Can I Be a Surrogate if My Spouse is an Alcoholic?
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to become a surrogate if your spouse is dealing with alcoholism. While you may meet our physical requirements, the presence of alcoholism in your spouse’s history can raise concerns for intended parents, impacting your overall eligibility to become a surrogate.
When you apply to be a surrogate, one of the things we look at is the safety and stability of your home environment. Alcoholism may raise concerns regarding the overall suitability of the living conditions for you and the baby you intend to carry.
Can You Be a Surrogate if Your Spouse is Addicted?
If your spouse is struggling with addiction, this can also have an impact on your overall eligibility. We prioritize the safety of all parties involved and addiction can have an effect on your living conditions. It’s important to be transparent with us when discussing your situation.
We can provide you with guidance on whether it’s possible to become a surrogate given your circumstances and can help you make a decision that prioritizes the health and stability of your family.
Why Can’t I Become a Surrogate if My Spouse Has a Drug Addiction?
Even if you meet our physical requirements to be a surrogate, many families won’t be comfortable with a surrogate whose spouse has a history of addiction.
This discomfort is based on ensuring a secure, nurturing environment for the child’s development. Although we know it can be frustrating, our main goal is to ensure that everyone is protected throughout the process. Our eligibility requirements are not meant to exclude but to safeguard all parties involved.
We believe in creating a positive and supportive surrogate experience, and these requirements contribute to achieving that goal.
I’m Not Eligible to Become a Surrogate, What Now?
If you don’t qualify to be a surrogate because of your spouse’s history of alcoholism, you can still be a part of a surrogacy journey through our referral program.
