Why is Counseling Important During the Surrogacy Process?

Surrogacy can be a difficult journey for all parties involved. Whether you’re the surrogate or the intended parent, we know that you may be feeling anxious or stressed during the process. That’s why at Simple Surrogacy we counsel everyone involved in the surrogacy journey! This blog will look more at the importance of counseling and how it can help guide you through a successful surrogacy journey!

Every counseling session is different as it is unique to the parties involved, but they all work to help both parties’ bond, trust, and work together towards the ultimate gift of life!

This means that there will be fewer burdens placed on all parties as well as on the future child. Counseling also helps to prepare all parties for the necessary procedures and informs them of all the factors that could influence the outcome. Communication is key to a successful and stress-free surrogacy process!
