Look for these things in a surrogate mother

For millions of ladies around the world becoming a mother is a lifetime goal; despite their biological and medical limitations. Many couples around the world were not able to become parents due to one or another reason as ladies are physically unable to carry a child due to infertility or spouse infertility. Hopefully, the medical advancement gives a ray of hope to the couples who wish to have their own biological child naturally even if the ladies are unable to conceive. Yes, this is possible through surrogacy process. Many state laws have given permission to gestational surrogacy process and consider the biological parents as child parents rather than surrogate. Even, the surrogate agreement defines that intended couples are the legal parents of the child born through surrogate process.

Then what actually surrogacy is? It is a method of IVF where embryo (zygote) is injected to the uterus of a surrogate mother. The embryo is fertilized in the laboratory by retrieving the ovum from female body and combines it with sperms of the intended father to form zygote. Because of this process, the resulting baby is biologically related to the intended couples and unrelated to the surrogate mother. After injecting the embryo, the surrogate carries the baby for nine months and after delivery it will be handed over to biological couples. The surrogate agencies play a vital role in overall process of surrogacy. However, biological parents need to compensate for substitute services. The agreement made between the two parties briefly outline the compensation paid to a surrogate mother, IVF treatment fee, medical expenses, monthly expenses, attorney fee and agency fee.


This agreement is very essential for both intended parents and proxy to protect their rights and to take the custody of new born legally.
