Think about the ideal candidate's age, experience, health, lifestyle, and personality traits.

By gaining a thorough understanding, you'll boost your confidence and be better equipped to ask informed questions during the meeting.
Another important step is establishing your preferences for a surrogate mother or egg donor. Take some time to reflect on your ideal candidate, considering factors such as age, previous experience, medical history, lifestyle, and personal characteristics. Communicate these preferences clearly with your surrogacy agency so that they can present suitable profiles during the match meeting.
During the match meeting, it's crucial to address key topics such as legal agreements, compensation, medical procedures, and communication preferences. Be prepared to openly discuss your expectations while also understanding the surrogate mother's or egg donor's viewpoint on these matters. Creating a space for open and honest dialogue allows everyone to address concerns and reservations, ensuring all parties involved are comfortable and aligned on these important issues.
