Medical & Psychological Screening
We are all matched up and ready for medical & psychological screening. Here it begins... Honestly, it terrified me a tad bit. I wasn't worried about anything coming up that I couldn't handle, but I was nervous about actually completing a psych evaluation for the first time. I mean, we all think we are a little crazy sometimes right? No. Just me? Ok. Moving on. It took a little bit of time to get scheduled with my OB for medical clearance. It didn't help that I was still fairly new to the state and the pandemic delayed my scheduled yearly check
Matching
Once I was ready to start matching my profile was created. My final profile consisted of a picture of me, age, medical history, the type of IPs that were ideal for me, and a few requirements that I would/wouldn't do during a surrogacy journey. All of this information is important to find the perfect match. I was open and honest about who I wanted to be matched with. The first IP profile Joe showed me was the last one I needed to see! I wanted my profile to be shown to them asap! Not a day later we all decided
My Application and Pre-screening Process
My name is Krystal. I am 31 years old and I'm a bit of a #birthjunkie. Pregnancy and birth have fascinated me since before I could read, and I’ve wanted to be a surrogate for as long as I can remember. After a wonderful pregnancy, delivery of our daughter, and deciding our family was complete, I got myself into countless surrogacy info/chat groups on social media. The lurking began. I immersed myself in the lingo, the agency reviews, the anecdotes, the miracles, the tragedies--all of it. I wasn't in a huge rush because my kiddo was still nursing at night
