Becoming a surrogate (Gestational Carrier: GC) is a profound and life-changing decision. It is a journey that requires dedication, empathy, and a robust support system. At Giving Tree Surrogacy, we understand the complexities and emotional nuances involved in this journey. That's why we take pride in providing comprehensive support, ensuring that surrogates are well taken care of every step of the way. You benefit from our extensive experience in the field of surrogacy. In this blog, we will delve into the many ways Giving Tree Surrogacy supports surrogates, making their experience as smooth and rewarding as possible.
Comprehensive Medical Care and Psychological Support
During the screening process you will undergo a psychological examination. This is to ensure you are mentally prepared to enter a surrogacy journey and understand the gravity of the commitment. Normally psychological screening is done prior to any medical screenings.
1. Thorough Medical Screenings
From the moment a potential surrogate expresses interest, Giving Tree Surrogacy ensures that she undergoes thorough medical screenings. This includes a complete health evaluation to ascertain her eligibility and readiness for the surrogacy process. We collaborate with top medical professionals to conduct these screenings, ensuring that both the surrogate and the intended parents can proceed with confidence. Normally these medical screening(s) are done at the IVF clinic where the pre-embryo embryo transfer will take place and the embryo transfer itself.
2. Regular Health Monitoring
Throughout the pregnancy, surrogates receive regular health check-ups and monitoring. We coordinate with trusted healthcare providers to ensure that surrogates are in optimal health. This includes routine prenatal care, ultrasounds, and any necessary medical interventions. GCs should expect to be seen by a medical professional at least once a month once pregnant and more before pregnancy is achieved. Our goal is to ensure the well-being of both the surrogate and the baby.
3. Health Insurance: Prior to you undergoing any medical procedures you will be provided with health insurance. You may have an existing medical insurance plan that will cover surrogacy or not. Giving Tree will work with you to determine if your insurance is adequate or you need an additional policy. This is part of our service to you.
4. Personalized Health Plans
Recognizing that each surrogate's health needs are unique, we provide personalized health plans. These plans are tailored to address specific medical conditions, dietary requirements, and lifestyle preferences. Our medical team is always on standby to address any health concerns and provide expert advice.
Emotional and Psychological Support
1. Dedicated Counseling Services
The surrogacy journey can be emotionally taxing. To support surrogates, Giving Tree Surrogacy offers dedicated counseling services. Our licensed therapists specialize in reproductive psychology and provide a safe space for surrogates to express their feelings, fears, and joys. Regular counseling sessions help surrogates navigate the emotional complexities of surrogacy.
2. Peer Support Groups
Connecting with others who are on a similar journey can be incredibly comforting. We organize peer support groups where surrogates can share their experiences, offer advice, and build a supportive community. You will also be able to speak with experienced GCs to learn from their experiences. These groups foster a sense of camaraderie and belonging, helping surrogates feel less isolated.
Financial Security and Legal Protection
1. Transparent Compensation Packages
Giving Tree Surrogacy believes in providing fair and transparent compensation packages. Surrogates receive financial compensation that reflects their commitment and effort. Our packages cover medical expenses, travel costs, and other associated expenses, ensuring that surrogates do not incur out-of-pocket costs. Your lawyer can assist you with this and the compensation information will be included in your gestational surrogacy agreement.
2. Comprehensive Insurance Coverage
We provide comprehensive insurance coverage to surrogates. This includes health insurance, life insurance, and additional coverage for unforeseen medical events. Our insurance policies are designed to offer peace of mind, knowing that surrogates and their families are financially protected.
3. Legal Support
Navigating the legal aspects of surrogacy can be daunting. We provide surrogates with expert legal support to ensure that all contracts and agreements are clear and fair. Our legal team assists with the drafting and review of contracts, helping surrogates understand their rights and obligations. You will have your own legal counsel apart from that of the Intended Parents.
Practical Assistance and Lifestyle Support
1. Travel Arrangements
For surrogates who need to travel for medical appointments or procedures, Giving Tree Surrogacy handles all travel arrangements. This includes booking flights, arranging accommodation, and providing transportation to and from medical facilities. Our goal is to minimize any logistical stress for surrogates.
2. Nutritional and Fitness Guidance
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial during pregnancy. We offer nutritional and fitness guidance to help surrogates stay healthy and fit. Our dietitians and fitness experts provide personalized plans that cater to the specific needs of each surrogate.
3. Maternity Care Packages
To make the pregnancy journey more comfortable, we provide maternity care packages. These packages include essential items like maternity clothing, prenatal vitamins, and other pregnancy-related products. It's our way of showing appreciation and ensuring that surrogates have everything they need.
Ongoing Communication and Relationship Building
1. Regular Updates and Check-ins
Effective communication is key to a successful surrogacy journey. We maintain regular contact with surrogates, providing updates and check-ins to ensure that they are well-informed and comfortable. This continuous communication helps build trust and transparency.
2. Facilitating Relationship with Intended Parents
Building a positive relationship between surrogates and intended parents is crucial. We facilitate regular meetings and communication between both parties, helping them bond and understand each other better. This mutual understanding and respect enhance the surrogacy experience.
3. Postpartum Support
Our support doesn’t end with the delivery of the baby. We provide postpartum support to help surrogates transition back to their regular lives. This includes postpartum medical care, counseling services, and support groups. We ensure that surrogates receive the care they need after their incredible act of generosity.

At Giving Tree Surrogacy, we recognize and honor this commitment by providing comprehensive support that addresses every aspect of the surrogacy journey.
