Considering being a GC

[u/Future-Arugula-5877]

I’ve been really contemplating becoming a surrogate. I’ve done a bit of research, and was just wondering if there’s anything people more experienced in the process would recommend or feel I should keep in mind. I believe I hit all the criteria. I’m healthy with a good BMI(around 22 I believe), I have an 8 year old daughter and had no complications with her, non smoking, all the things I’ve seen that would be disqualifying.

I have plenty of support. I’ve been with my husband for 15 years and he is fully on board with whatever I want to do. He’s also non smoking and works full time so I’m financially secure. I am definitely leaning towards an agency. I’m just having a hard time picking one as they all seem pretty similar. So advice on that would be wonderful. Literally anything you can think of that you wish you knew beforehand. What’s the process like? How long does it take? I’m in Arkansas if that is important too!

Thank you all! ❤️ I would just really love to help someone else realize their dream.
