Surrogacy Qualifications
Most surrogacy agencies and fertility clinics require surrogates to meet
the following general qualifications:
General information is provided here but for detailed information about all
aspects of surrogacy
Indian surrogacy has long been a popular option for international intended
parents but, like most in ternational surrogacies today, has recently gone
through major legislative reform to bring regulation to the surrogacy
process. Because of this, if you’re an international intended parent
The ban on foreign intended parents in 2015 was only the start of
legislation regulating surrogacy. In December 2018, after almost two
years of debate, an Indian surrogacy law was passed that:
These changes reflect a new era of surrogacy in Asia; other countries like
Thailand and Nepal have recently implemented surrogacy bans, as well.

Like all international surrogacies in lesser -developed countries, the
protections available for intended parents and surrogates are less
available — and have led to harmful results. W hen Indian surrogacy first
became a booming industry, there were no regulations in place, and
unsafe and unethical practices developed in response. 7
The women who chose to become surrogates in India during this time
were subjected to unethical treatment, poor living conditions and
exploitation. To keep up with demand from international intended parents,
Indian surrogacy agencies effectively ran “baby factories,” where Indian
women were forced to live until they gave birth to the intended parents’
babies — with usually no assistance for the family they had left behind
while pregnant.

process more difficult or completely impossible, rathe r than safer. 9

surrogacy in a safe, well -regulated way, and many surrogacy
professionals advise it be at the top of your list. 11

For many intended parents, looking for a surrogate mother is one of the
most exciting, yet overwhelming, steps in the surrogacy process.
Individuals and couple s looking for a surrogate mother often must meet
certain agency requirements before inquiring about an available surrogacy
situation. Generally, prospective intended parents must have a completed
in-home assessment and background clearances before an agenc y will
match them with a prospective surrogate.
Once both parties are interested in moving forward, you will have an
opportunity to get to know each other better before continuing with the
surrogacy process. 13
