Surrogate Screening
One of the first questions intended parents should ask a surrogacy agency is how their surrogates are screened, and if the screening is done prior to being matched. The screening process helps agencies understand women's motivations to become surrogates, what their support systems will be, as well as physical and emotional histories. At Promise, every surrogate that is ready to match has been fully vetted in our 3-step screening process.
Surrogates 如何接受 Screening？
Promise Surrogacy facilitates a full screening of their surrogates prior to matching them with intended parents. Our decades of experience has led us to this in-depth screening regimen to ensure that each and every surrogate that is ready to match has been fully vetted in our 3-step screening process to determine the strongest, healthiest and most successful surrogates. We do this because your security – and the safety of your future baby – is our number one priority.
仅有最优秀的 Surrogates
Our surrogate screening process means that we'll only present you with a potential surrogate match when we've determined she is not only a good candidate for surrogacy, but a surrogate candidate who meets Promise Surrogacy's highest standards. In fact, we accept only the top 4% of surrogate applicants into our program. For parents, this thorough screening process can result in a wait time for matching with the right surrogate, but we believe a best-in-class surrogate is worth it.
如果机构未对 Surrogates 进行充分 screening，对 Intended Parents 有何影响？
When an agency does not fully screen a surrogate before she is matched, it can cause stress and uncertainty for you. For example, you could have spent time getting to know your surrogate and forming an emotional connection, only to learn later that she did not pass the psychological evaluation and is not a good candidate for surrogacy. This can be frustrating and devastating for you as intended parents. We're dedicated to providing as smooth a journey as possible for you.
我们的三步 Surrogate Screening 流程
Promise Surrogacy的Surrogate screening流程包含三个关键步骤，用以判断一位女性是否能够成为一名合格的Surrogate。我们不仅会与每位候选人进行深入交流，还会提出问题并收集相关信息，从而评估她是否已准备好承担成为Promise Surrogate所需的心理、情感和身体上的付出。
Surrogate 预筛查
This first step of the screening process happens right after a woman fills out the surrogate application. Our Prescreening Team – that includes experienced surrogates – will connect with every applicant to talk through the answers on her application, get clarity where needed, and answer any questions she might have.
在预筛阶段，我们的机构团队将从 Surrogate 申请人处收集以下信息：
- 健康与妊娠史
- 犯罪与财务背景调查
- 保险信息
- 病历记录
如果女性在Prescreening之后符合成为Promise Surrogate的条件，她们将进入流程的第二步，即接受执业心理健康专业人士的screening。
Promise 如何多走一步
许多其他机构仅完成screening流程中的这一第一步，就将Surrogate视为已完成“screening”，并认为其已准备好进行匹配。正因如此，其他机构的匹配等待时间可能更短，甚至无需等待。而在Promise Surrogacy，我们建议您耐心等待一位已完成全面screening的Surrogate进行匹配，以降低匹配失败以及各方失望的风险。
Surrogacy 咨询
Promise Surrogacy employs an in-house team of licensed mental health professionals who screen and support surrogates. Our experienced team has screened thousands of surrogate applicants. They not only understand what the surrogate process is, they have supported women through the entirety of their journeys, and that experience has informed the questions they ask to determine if a woman would make a good surrogate.
在surrogacy咨询过程中（大约持续2至2.5小时），Surrogate申请人将被问及以下内容：
- 她们成为 Surrogate 的动机
- 她们的妊娠史
- 家庭与人际关系
- 任何爱好、兴趣与人生经历
- 她的支持网络是谁（女性将被要求指定一位在整个旅程期间的主要支持人）
- 她对surrogacy journey的期望与偏好（包括与intended parents的沟通程度，以及她希望合作的intended parents类型）
- 她对终止妊娠和选择性减胎的看法
在此阶段，surrogate候选人的Primary Support Person（主要支持人）也会安排与支持团队进行一次通话。通过这次通话，心理健康专业人士可以判断该候选人所指定的主要支持人是否能够为其提供恰当的情感支持。
心理评估
The third and final step in the Surrogate Screening Process is the psychological assessment. Each surrogate must complete psychological testing through the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) which is interpreted by a licensed psychologist. The test typically takes around 30-45 minutes, and is used to further screen the carrier for psychological/psychiatric problems and assess her overall psychological functioning to determine if she is a suitable candidate for our program.
surrogacy旅程可能十分复杂，而Promise Surrogacy会协助推进一套全面的screening流程，从一开始就筛选出最合适的候选人。当然，没有人能够完全预测人的行为，但我们会竭尽所能，为intended parents提供尽可能多的信心和安全保障。
