Meeting your surrogate can be worrying, nerve-wracking and also exciting… But it’s just like going on a date. Awkward at first, but remember, your potential surrogate is also in the same boat.
Every first conversation is different, but the first meeting is just about getting acquainted.
We are sharing some tips below that can help you have a great first meeting and get you one step closer to achieving your dream!
- Take a deep breath and relax!
This meeting is about getting to know each other. So just relax and be yourself!
- Research and be prepared
Read your surogate’s profile well, so you are fully aware of her background. Most agencies prepare a full detailed profile of the surrogates, which they will share with you. In case you are video calling, check your internet, and speed. Create notes on the questions that you would like to discuss with her, to get to know her and her wishes better.
- Be curious!
Try and get to know your surrogate and her family better. Share about yourself, talk about your wishes and hopes. Also, ask about what she does, together with her family, her lifestyle and in their free time. Ask questions, but don’t interrogate!
- Finances
This is not the place to talk money. Financial topics are arranged during the legal discussions and contract creation. Having an agency helps to organize financial arrangements. Focus on knowing each other.
- Remember the reason of the call!
Sometimes, it’s easy to hit it off straight away with your potential surrogate! In such a case, it is possible to forget asking important questions. To avoid forgetting important questions, we have created a list of questions.
