As a Pennsylvania Surrogate, matching with Intended Parents can feel intimidating and extremely stressful, but your Care Team is ready to guide you every step of the way. The good news is, Pennsylvania is considered a surrogacy-friendly state, meaning it is legal for you to become a surrogate in Pennsylvania. Below you will find helpful advice for navigating the Pennsylvania surrogate matching process with ease. It is our goal to ensure that Surrogates have a successful and beautiful family-building experience.
Tip 1: Transparent Communication
Effectively communicating with your potential Intended Parent(s) is essential for a successful match. It is important to convey your ideas through open and honest dialogue. Make sure to be upfront about your expectations, while also carefully listening to the Intended Parent(s)’s concerns and needs. Establish clear boundaries and set realistic goals for how often you will keep in touch throughout the surrogacy process.
Tip 2: Establish Rapport
While effective communication is key to building a successful surrogacy journey, establishing strong rapport is equally important. This will help you build a solid relationship with your Intended Parent(s). Doing so makes the entire experience pleasant and more fulfilling. Take the time to get to know your Intended Parent(s) and learn about why surrogacy is their path to family building. In a warm and genuine way, show excitement about helping them create their family.
Tip 3: Legal Items
As a woman, you undoubtedly have your own personal views regarding the topic of selective reduction and termination. It is absolutely crucial to discuss these scenarios and agree on expectations with your Intended Parents. At Golden Surrogacy, we respect everyone’s personal beliefs and values related to this topic. All parties to a surrogacy arrangement must share similar views on this important matter before agreeing to match.
These are just a small sample of the helpful tips and advice available to you through our surrogacy program. During the matching stage of your surrogacy journey, a member of your Care Team will guide you through an in-depth matching preparatory process.
