The Surrogacy Journey: Getting Started with Confidence
Surrogacy is a compassionate and powerful way to grow a family. At Heart of Surrogacy, LLC, we specialize in ethical gestational surrogacy in Florida, providing intended parents and gestational carriers with expert guidance, legal clarity, and emotional support. We want you to get started with confidence.
Founded by reproductive and adoption attorney Jeanne T. Tate, our agency follows the highest medical and ethical standards, including those set by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM).
Understanding Gestational vs. Traditional Surrogacy
There are two main types of surrogacy:
- Traditional Surrogacy: The surrogate uses her own egg and is biologically related to the baby. This approach is rarely recommended due to legal and emotional challenges.
- Gestational Surrogacy: The surrogate has no genetic connection to the baby. Embryos are created via IVF using the intended parents’ or donors’ genetic material.
At Heart of Surrogacy, we only coordinate gestational surrogacy, the standard recommended by ASRM and the most legally secure path for intended parents.
Surrogate Screening: More Than Just the Basics
ASRM outlines core criteria for gestational carriers, including:
- Ages 21 to 45
- At least one full-term, uncomplicated pregnancy
- Comprehensive medical, psychological, and background screening
At Heart of Surrogacy, we go further. Our screening process also evaluates:
- Lifestyle factors
- Emotional readiness
- Support systems
This ensures that every match is both medically appropriate and emotionally aligned—for a stable, successful journey.
