Vaccination & Termination
COVID vaccination is not a requirement to become a surrogate! There are wonderful matches available across the full range of views — we simply ask because it's a question the medical clinic will want answered.
Intended parents invest significant emotional energy, time, and resources into surrogacy with the hope of welcoming a healthy child. To protect both you and them, our agreements specify that termination will not be requested for elective reasons such as gender selection, a change of heart about parenting, or a major life event affecting the intended parents.
However, in rare cases, prenatal testing or ultrasound may reveal a serious medical concern with the pregnancy. Even when embryos are genetically tested before transfer, testing is not perfect and new findings can emerge. In these situations, the intended parents — guided by their IVF physician, OB, or maternal-fetal medicine specialist — may make the difficult decision to terminate.
Surrogacy works best when surrogate and intended parents share aligned views on medical decision-making before a match is made. Please answer honestly below — the goal isn't to give a "right" answer, but to find intended parents whose values match yours. There are wonderful matches available across the full range of views.
Which statement best reflects your approach to termination decisions in a surrogacy pregnancy?
We ask about Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) specifically because it's a condition where intended parents' and surrogates' views can differ. There is no judgment attached to any answer — we simply need to know.
Do you consider Down syndrome a serious enough condition that termination would be a reasonable choice for intended parents to make?
Does your spouse or partner share the views you've described above?
Thank you for answering these questions! Our team will speak about them again more fully in your interview, and we can clarify any concerns or questions you may have. Remember, no one going into surrogacy is looking to terminate a healthy pregnancy! This is extremely rare and unlikely to happen, but we want to make sure to touch on it just in case.
