Title: Surrogate Mother Facts

Surrogate Mother Facts
  • A surrogate mother is a female who carries a
    child in her womb for someone else. There is a
    great deal of controversy over some surrogate
    cases, because there are not enforceable laws in
    every state on surrogacy. Many surrogate mothers
    wish to fulfill the pregnancy in order to help a
    family member or friend. It is against the law in
    most locations to Become A Surrogate for
    financial gain. Knowing the basic facts will help
    you decide if you should pursue the issue of
    surrogacy further with a carrier, donor and
    attorney.

Surrogacy Process
  • With a surrogate pregnancy, the surrogate must
    fully understand the concept of the surrogacy.
    The surrogate should have a complete mental
    evaluation to determine that she is of sound mind
    and will be able to carry someone elses baby and
    give it up after birth. A complete medical exam
    is also required to assure that the surrogate is
    in good health and does not have preexisting
    medical conditions that could harm her or the
    baby. Legal paperwork should be drawn up to
    protect the surrogate and the new parents. This
    can be a preempt to the final adoption paperwork
    that will finalize the new parents gaining legal
    custody over the child after he is born. The
    surrogate and involved parties then meet with a
    fertility specialist to set up the artificial
    insemination or in-vitro fertilization to implant
    the embryo and impregnate the surrogate. Per a
    verbal or legal agreement, the surrogate must
    hand over the baby at birth.

Surrogacy Types
  • According to the Leading Surrogacy Center, there
    are three main types of surrogacy traditional
    AI, gestational and donor egg/gestational.
    Traditional AI is where the surrogate donates her
    egg and is artificially inseminated by the
    fathers sperm. At birth, a stepparent adoption
    is completed so the mother can legally adopt the
    child. A gestational pregnancy is where an embryo
    from the biological parents is implanted into the
    surrogate via in-vitro fertilization. The
    surrogate in this case is sometimes referred to
    as the gestational carrier or host. A donor egg
    case is where an anonymous egg from a donor and
    the sperm of the intended father are implanted
    into the surrogate.

Surrogacy Carriers
  • There are many different reasons why women become
    carriers. One of the most common is to help or
    assist parents in having a child of their own.
    Sometimes family members or friends step in
    provide this role. Carriers can also be found
    through adoption or surrogacy agencies.

  • Having a surrogate mother can be expensive. Costs
    vary depending on the company you work with and
    if you use your own donated sperm or egg. the
    total cost on average for most surrogacy cases
    about 12,000 in India, including all medical
    expenses and the surrogate's fee. In the U.S.,
    the same procedure can cost up to 70,000.

Risks in Surrogacy
  • There are risks involved with being a surrogate
    mother. The biggest one is attachment to the
    unborn child-especially if the surrogate is the
    egg donor. Surrogacy should be handled much like
    an adoption because the baby must be relinquished
    at birth. If you are considering becoming a
    surrogate mother, medical problems such as
    preeclampsia and other concerns at labor and
    delivery should be discussed with your family
    doctor or IVF specialist. Many states such as
    Michigan and the District of Columbia prohibit
    surrogacy agreements this can be difficult when
    working with an agency. Other states may be
    accepting but have difficulty making legal
    binding agreements when it comes to finalizing an
    adoption in surrogacy cases should a problem
    arise with custody.
