Welcome to Adonis Fertility International’s guide on becoming a surrogate! If you’re considering becoming a gestational carrier, you’re considering taking a journey that profoundly impacts your life and the lives of others. It’s a beautiful and altruistic decision. Adonis is here to help you make an informed decision.
The Role of a Surrogate/Gestational Carrier (used interchangeably here)
A surrogate, also known as a gestational carrier, is a woman who carries a pregnancy for someone else. The reasons parents choose to use a surrogate vary. The intended parents may not be able to conceive or carry a child to term, are in a same-sex marriage, are single, or simply have personal reasons. Adonis welcomes all people who want to be parents via surrogacy. As a gestational carrier, you will not have a genetic link to the baby you carry.

If you’re considering surrogacy, you’ve probably already worried about more than simply what will be required of you physically and know about making healthy life choices. Some additional aspects to consider when contemplating becoming a surrogate include psychological and emotional readiness.
Psychological and Emotional Impact of Surrogacy
- Mental Health: Each surrogate must pass a psychological evaluation to ensure her emotional readiness for the surrogacy journey. This will take place after your initial screening, and the Adonis team will remain with you during each step of your surrogacy journey. Additionally, you’ll be encouraged to discuss your concerns with a mental health professional during your surrogacy journey.
- Support System: A strong personal support system, including family and friends, is highly recommended.
Post-Birth Considerations and Postpartum Care
- Medical and Emotional Support: Receive postpartum medical care and emotional support to aid your recovery after the birth.
- Closure and Transition: Participate in counseling sessions to ensure a smooth emotional transition and a healthy closure.
- Address any other needs pertaining to your case: The Adonis team will discuss all requirements before you start the journey to ensure that your special circumstances (if applicable) are also addressed.
Relationship with Intended Parents and Baby Moving Forward
- Ongoing Contact: The level of contact with the intended parents after birth varies and will be outlined in your surrogacy contract.
