Hey, everyone, it's Amanda Kinnard-Fuchsgruber, Director of Bright Futures Families Surrogacy, with today's Ask question. And today's question is how much contact as a surrogate do I have with intended parents? And honestly, it depends on your relationship with intended parents. Typically, you're connected with the parents pretty early on in the process, but there again, it depends on how that organic relationship evolves, what kind of expectations you all went into this, what kind of relationship you are wanting and what kind of relationship they were wanting and how that grows and develops. But honestly, once you're put in contact with each other, it's up to everyone involved in how much contact that will be, when it will be, how it will be. I know some people just text each other. Some people have weekly calls, some people do like bi weekly facetime. It really honestly is up to you and your match and what works for you. We'd love to work with you. If you have any other questions, let us know.
