How Surrogacy Psych Evaluations Really Work

In this episode of Create A Happy Family, psychotherapists Leslee Murphy and Kristin Malejan explain how surrogacy psych evaluations really work, why clinics require them, and what they’re actually looking for. Rather than searching for perfection, they’re looking at the whole person to help set surrogates and intended parents up for a healthy, successful journey.

In this episode, we discuss:

What happens during a surrogacy psych evaluation

Common misconceptions about psychological clearances

How ASRM guidelines are used in real life

Why psychologists look beyond a checklist

Why communication, support, and expectations matter

Called To Carry

Surrogacy is more than medical. It’s deeply spiritual. And discerning a call to carry (or to let someone carry for you) isn’t always easy. Whether you’re pursuing surrogacy, preparing to carry for someone else, or just navigating unfamiliar terrain, you’re not alone. Called to Carry is a 14-day devotional for women of faith walking through the sacred, complex, and often hidden journey of surrogacy. Get your free copy today.
