Learn what qualities are critical when choosing the woman that will carry your baby.


Hello and welcome to our webinar, “What Qualities Make a Good Surrogate?” My name is Carol Weathers and I am the founder and program director for Building Families, I have been involved in surrogacy arrangements for 30 years now. In that time, I have met hundreds of women who wanted to become Surrogates and have managed several hundred successful arrangements. I expect that by the end of this webinar, you will have a better understanding of what qualities are important when choosing your Surrogate and also give you some new things to consider.

Please understand that my role here today is not to dispense legal, medical or even psychological advice as I am neither a lawyer, doctor or a psychologist. The information I am providing you here today comes from my many years of experience. It may seem like some of these topics are common sense or that it shouldn’t be necessary to inquire about them, but trust me when I tell you that they are all key to ensuring the Surrogate is a good candidate, which ultimately can bring your arrangement to a successful end.
