A typical surrogate is motivated by empathy for couples struggling with infertility as well as by financial gain for her family. However, her desire to help others must be primary.

• Surrogates enjoy being pregnant and recognize the   importance of their role. • She may or may not be married. • Some surrogates are stay at home moms while some are   working moms. • All surrogates must be currently raising their child or   children in their home. • Surrogates are usually between 21 and 40 years of age   and have the support of family and friends in regards to   their decision to be a gestational surrogate. • She and her husband/partner must be emotionally mature   enough to manage their responsibilities and the   development of a healthy relationship with the intended   parents. • Honesty, openness, flexibility and the ability to manage the   ups and downs of IVF and pregnancy are critically important   qualities in a surrogate.
