Can I be a surrogate for my best friend even though I haven't been pregnant before?

A few weeks ago, my best friend and her fiancé found out that they were pregnant after I think 3 years of trying. She has a few issues that affect her ability to carry (No issues conceiving though, which is good) and she's only got a limited time that she can still even have children because of other health issues. Today we just found out that she lost the baby. This will be her 10th miscarriage in 3 years... She and her fiancé are both devastated.

We have been talking and looking into legal and medical options, so my boyfriend and I can help them. We want to do gestational surrogacy so that the baby will be biologically theirs. However, I have never had children before and I know many facilities require surrogates to have had at least one previous pregnancy with no complications. My boyfriend and I are not planning on having children for another 2 years. If I am doing this out of the good of my heart, and we are not asking any money from them, and I meet all the other requirements, will this still be an issue? We do meet all the other requirements.

I've heard it's a lot easier to do it with less formalities like this, than to go through a program for finding a stranger surrogate and have payments involved, but I'd like advice from someone who has, or is going through this same thing! We love our friends dearly, and understand that this is a HUGE commitment, and know this is the right thing for us to do.
