Hi, it's Janelle Ibarra from Bright Futures Families Surrogacy with Ask a Surrogacy Expert. Our question is: Can I have pets while I'm a surrogate?

So, yeah, you can have pets. You may have some restrictions, though. For example, we wouldn't want you changing the litter box if you have a cat because that could cause harm to the baby. There may be a few other things, but we'll take that on a case by case basis. So please let us know if you have any questions.
