Surrogacy Wellness Support
Professional emotional oversight that reduces rematch risk, protects your reputation, and keeps journeys on track.
Surrogacy involves more than contracts and medical appointments. It's a high-stakes emotional process that depends on stable relationships. When communication breaks down or stress goes unaddressed, journeys stall, rematches increase, and trust erodes.
The Surrogacy Wellness Support program provides consistent, professional oversight from a licensed therapist who specializes in third-party reproduction. It helps agencies monitor journey stability, prevent escalation, and ensure that both gestational carriers and intended parents feel supported from match through postpartum.
Why Agencies Use This
Gestational carriers don't pause their lives during a journey. Jobs shift, kids get sick, relationships have stress, family crises happen. Most of the time, these things are manageable. But when they pile up or happen at critical moments like transfer or third trimester, they can affect stability.
This program adds a licensed mental health professional to monitor those shifts in real time so your case managers aren't managing emotional crises on top of logistics.
Monthly check-ins provide ongoing oversight of home and work stability, relationship health, and emotional adjustment to pregnancy. You receive brief, practical updates that confirm everything is on track with immediate notification if concerns arise.
How It Works
- Monthly check-ins with the gestational carrier (10–20 minutes by phone, text, or brief video)
- Brief summary to the case manager after each check-in covering home and work stability, emotional adjustment to pregnancy, relationship with intended parents, and any emerging concerns
- Immediate escalation support if an issue arises (up to three longer sessions that month with a mitigation plan shared with the case manager and, when appropriate, communicated to IPs so they understand how it's being handled and that the emotional side is being managed)
- Joint sessions for birth planning and post-birth closure
- Postpartum follow-up with the gestational carrier during the first three to six months
- On-demand consultations for intended parents if conflict, loss, or tension occurs

What Gestational Carriers Experience
This isn't therapy. It's structured support that feels low-pressure.
Most months, it's a quick check-in. When something harder comes up, they already have someone in place who understands surrogacy and knows how to help them manage it. This consistency helps carriers feel valued and emotionally grounded and more likely to complete the journey without complications.
What Intended Parents Gain
Intended parents aren't required to participate unless something arises. They simply know that a licensed professional is monitoring the well-being of the person carrying their child. If a concern does come up (job loss, family stress, medical complication), they're informed of how it's being handled and reassured that the emotional side is being actively managed.
It provides reassurance without adding meetings or emotional labor to an already demanding process.
A Modern Standard of Care
Surrogacy already requires medical, legal, and logistical oversight. This adds the fourth pillar: emotional oversight.
Stable, supported journeys protect your agency's time, investment, and reputation while improving outcomes for everyone involved.
