Hey, everyone, it's Amanda Kinnard-Fuchsgruber, Director of Bright Futures Families Surrogacy, with today's Ask Question. And the question is: Do intended parents pick the surrogate or does the surrogate pick the intended parents? And the honest answer is both. So everybody has a choice. Everybody has a decision in this process. And so, yes, intended parents are presented a profile, and they get to say yes or no to the surrogate. The surrogate also gets an intended parent profile, and they get to say yes or no to the intended parents. And even after a match meeting, they both have the option to say yes or no if they want to continue with the match. So, honestly, everybody has a choice, and we're looking for the best possible fit for everyone to make this a successful journey. If you have any questions, please reach out.
