## Summary

Yunda Surrogacy explains common surrogate requirements and surrogate qualifications for women considering gestational surrogacy in the United States.

Surrogate eligibility is usually reviewed across age, pregnancy history, BMI, health background, lifestyle factors, identity or residency requirements, scheduling availability, medical screening, psychological screening, legal clearance, insurance review, and program requirements.

This content is intended to help candidates understand baseline criteria before investing more time in the application process. It is not a final approval decision.

## Common Baseline Criteria

Common preliminary surrogate requirements may include:

- Age within the program or clinic requirement range.
- At least one prior full-term pregnancy.
- No major pregnancy complications in the candidate's history.
- BMI within program or clinic guidelines.
- U.S. citizenship, permanent residency, or other identity status accepted by the program.
- No smoking, vaping, recreational drug use, or other disqualifying lifestyle risks.
- Ability to attend medical, legal, psychological, and screening appointments.
- Willingness to complete OB record review, background review, psychological screening, clinic clearance, legal review, and insurance review.

## Temporary Deferrals or Possible Disqualifying Factors

Some factors may delay or prevent approval, depending on clinic and program review:

- Recent major pregnancy complications.
- OB records or medical history that do not meet clinic requirements.
- BMI outside the program or clinic range.
- Current smoking, vaping, recreational drug use, or related health risks.
- Legal or practical restrictions in the candidate's state.
- Inability to complete required appointments, communication, travel, screening, or legal steps.

Some issues may be temporary rather than permanent. Examples can include recent childbirth, breastfeeding, recent tattoos or piercings, pending medical records, or timing that is not yet compatible with screening and embryo transfer.

## Screening and Next Steps

Submitting a surrogate application is not a commitment. The process usually includes:

- Candidate submits basic application information.
- Yunda reviews the application for possible baseline fit.
- If the candidate may qualify, Yunda schedules follow-up communication or document collection.
- OB records and health background are reviewed.
- The candidate may move into medical screening, psychological screening, legal coordination, insurance review, escrow planning, and matching.

Final eligibility depends on OB records, clinic medical clearance, psychological screening, legal review, insurance review, program requirements, and agreement terms.
