Frequently Asked Questions

Surrogacy is a process where a woman (known as a surrogate) agrees to carry and deliver a child for an individual or couple (known as intended parents) who are unable to conceive or carry a pregnancy.

Babymoon Surrogacy specializes in gestational surrogacy, where the embryo is created using the intended parents’ or donors’ genetic material - the surrogate is not genetically related to the baby.

The surrogacy process generally takes 12 to 18 months from application to delivery. Timelines vary depending on factors such as intake, medical records, matching, medical evaluations, legal agreements, and pregnancy progress.

Eligible candidates are typically women between 21 and 40 years old (some clinics accept up to 45). They must have had at least one healthy, full-term pregnancy and delivery, a BMI between 19 and 32, and a stable, healthy lifestyle.

Candidates also complete medical, psychological, and background screenings to ensure they’re emotionally and physically prepared for the journey. Requirements may vary by IVF clinic.

Babymoon Surrogacy provides personalized guidance and support to both surrogates and intended parents throughout every step of the process. Our dedicated journey coordinators offer education, emotional support, and ongoing communication to ensure everyone feels informed and cared for.

Yes. Surrogacy is generally very safe, both medically and emotionally.

Every journey is carefully managed by licensed fertility specialists, obstetricians, and mental health professionals. Before starting treatment, surrogates complete thorough medical, psychological, and legal screenings to ensure readiness and health. Once the IVF process begins, the surrogate is closely monitored throughout pregnancy and after delivery.

This comprehensive, ethical care ensures each journey meets the highest standards of safety and support.
