Callie Megel, Intake Coordinator at Bright Futures Families Surrogacy, here for Ask a Surrogacy Expert. And today's question is: How do I know surrogates take care of themselves upon applying to be a surrogate, there is an intense screening process as well as an interview and a medical clearance. So the real answer to that is trust. A lot of our women who come through us to be a surrogate have already have a kind heart and truly want the best for this baby, meaning they will take care of themselves during the pregnancy before and after. Our agency does a really good job of reaching out to them and checking in on them before, during and after the pregnancy. If you have any more questions, please feel free to reach out.
