Your relationship with your surrogate can have a big impact on your enjoyment of the pregnancy.  Many parents-to-be like to be part of the pregnancy from start to finish, accompanying her on visits to the doctor, sharing pictures from sonograms and even including her in showers.  It can be both a comfort and a joy to have a comfortable rapport with your surrogate.  Establishing this rapport does not have to be difficult.

The best way to get off on the right foot is to conduct interviews with a number of candidates.  Though some might look perfect on paper, if you do not click, it may be best to find someone else.  Remember that there are a lot of options out there, and this will be one of the best moments of your life.  Make sure that you are sharing it with someone that you like and trust.

Though it may seem counter-intuitive, it is important that you be clear about your expectations of the relationship from the outset.  If you would like to be included in pre-natal care visits, be sure to let her know.  Before conception is also the time to discuss whether or not she will be granted visits with the baby.  There is no need to feel like you are being demanding when you are having this discussion.  It is best for both of you to be on the same page long before a contract is signed.The last thing to remember is to treat her with respect.  Professional surrogates are those who have been through this process before, which can make things go a little more smoothly.  If you are working with a first time surrogate, understand that she may be going through an emotional time as well. Try to keep a dialogue open and be willing to talk to her about any apprehension she may be feeling.
