Hi, it's Janelle Ibarra, of Bright Futures Families Surrogacy, with Ask a Surrogacy Expert. Our question is: Can I be a surrogate if I took an antidepressant for postpartum depression? So your medical records are going to be reviewed, and for something like that, we would just need a letter from your doctor stating that it is okay for you to become pregnant again. Clinics require typically that surrogates or potential surrogates have not taken antidepressants within six to 12 months. And so if that's something that warrants further discussion or if you have any questions, please contact us.
