mental health in surrogacy

Mental health in surrogacy involves ensuring the emotional well-being of all parties—intended parents, surrogates, and the child—throughout the process. It includes managing feelings of attachment, identity, and expectations, and addressing potential stress, anxiety, or emotional challenges. Supporting mental health helps prevent regrets, misunderstandings, or emotional difficulties after birth. Professional counseling and open communication are essential for navigating these complex feelings, fostering healthy relationships, and ensuring everyone’s emotional needs are considered and cared for during and after the surrogacy journey.
