Intended Parent Requirements in Hawaii

For the safety, health, and well-being of everyone involved, intended parents must meet a few basic requirements to move forward in Hatch’s surrogacy program. We follow ethical, responsible screening practices so you can feel confident you’re building your family on a secure, supportive foundation.

Medical Need: Individuals or couples who are biologically unable to carry a pregnancy meet the necessary medical criteria.

Open, Respectful Communication: Intended parents should be willing to maintain positive, respectful contact with their surrogate.

English Language Proficiency: Necessary to ensure clear and reliable communication throughout the journey.
