Insurance Check ✔️
If you do not already have insurance its perfectly fine as the IPs will purchase an insurance policy . Sometimes insurance doesnt always cover surrogacy so the IPs would also end up purchasing a policy anyhow . Depending on the insurance you have it can be helpful but not all the time ! For my experience , i do not have insurance so my future Intended Parents will have to purchase my policy . This has kind of hindered my process as insurance enrollment is tough right now . We will get there :)

Home visit and Partner Interview!
I had a choice of having an in person home visit or over video chat . I wanted to meet the coordinator in person and let her visit the house. This is to ensure that you are in a safe home ! No one cares about asthetics just a safe environment for a pregnant lady !

Partner Interview: you do not need to be married in order to be a surrogate nor in a relationship! Since im married the coordinator called jacob and asked how he felt about all the processes and procedures and to make sure i have support and to go over any questions he had !

After Medical Records have been reviewed you will then set an OBGYN Appointment to get an updated PAP smear and make sure you are healthy 😊
Not sure if this post will get flagged for talking about female health but its for education purposes!

The next step after the initial application is to gather medical records . This is to ensure you have had healthy pregnancies and there is nothing that could hinder pregnancy or the IVF process for your health :)
My situation for example: i was considered high risk as i have had a heart murmur so i also needed to visit my cardiologist and get the Okay :)

It has been fun to talk about all things surrogacy and share the process ! Thank you for being here 💟

Lets talk about the initial application!

This application is to get a feel if you are interested in being a surrogate. Takes about 10 minutes to complete. This will determine if you make a good canidate ! You then will be contacted by our coordinator to go over any questions . This is also a time nothing is set in stone so you have time to make a decision or get more information☺️ if you are considering surrogacy and want to take the quiz here you go 😊

Interested in surrogacy but aren't sure if you qualify? Take this short quiz to find out!

Hey 👋
If you dont already know me , my name is Merissa Kalar . I have two beautiful and amazing Daughters and an incredibly supportive Husband ❤️ I have always thought about surrogacy especially after having my 1st baby but never really looked into until recently. Both pregnancies where incredible and healthy ! I love being pregnant so i decided to take a leap and see what surrogacy is all about .

At the end of October 2023 i asked in a mom group if anyone had experience as a surrogate and i got a message from a sweet mama that had already been a surrogate and was expecting to start her 2nd journey. She sent me a little quiz and from there i heard back from the agencys coordinator! I was nervous and slightly emotional at the time , i had no idea what i was getting into!

I was worried i wouldnt have a chance being a surrogate as i have a heart murmur and i have had a miscarriage, but after visiting my OBGYN and Cardiologist rest assured im healthy and a perfect candidate ❤️
Im just barely 5 months into the beginning of my journey but good things take time and i know the perfect parents whom ill carry for is out there 🥰 the process of being a surrogate is long but its all for good reasons.
