When you're looking to find an ideal surrogate, it's important to put your story in all of the places where a potential match might find it. This is why creating a profile on intended parent hosting platform Matching Day is something you shouldn't miss out on.
Matching Day answers the question 'where can I put all of my relevant surrogacy matching details?' in one sleek, innovative website. Designed to provide surrogates with every relevant detail they'd want to know about prospective IPs, it's quickly becoming the space where first time and returning intended parents are flocking to tell their stories, and where surrogates are scrolling to find out who to reach out to next. Plus, at only $55 per month, it is easily one of the most affordable ways to get surrogate eyes on your profile.
Matching Day organizes your story so that you can neatly describe your information and surrogates can filter through what matters most to them.
What should I focus on in my Matching Day profile?
Overall, setting up your profile is easy. The prompts are simple (where are you located, where is your clinic located, are you with an agency and if so, which one?) and straightforward. The three spaces where you can focus your creative attention and try to stand out are the Bio, Our Story, and photo uploads sections.
Writing your bio
Your bio is an opportunity for you to quickly grab the attention of someone - after all, it is the first thing that people see on your page underneath your name and photos. Keep this section short, friendly, and punchy. Introduce yourselves and invite them to continue reading. You can even add a fun fact that you think might make them chuckle!
Crafting your story
The Our Story section of your profile is the perfect spot to include your existing intended parent profile. Haven't written one yet? Take a look at these guiding principals to build a scroll-stopping profile.
Choosing your photos
Matching Day allows unlimited photo uploads, so while you aren't limited on the number of photos, you should put thought into which ones are worth including. A good picture is worth a thousand words, and the photos aren't a beauty contest. Pictures that highlight your personality help potential surrogates learn quickly about your interests and the things they may have in common with you. If you're a painter, include photos of your art! Love to bake? Share some snaps of you in the kitchen. I promise, these images will be far more compelling that any professionally posed portraits.
