Episode 1XX – Education – Do I qualify for surrogacy?
This question is relevant for both IPs (Intended Parents) and surrogates.
For IPs – basically you need to not have a uterus (be a same sex male couple, or a single man, or were born without a uterus, or have had a hysterectomy), or have confirmation from a specialist that carrying a pregnancy is too great a risk to yourself or the baby.
For surrogates – basically you need to be fit and healthy enough to have another pregnancy, for example, if you were to have another child for your own family.
