Surrogacy is a meaningful commitment, and it’s important that we start from a place of safety, readiness, and support for you and your intended parents.

To move forward as a surrogate applicant with Built Together Surrogacy, you’ll need to meet a few basic criteria that are essential to keep your health front and center.

To protect your health and ensure the best possible outcomes for everyone, there are some medical & lifestyle basics we need to start with.

To move forward, you should confirm:

• You are between 21 and 43 years old

• You have a body mass index (BMI) between 19 and 35
  If you’re unsure, you can check using this calculator:
  https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/calculate-your-bmi

• You have carried and delivered at least one full-term pregnancy without major complications
  (Examples of complications that may affect eligibility include: blood clots, gestational diabetes requiring medication, pre-eclampsia or toxemia, pregnancy-induced hypertension, preterm labor before 30 weeks, or an incompetent cervix, etc.)

• You are currently parenting at least one biological child

• You are a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or green card holder
  (If you are not a U.S. citizen, your green card must remain valid for at least the next three years)

• You have a high school diploma or GED

• You have an established OB/GYN, or be able to provide at least five years of consistent gynecological medical records

• You have had a Pap smear within the last three years with no abnormal results

• You have no history of nicotine or drug use during any of your pregnancies

• You are tobacco-free, including vaping and marijuana, with no exposure to second-hand smoke for at least the most recent 6 consecutive months

• Have no felony criminal history, for yourself or your partner

• Have financial stability
  (Your compensation should not be relied on as a sole source of income. Also, if your family relies on government assistant programs beyond State Health Insurance, you should reconsider applying to be a surrogate)

A Note From Us

Meeting the initial criteria helps both of us determine if becoming a surrogate is a safe option for you! Being honest with yourself in this stage will ultimately save you potential heartache and time if you intentionally withhold information.

If you’re unsure about any of the criteria and how it might affect your application, we’re always happy to chat!
