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.
