurred. For instance, if the record involves a non-violent offense like a DUI from over 10 years ago, it may not be a disqualifying factor. If your spouse has a violent criminal record, then that will impact your eligibility to be a surrogate.
Each situation is handled on a case-by-case basis and we encourage you to reach out to us to discuss your specific situation. We’ll assess the details and can provide guidance on whether you qualify to become a surrogate.
Can I Be a Surrogate if My Spouse Has a Felon?
Your eligibility will largely depend on the nature of the felony and how long ago it occurred. While each case is unique, the presence of a felony on your spouse’s record may make you ineligible to become a surrogate. Our top priority is ensuring the safety and well-being of all parties involved in the surrogacy journey.
These requirements aren’t meant to exclude you but rather protect you and the baby you intend to carry. Each situation is unique and if you feel that there’s a special circumstance in your case, please reach out to us. We can provide you with personalized guidance on whether your situation makes you eligible to be a surrogate.
Can I Be a Surrogate if My Spouse Has Been Arrested?
This will depend on the nature of the arrest. If the arrest was for a non-violent offense and occurred some time ago, it may not necessarily disqualify you from becoming a surrogate.
We approach these situations on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the circumstances for which your spouse was arrested. Our primary concern is making the process safe for everyone involved.
I Don’t Qualify to Be a Surrogate, What Now?
If, based on our assessment, you don’t qualify to be a surrogate, there are other ways you can be involved. You can always refer a friend to our surrogacy program and receive $5,000 in referral fees if they qualify and proceed with the process.
Here’s how our referral program works:
-
Step 1: Refer a friend who you believe will make a great surrogate.
-
Step 2: Your friend will go through our initial screening.
-
Step 3: Once approved, they’ll join our program and be matched with intended parents.
-
Step 4: You’ll receive a $5,000+ referral fee within 30 days of the embryo transfer.
We understand it may be disheartening that your spouse could potentially impact your eligibility to be a surrogate. If your situation changes in the future, please reach out to us. We value your commitment to changing lives and we want to do everything we can to help you become a hero in someone else’s story.
