Can I be a surrogate if I’m single? You can absolutely be a surrogate if you are single! Being in a relationship or married is not a requirement to be a surrogate. Please keep in mind that any sexual partner you have, will have to be drug/STD tested just as you, yourself will. We strongly recommend that this testing be completed before any physical contact.  The testing of any partners or even possible partners will be written in the contract that you will sign before embryo transfer happens.  This is so we can keep you, and the baby you will/are carrying safe and as healthy as possible.

BMI Requirements A majority of the fertility clinics we work with will require a BMI of 32 or lower prior to medically clearing you to move forward. There’s research showing that high BMI can increase the risk of IVF not being successful. There are also complications that can affect the pregnancy, to include Gestational Diabetes, high blood pressure, higher risk of miscarriage and stillbirth, among other things. While during your surrogate screening with Abundant Life Surrogacy, we will ensure that your BMI is within the ideal range prior to matching you with prospective Intended Parents. Our ultimate goal is for the pregnancy to be uncomplicated, safe, full term, and healthy!
