What is Surrogacy?

• Surrogacy is a type of arrangement that is done
  between a couple or an individual and a woman to
  carry and to deliver a baby for the couple or
  individual. 
• There are a many women who are suffering from
  medical conditions which do not allow them to
  become pregnant or is considered dangerous to get
  pregnant. For such couples, surrogacy is an
  option that will allow them to have a baby of
  their own.

• Traditional Surrogacy
• Gestational Surrogacy

Traditional Surrogacy

• In a traditional surrogacy situation, the
  surrogate mother will
• become artificially inseminated with the sperm
  of the baby's biological father. In this case,
  the sperm is implanted into her uterus
  procedurally where the child can then develop in
  her womb. With traditional surrogacy, the
  surrogate mother is also the biological mother of
  the child.

Gestational Surrogacy

• In gestational surrogacy, an egg is removed from
  the intended mother or an anonymous donor and
  fertilized with the sperm of the intended father
  or anonymous donor. The fertilized egg, or
  embryo, is then transferred to a surrogate who
  carries the baby to term. The child is thereby
  genetically related to the woman who donated the
  egg and the intended father or sperm donor, but
  not the surrogate. Some lesbian couples find
  gestational surrogacy attractive because it
  permits one woman to contribute her egg and the
  other to carry the child.

Advantage and Disadvantage

• Advantage

• Disadvantage

• For couples who are aspiring to have their own
  child, surrogacy is a great option as they will
  have a baby that will be biologically theirs.
• Many childless couples opt for adoption, but then
  they have to ensure that the history of the child
  is good and will suit them or else there can be
  issues between them and the child. Such issues
  can be eliminated through surrogacy where the
  child will be the own flesh and blood of the
  couple.
• Surrogacy is a very good option for couples who
  are of the same gender. For such couple having a
  child naturally is impossible and therefore will
  have to opt for such methods to have a child of
  their own. In such cases, the source of the sperm
  or egg will have to be from one of the intended
  couple to avoid any legal complications in the
  future

• Surrogacy is a long and tedious process and there
  are a lot of processes that are involved and
  therefore require patience on the part of the
  intended parents.
• It generally takes a lot of searching to find a
  surrogate mother who will be healthy and will be
  willing to your conditions and there are a lot of
  medical and legal procedures that will have to be
  put in place.
• There have been issues when surrogate mothers
  have not wanted to let go of the child, thereby
  complicating the whole scenario.
• The couple has to ensure that all the legal
  procedures are in place before committing
  themselves to surrogacy or else they may face
  legal issues later.

• Prior to beginning a surrogacy cycle, it is
  highly recommended that surrogates thoroughly

  risks and side effects that may be associated
  with being a surrogate.

  developing a bruise at the needle site.

  discomfort.

  with assisted reproductive technology procedures.

  to the health of the mother and the unborn
  babies.
