If you're thinking about becoming a surrogate, you may be wondering:
"What are intended parents actually looking for?"
Many women assume intended parents only care about age or appearance.
In reality, successful matches are based on much more meaningful qualities.
Here are seven factors that often influence why one surrogate is matched sooner than another.
Your profile is often your first introduction.
Intended parents appreciate profiles that are:
Sharing your story helps families connect with you on a personal level.
Professional photography isn't necessary.
What intended parents want to see is you.
Recent, natural photos that reflect your personality help create a stronger first impression.
Previous healthy, full-term pregnancies provide reassurance to both fertility clinics and intended parents.
While every journey is unique, a positive pregnancy history is one of the most important factors during matching.
Intended parents value surrogates who:
Good communication often becomes the foundation of a successful relationship.
Being open to reasonable scheduling, travel, or different types of intended parents may create more matching opportunities.
Every surrogate should choose what feels right—but flexibility can expand your options.
One of the first questions intended parents often ask is:
"Why do you want to become a surrogate?"
Women who speak sincerely about helping another family often leave a lasting impression.
Authenticity matters more than saying the "perfect" thing.
There's no such thing as a perfect surrogate.
Sometimes the deciding factor is simply compatibility.
Shared communication styles, expectations, and personalities often create the strongest partnerships.
It's important to remember:
Matching is not a contest.
Every intended parent is looking for something slightly different.
The goal isn't to appeal to everyone—it's to find the family that's the best fit for you.
At New Grace, we help women create strong, authentic profiles and carefully match them with intended parents who share their expectations and values.
If you're ready to begin your surrogacy journey, we'd love to help.
