Using Your Sister as a Surrogate: Things to Think About
Short answer: yes! Your sister CAN be your Surrogate!
But should they? Keep reading to find out⬇️
I am not here to judge. But as an agency director, my advice is that if you are interested in pursuing a gestational surrogacy journey with a family member as your Surrogate, you should first consult with a mental health professional that works in the surrogacy industry. All parties should meet and discuss the journey and their expectations in order to make an informed decision.
It is important to consider a multitude of factors when making this decision.
Additionally, keep in mind that this person cannot skip any screenings and there still needs to be a legal contract in place.
So while you may be able to utilize a family member, there are still important steps that cannot be skipped.
At the end of the day, this is your family building experience and only you know what is right for you.
