At Delivering Hope, a premier surrogate agency, we are deeply committed to supporting surrogates through each stage, from the initial application to the completion of their journey. As you consider this life-changing step, we aim to provide clarity around the initial application process, what Delivering Hope requires of our surrogates, and how we continuously support our surrogate families.
Understanding the Application Process at Our Surrogate Agency
At Delivering Hope, the first steps are intentionally structured to ensure our surrogates are prepared, comfortable, and fully supported. Here’s a detailed look at the early stages of our surrogate application process:
Step 1: Submitting Your Application
Applying to become a surrogate begins with completing our initial application form. This preliminary step allows us to better understand your background, health history, and motivation for becoming a surrogate. At Delivering Hope, our application process is thorough yet straightforward, designed to ensure every surrogate candidate feels confident, informed, and supported right from the start.
When filling out your application, you will provide basic details, health history, lifestyle information, and your preferences regarding the surrogacy journey. This information helps our expert team determine initial eligibility and allows us to understand your unique story.
Step 2: Personal Interview & Screening Process
After your initial application has been reviewed and meets our preliminary criteria, the next step is a personal interview. At Delivering Hope, we understand the importance of flexibility and convenience. Your interview will typically be conducted via Zoom, ensuring accessibility and comfort from your own home.
During the interview, our compassionate surrogate coordinators and case managers will take the time to thoroughly discuss your application, answer any questions you have, and delve deeper into your motivations and expectations. This step is crucial in establishing trust, clear communication, and ensuring alignment with our surrogacy program. Our goal is to ensure that every surrogate feels supported and valued from the very beginning.
Following the personal interview, there will be additional screening steps. These include medical evaluations, psychological assessments, and background checks. Delivering Hope holds these screenings to the highest standards to ensure both the surrogate’s health and the wellbeing of intended families.
