The surrogacy process looks easy for those who watch the news, with big-time celebrities such as Lucy Liu and Tyra Banks recently welcoming new bundles of joy into the world, aided by the help of gestational surrogates. Both have spoken out about their decisions to have babies via the surrogacy process; Liu largely due to her hectic schedule and Banks after a heartbreaking struggle with infertility. While the media has celebrated as these women, and many others, have felt the joy that parenting brings, it has largely overlooked one of the biggest difficulties intended parents face; finding a suitable gestational surrogate.

Intended parents, or individuals hoping to start and grow families via surrogacy, have a hard time locating qualified gestational surrogates. Unlike traditional surrogacy, in which the woman who carries the baby is also the biological mother, a gestational surrogate, or gestational carrier, does not share a genetic bond with the child she carries. Oftentimes, an intended mother uses her own eggs, while others receive help from women who donate theirs.

Gestational surrogates have to meet strict requirements in order to qualify to work with a reputable agency. They must be height and weight proportionate, smoke-free/ drug-free, and have already had a child of their own. Agencies also screen candidates for good health and ensure that the gestational carriers are emotionally and financially stable. Though there is generally a significant payment offered for their help, most women who become carriers do so out of genuine compassion for the people they assist. Unfortunately, far too few qualified women apply to become surrogates and the wait time for intended parents is often 12 months or more, just to find a good match.

Although Zach and I want children soon, we recognize that finding the right surrogate and egg donor is more important than finding them quickly, said David Lat, in a recent feature article for Esquire Magazine. He and his partner have faced some heartache, after a friend who was to donate her eggs backed out. He wrote of many other couples who waited years to realize their dreams, some of whom tried adoption first, but had their hopes crushed at the last moment several times.

They arent alone in their struggles. Its unknown just how many intended parents are actively searching for a gestational carrier in the country right now, but one thing is for certain; there are far more intended parents looking to grow their families than there are qualified gestational surrogates applying.
