She’s A Surrogate, And She’s Talking About All Of The Things She’s Absolutely Tired Of Hearing From People, Along With The Requirements Of Her Job
There have been so many of my social media friends announcing their pregnancies, and it’s so cool and sort of strange, also.
I sometimes forget that I’m at that age now that people I knew in high school are getting married or having kids already.
Some people aren’t so lucky when it comes to having babies. But thankfully, there are people out there willing to help childless couples have the babies they so desperately want.
It takes a special kind of person to go through a 9-month pregnancy with someone else’s child.
One TikToker named Yessenia, who goes by @mamayessenia, is sharing her surrogacy experience. The ups, the downs, the surrogacy requirements, and even the questions people frequently ask her. She even added a link in her bio for the agency she is going through to be a surrogate.
“So today, I’m going to be going over what are the qualifications to be a surrogate,” Yessenia started. “So I’m currently 20 weeks in my surrogacy process.
“I’m going to talk to you guys about the qualification. So first, I want to say that every agency is different, so these are the qualifications for the agency I currently work with.”
“I currently work with an agency named Family Source Consultants, and these are the requirements. So first, I want to talk about the age requirements. The age requirement is you have to be between the ages of 21 and 42-years-old.”

She goes on to explain the other requirements for this specific agency. Like you need to be a certain BMI, and your health needs to be good overall. Which is pretty normal.
Also, you have to have at least one healthy pregnancy, no drug use, no use of mental health medications, etc. You also need to be financially stable.
All this means is you have no government assistance like food stamps or Medicaid. And these are just the basic requirements. Yessenia also shared a video about things she hates hearing while being a surrogate.
“Won’t you be attached to the baby? You must be getting paid a lot,” she shared.
Like, first of all, it’s none of their business, and second of all, they make it sound like she’s only being a surrogate for money instead of helping a family have a child. People seem to forget how much the body goes through during pregnancy. The weight gain, the hormones, and the stress of making sure you’re being healthy to ensure that the baby is healthy.
“I could never give up my baby…,” is another thing she hates hearing from people too.
So many people aren’t able to have kids naturally, so they go through agencies and treatments to get the family they want.
And many people out there are willing to help them become parents, and it’s so heartwarming when you see it happen.
