Apply to Become a Surrogate in Rhode Island

Every surrogate carrier must first meet our requirements to be accepted into the program. These requirements are standard for an agency that prioritizes the health and safety of their surrogates and the children they’ll carry above all else. We recommended reviewing the below list before completing a surrogate application:

• Be between the ages of 21 and 44 years old (exceptions may be made for experienced surrogates)
• Be a non-smoker
• Must have given birth before (with no medical complications and no more than three c-sections)
• Have a BMI of 18-33

Every application is reviewed on its own merit and with care. If we find that you’ve met our criteria, then our team will connect with you to initiate the screening process.

Step 1: Fill Out an Application

The surrogate carrier application will ask you to detail your history as accurately as possible with details relating to your medical, pregnancy, and delivery histories being of top importance.

Step 2: Complete the Surrogate Screening

Our team will review your application and determine if you are a good fit for the program. The next step is to participate in a series of interviews with our team so we can get to know your personality and expectations. We will also do a deep dive during these interviews about the information you provided in your application.

Step 3: Create a Surrogate Profile

Upon acceptance into our program, we’ll next create a surrogate profile that will be viewed by intended parents with whom you could potentially be matched. Please note, this contains no private information. It simply outlines your past pregnancy and delivery history along with details about who you are as a person. Your contact information, etc. are not provided to anyone outside of our staff at this time.

Step 4: Get Matched With Intended Parents

Now that it’s time to get matched with your intended parents there are just a few steps that need to take place before we can officially get started with your surrogacy journey. First, we need to meet with you and the potential intended patents separately. We’ll interview both parties about their expectations for the surrogacy process and if there is a connection between the answers we receive, we’ll schedule a group conference. In the group conference, we’ll ask everyone about preferred communication style/goals, the plan for multiples if this should occur, and everyone’s support systems.

If agreements are made across the core topics discussed at this stage, then congratulations! You are now matched. You are ready to start the surrogacy journey.
