Gestational Surrogates are required to be in a financially stable living situation. This is essential to ensure that the surrogate can fully focus on the pregnancy without financial stress. There are strict regulations regarding the reporting of income while receiving government assistance, and any compensation you receive as a surrogate could affect your eligibility for these benefits. As a result, we cannot accept applicants who are enrolled in certain government programs, including:
- Cash assistance
- Welfare
- Public housing
- Section 8 housing
These guidelines protect both the surrogate and the intended parents. Ensuring financial stability helps create a secure and supportive environment for the surrogate throughout the surrogacy journey.
