Professional Evaluations
Intended Parent SurroStudies
A professional, empathetic home evaluation designed to document your readiness for surrogacy and provide the necessary credentials for agencies and legal requirements.
What It Is
A comprehensive home evaluation that documents readiness for surrogacy, understanding of the process, and ability to provide a stable home environment for a child born via surrogacy arrangement.
Who Needs It
Agency Clients
Most agencies require a completed SurroStudy before matching you with a surrogate.
Legal Compliance
Many states require documentation of parents’ fitness for parentage orders.
International Parents
Often need evaluations for both U.S. and home country regulatory requirements.
