The level of contact between Intended Parents and their Surrogate is a personal decision. Some Intended Parents prefer frequent updates via email or phone and wish to attend many doctor appointments, seeking to be highly involved in the pregnancy. Surrogates may also appreciate a close relationship; many develop lifelong friendships with their Intended Parents.
Conversely, some Intended Parents and Surrogates prefer minimal contact, treating the arrangement more as a business relationship. This might involve occasional updates and phone calls, with limited in-person interactions until the delivery.
Family Source believes the most important aspect is to establish and agree on the desired level of communication and involvement during the matching process and ensure both parties strive to meet these expectations throughout the journey
