Background Checks
Background Checks

Background checks often include criminal records, educational milestones, employment and credit history, driving records, and even social media.

They often utilize third-party resources such as educational, banking, and law enforcement institutions. The purpose of a background check is to ensure that the intended parent(s) are a right fit for a newborn baby in all ways – financially, psychologically, etc.

Support

Respect
Respect

It is important to appreciate the miracle that surrogacy offers.

If an intended parent does not respect a surrogate mother, or vice versa, they will not be allowed to continue with their surrogacy journey. Respect ensures all parties remain safe and joyful in all scenarios.

Along with respect comes the willingness to have open communication, which is especially important at the beginning of the journey. Surrogacy is a partnership that could not be completed without each important member involved. At Los Angeles Surrogacy, it is not only encouraged but required to communicate any and all wants, needs, and feelings to each other.
