Growing Generations Surrogate Requirements
Being a surrogate is an act of incredible generosity and unparalleled empathy. If you are considering becoming a surrogate with Growing Generations, you will need to meet our minimum requirements. Our health, lifestyle, and financial criteria helps ensure the health and safety of the surrogate and the baby.
Our requirements and qualifications include:
Lifestyle Requirements
Do not use tobacco and have no exposure to second-hand tobacco use. Surrogate applicants must be tobacco-free for 12 months minimum before applying.
Live in a surrogacy friendly state. If you reside in a state where surrogacy is risky or not legal, Growing Generations will not be able to consider you as a surrogate candidate. These states include Alaska, Louisiana, Nebraska, New York, and Wyoming.
If you are not a United States citizen, you must have a Green Card that will remain valid for the next three years.
No criminal history. Growing Generations does not accept surrogates who have been convicted of a felony or whose partner has been convicted of a felony.
Financial Requirements
As part of our commitment to the well-being of both the surrogate and baby, we ensure that all potential surrogates have financial stability. This helps guarantee that the surrogate's personal circumstances won’t add stress to the process, allowing her to focus on her health and the successful completion of the journey.
Surrogacy should not be a sole source of income for anyone interested in becoming a surrogate.
Health Requirements
Between the ages of 21-38 years old.
Have had at least one pregnancy and delivery.
Have not had a past occurrence of serious pregnancy complications. Examples include toxemia, pre-eclampsia, preterm labor, incompetent cervix, and pregnancy-induced hypertension. We do not accept surrogates with a history of these complications.
Complete a mental health history screening. Certain conditions, such as unresolved major depressive disorders, psychotic disorders, substance abuse issues, or serious anxiety disorders, may disqualify a candidate.
Handle stressful situations well and have family or friends who will provide emotional and logistical support throughout your journey.
Do not have any health conditions that can be exacerbated by pregnancy.
Have a healthy body mass index (BMI) below 32.

The Process to Becoming a Surrogate
With over 25 years of experience, Growing Generations has worked—and continues to work—with surrogates who reside all over the United States, as well as intended parents who reside on six different continents.
Surrogates are vital to helping individuals and couples grow families of their own. Our team is dedicated to making this a life-changing, fulfilling journey for surrogates and the intended parents. We support and take care of our surrogates from the moment they apply.
The first step to becoming a surrogate is to complete a quick survey to see if you qualify. Once qualified, you will complete our full surrogate application.
After you submit your surrogate application, it will be reviewed by our team. If your surrogate application is approved, you will be invited to schedule a consultation.
This process includes a review of your pregnancy-related medical records, income documentation, surrogacy preferences, and general paperwork. You will also complete psychological screening with a mental health professional.
During this time our matching team works hard to identify the right intended parent match for you. Once matched, your journey begins.
