Surrogacy Psychological Evaluation Explained: Emotional Readiness, Trust & What to Expect

The psychological evaluation in surrogacy is often misunderstood. Many people assume it’s a test they can pass or fail, or something designed to disqualify them. In reality, it’s a structured consultation focused on understanding emotional readiness, communication styles, expectations, and the ability to navigate a complex relationship. In this conversation, Dr. Covelluzzi explains how psychological consultations help uncover potential challenges early, support better matches, and create stronger, more stable journeys for everyone involved. The discussion also explores trust, control, fertility trauma, surrogate autonomy, and why honest communication is one of the most important factors in a successful surrogacy journey.
