Show Notes
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
