]]> 85253 2 0 Step Think it through Do the math. A $20,000 fee sounds good — until you break it down into hourly wages! Consider the lengthy application process, the time and effort it takes to become impregnated — usually a few artificial insemination or embryo transfer cycles of several weeks each — and the nine-month gestation period.

]]> 85254 3 0 Tip If you have health insurance, some agencies may require you to use it for the pregnancy.

]]> 85255 4 0 Step Understand the two kinds of surrogacy Understand the two types of surrogates. Traditional surrogates allow their own eggs to be inseminated, and are thus the biological mothers of the children they bear. Gestational carriers are impregnated with an embryo created from the couple’s egg and sperm.

]]> 85256 5 0 Tip To minimize custody fights, some states and most surrogacy agreements forbid surrogate mothers from donating their own eggs.

]]> 85257 6 0 Step Be qualified Determine if you’re eligible. Most agencies require surrogate mothers to be between ages 18 and 40 and have spotless medical and criminal records. Some maintain a height-to-weight ratio, and only take married women who have already given birth without complication.

]]> 85258 7 0 Step Find an agency Find an agency that matches surrogate moms with infertile couples. Look for one that’s been around a long time, and check them out with the Better Business Bureau before contacting them.

]]> 85259 8 0 Step Ask about pay Ask how you will be paid. Some surrogates get their entire fee shortly before delivery; others receive monthly payments. Expenses are generally paid directly by the agency.

]]> 85260 9 0 Step Complete an application Apply to be a surrogate. With most agencies, this means completing a lengthy personal questionnaire. Usually you are asked to include references and several pictures of you and your family.

]]> 85261 10 0 Step Get checked Get checked out. Have all your medical files released, ask your local county sheriff’s office to complete a criminal history form, and undergo a psychological exam. If you’re married, your husband will be tested, too.

]]> 85262 11 0 Step Meet potential parents Meet couples looking for a surrogate. You have the right to turn down parents who are interested in you, and vice versa.

]]> 85263 12 0 Step Work out the details When a match is made, hammer out an agreement. Decide how involved the parents will be in the delivery, and whether you may contact the baby after the birth. Discuss potential complications like multiple pregnancies and birth defects, too.

]]> 85264 13 0 Tip Legally, genetic parents can neither force their surrogate to have an abortion, nor prevent her from doing so.

]]> 85265 14 0 Step Read the small print Read the small print before you sign a contract. You’ll probably be responsible for reimbursing the couple’s expenses if you quit the program, get pregnant by someone other than the sperm donor, or are found to have lied on your application.

]]> 85266 15 0 Step Chart your temperature Once you’re accepted, begin charting your temperature first thing every morning to prepare for the insemination process.

]]> 85267 16 0 Step Know your rights Know your rights. Some couples try to control aspects of their surrogate moms’ lives beyond what’s in the contract — from diet to bedtime — though they have no legal right to do so.

]]> 85268 17 0 Fact In 2005, an Arizona woman acting as a gestational carrier gave birth to five healthy children!
