A gestational carrier, also known as a surrogate, undergoes a screening process before being approved for the role. A psychological evaluation is a crucial part of this process. The purpose is to ensure that the gestational carrier is mentally and emotionally prepared for the responsibilities and potential challenges that come with carrying a child for the intended parents.

 

Here are some aspects commonly covered in a gestational carrier's psychological evaluation:

 

• Mental Health Assessment

• Motivation and Understanding

• Support System

• Emotional Stability

• Communication Skills

• Expectations and Boundaries

​

The evaluation aims to select individuals who demonstrate a strong psychological readiness and commitment to undergo the surrogacy process in a healthy and responsible manner.
