Know how gestational surrogacy works

Infertility is a problem that makes many couples to lose their hopes of becoming parents. This condition can be stressful and creates trouble in the lives of the childless couples. There are many reasons for infertility; however for the sterile couples becoming parents for biologically related child is the only goal in their life. Now childless couples can achieve their lifetime goal through surrogacy process. There are two types of surrogacy; gestational and traditional. In traditional surrogacy, a surrogate mother becomes pregnant by using her own eggs. The baby born through traditional surrogacy will be genetically relevant to the intended father and the substitute. However, traditional surrogacy involves lots of risks and in some states this process is considered illegal.

Almost all surrogate agencies prefer gestational surrogacy and the proxy mother is referred as gestational carrier. In-vitro fertilization (IVF) is used in this form of surrogacy. In this treatment, intended mother egg is fertilized with intended father sperm in the laboratory. The resultant zygote is cultured for six days. The fluid form of zygote is injected to the uterus of the surrogate mother to achieve pregnancy. The baby born through this process is genetically relevant to the intended parents.

The first step in this process is to find the best surrogate agencies in the United States of America who carefully screen the proxies and check their medical history. Once you are successful in finding the best substitute agency, the rest of the process such as arranging a meeting with surrogate, doctor appointment and legal issues are taken care of by the agency. The only job for intended parents is to enjoy the first kick and the movement of their baby present in the surrogate’s womb. Rest will be taken care of by the agency.
