Surrogate Requirements
I was a gestational surrogate with a successful delivery in 2024. I recently decided that I wanted to pursue a second journey while I’m on the right side of 40. During my first journey I went to therapy thinking it was a smart, protective measure. I started seeing the therapist in the third trimester and thru the 4th. Unbeknownst to me she diagnosed me with a couple conditions, borderline personality disorder and social pragmatic communication disorder. This was brought to light when the new agency I wanted to work with did their medical record review.
I’m so frustrated. Mental health diagnoses like that are kryptonite for surrogacy candidates I guess. I’m really not sure what my next step should be, should I just give up this dream of helping someone grow their family?
