Surrogacy and Egg Donation Q and A


Surrogate Mothers Online Q & A
  • Q & A: Just Starting Out - Surrogacy

    For those just starting down the surrogacy path. Topics may include finding the right match, pros and cons of independent vs. agency, where to start, etc.

    37. My sister has suggested being a surrogate for myself and my husband. She is a single mom with a beautiful little girl. I can't find any info on sisters who are surrogates. I am very excited about this but don't know where to start. We are Canadian and can't seem to find any info. - Michele in Newfoundland, Canada - Top

    Michele,

    Your sister could be an ideal SM for you as long as you are both 100% in agreement on everything concerning surrogacy. If you have any difference of opinion you need to get that straightened out before you go any farther. My SIL was going to be our GS SM but we ended up doing AI so she couldn't help us. In our case, it would have been the ideal situation. Make sure you discuss every aspect of surrogacy and you might want to consider going and talking to a good counselor that has worked with SMs before. I hope this helps and good luck.
