Surrogacy and Egg Donation Q and A


Surrogate Mothers Online Q & A
  • Q & A: Typical Requirements & Screening - Surrogacy

    Topics may include the screening process, qualities to look for in an SM/IP, typical requirements for becoming an SM, etc.

    7. I have met a wonderful couple and plan to be their GS. I am just getting ready to begin the screening process. My question is this: About 4 years ago, I had a genital wart. It was removed and I have been free of them ever since. Will this be held against me? Will I still be able to be a GS? - Donna - Top

    Donna,

    To my knowledge the former genital wart should not be a problem with you being a GS. Just make sure you are completely honest with your potential IPs and the RE. The RE will be the one to determine if there is a medical concern here. Good luck.

    Donna,

    First I would be honest and tell your couple. Genital Warts is not that big of a deal. I would tell the agency you're working with and I would tell the RE you are working with too!

    Honestly, I don't think that Genital Warts is anything to disqualify you.
