What Surrogates Can Expect During Intake

Starting your journey as a gestational surrogate is an exciting and meaningful decision. At Family Source Consultants (FSC), the intake process is designed to be thorough, supportive, and informative, ensuring you feel confident and prepared from the very beginning.

Here’s what you can expect during the surrogate intake process and how our team supports you every step of the way.

A Warm and Informative First Step

The intake process begins with your initial application. This allows our team to learn more about your background, health history, and motivation for becoming a surrogate.

From there, a member of our intake team connects with you to walk through the process, answer your questions, and provide a clear overview of what lies ahead. This is not just about qualifications, it is about making sure you feel informed and comfortable moving forward.

A Detailed Review of Your Background

During intake, we take time to understand your medical history, pregnancy experience, and overall health. This includes reviewing prior pregnancies, delivery outcomes, and lifestyle factors.

You’ll also discuss your support system, availability, and any preferences you may have for your journey. This helps ensure you meet initial requirements and that surrogacy is a good fit for your life.

Education and Transparency

One of the most important parts of intake is education. Our team provides a clear explanation of:

• The full surrogacy process and timeline
• Medical and legal steps involved
• Expectations during pregnancy
• Compensation structure and benefits
• Communication and relationship dynamics with intended parents

We believe informed surrogates feel more confident and have more positive experiences, so we take the time to ensure nothing feels unclear or rushed.

Getting to Know You Beyond the Basics

Intake is also about understanding who you are as a person.

We’ll talk about your personality, communication style, and what you’re looking for in a journey. Whether you prefer frequent connection with intended parents or a more structured approach, your preferences matter.

This information becomes an important part of the mutual matching process later on.

Building Your Profile

As part of intake, you’ll begin creating your surrogate profile. This includes personal details, photos, and information that will eventually be shared with intended parents during the matching process.

Our team helps guide you through this so your profile feels authentic and representative of who you are.

Ongoing Support From the Start

From your first conversation, you are supported by a team that is available to answer questions, provide updates, and guide next steps.

You’ll never be left wondering what comes next. Our intake team ensures clear communication and consistent follow-up as you move into screening and matching.

A Thoughtful and Supportive Process

The intake process is not meant to feel overwhelming. It is designed to ensure you are informed, prepared, and confident before moving forward.

At FSC, we take the time to get to know you, support you, and set the foundation for a positive and rewarding surrogacy journey.
