Hi, everyone. Ashley Old, case manager with Bright Futures Families Surrogacy, here with your Ask a Surrogate expert question. And this week's question is, do I have to be in a relationship or can I be single when acting as a surrogate? You can absolutely be single and still be a surrogate. What matters most is that you have a strong support system in place for your journey. A support system that will help with child care, helping during pregnancy and delivery. Thanks for the question.
