The Surrogacy Process in Dallas

The surrogacy process in Dallas typically involves several key steps:

Step 1. Matching

GSHC pairs intended parents with surrogates based on matching preferences, personalities, and values. Intended parents will review candidate profiles to learn more about prospective surrogates and identify possible matches before meeting them.

Step 2. Legal and Medical Procedures

Legal representatives for the intended parents will draw up a legal contract outlining the expectations for the partnership, setting requirements and boundaries for the entire process. The surrogate will review the contract with her own lawyer to ensure she’s comfortable with it before all parties sign the agreement.

Once these legal processes are completed, the surrogate will begin hormone treatments to prepare her body for pregnancy. Embryos are then created and transferred to the surrogate’s uterus.

Step 3. Pregnancy and Birth

GSHC supports surrogates throughout the entire pregnancy, and all parties remain in communication throughout the process. Surrogacy contracts specify the delivery hospital, which will be chosen by the surrogate herself; whether the birth will be vaginal or through a planned cesarean section; and the nature of communication between the parties after delivery.

Surrogacy in Dallas FAQs

Surrogacy requirements vary slightly from provider to provider but are designed to ensure the surrogate is mentally and physically suited for surrogacy, protecting both her well-being as well as that of the baby.

Surrogate requirements typically include:
- Age 21–40
- At least one successful pregnancy, no more than five
- Healthy BMI (31 or less)
- Smoke-free, drug-free
- No felony convictions
- No communicable diseases
- Financial stability, without government assistance
After completing comprehensive mental and physical health screenings, surrogates create profiles detailing their background, personality, and motivations for becoming a surrogate. Intended parents review these profiles and, with GSHC’s help, choose the surrogate who’s right for them. The parties meet and discuss expectations, and if they decide to pursue surrogacy together, they draw up legal contracts to formalize the partnership and outline responsibilities and boundaries for the entire process.
Costs of surrogacy in Dallas will vary depending on medical procedures, legal fees, and total surrogate compensation, which can vary based on prior surrogacy experience, any special or unexpected medical needs, and any special requirements outlined in the surrogacy contract. Surrogates are compensated with an initial base pay and then receive regular payments to cover medical and logistical expenses they incur throughout the pregnancy.
Gestational surrogacy, in which the surrogate is not genetically related to the baby, as well as traditional surrogacy, in which the surrogate uses her own eggs and is therefore genetically related to the baby, are both available and legal in Dallas. However, traditional surrogacy is much more emotionally and legally complex, and is therefore much less common. At GSHC, we specialize solely in gestational surrogacy.
In Dallas, the surrogacy contract will stipulate how much the surrogate will be compensated for her time and effort. Surrogates receive an initial base pay, determined based on experience and any specific requirements outlined in the surrogacy contract. In addition to base pay, monthly allowances, reimbursement for insurance premiums and prescription copays, allowances for maternity clothing, and more will also be provided, as agreed upon in the surrogacy contract.
