An epigrammatic synopsis on surrogacy

A woman giving birth to a child for intended parents is referred as surrogate. Couples seek proxy arrangement when they are not able to carry the risk of pregnancy or can’t able to conceive due to serious problems. Couples hire surrogates through agencies or attorneys. A proxy can conceive proposed couple’s child through the gestational process or a traditional process. But, most often, parents and doctors opt for gestational process as it is associated with less legal issues and is lower in risk. Artificial insemination and embryo transfer play a vital role in fulfilling the dreams of intended parent’s surrogacy.

When the donor embryo is injected to the proxy’s womb, she becomes pregnant. The baby born through this procedure is genetically not related to both intended parents and surrogate, as well.

Traditional Surrogacy:

Intended father donates his sperms in clinic, these sperm is later injected to a proxy lady. The baby born through this process is genetically relevant to the proposed father and a surrogate.

Couples, who wish to enjoy parenthood by intended parent’ssurrogacy, can contact agencies and attorneys to hire a healthy lady as surrogate.

Legal issues:

When a lady becomes pregnant in a traditional procedure, the baby is genetically relevant to her and the intended father. In most of the cases, surrogates find it hard to relinquish the child since it is related to her. When she refuses to give the baby to the intended parents, it gives rise to the lawsuits and the
