Commercial surrogacy allowed for infertile Indian married couples What is surrogacy? Surrogacy is defined as when another woman carries and gives birth to a baby for the couple who want to have a child. In other words, it is a method of assisted reproduction wherein a woman is being paid to become pregnant for giving birth to a child to whom she has no genetic link. There is no involvement of vaginal intercourse between the intended parents and the surrogate mother in the entire surrogacy program. How does Surrogacy Work? The procedure is carried out by the doctors by mixing the sperm and egg collected from the genetic parents in a laboratory through a procedure called In vitro fertilization. The resulting embryo created from the genetic parents is then implanted into the uterus of the surrogate mother. The surrogate mother always carries the baby inside her with an intention of giving the baby after birth to the intended parents. Thus the baby born to a surrogate mother is genetically related to the biological parents. Who needs Surrogacy? In some cases, a woman is not able to carry a pregnancy due to some medical conditions like uterine cancer, infections in uterus, endometriosis or other issues. With the rapid advancement in medical science particularly in the field of assisted reproduction, surrogacy offers a solution to these women to have a child. How to find a surrogate mother? When Indian couples embark on a surrogacy journey, they choose another woman, in medical terminology known as gestational carrier who will carry the pregnancy on their behalf by using the gametes of genetic parents. Childless couples have to sign the agreement with the surrogate for carrying the baby to term which is facilitated by the agency or a fertility clinic. The first and the foremost procedure in the surrogacy is the screening of the surrogate mother and they are examined to diagnose for any disease or other genetic disorders at the fertility clinic. The gestational carrier or a surrogate mother chosen by the fertility clinic for intended parents has ability and a healthy uterus to carry the child to term. Who pays for the surrogate? Prospective parents pay for the accommodation, healthcare and food for their surrogate as part of the surrogacy package. After the embryo transfer, the fertility clinics provide best accommodation for all surrogates mothers where they start living with other surrogates till delivery. They are being provided all the essential facilities including kitchen, washroom, TV, bedroom etc and their families are also allowed to visit them. Commercial Surrogacy- for Indian Married Couples The concept of surrogacy in India is not new. Commercial surrogacy was made legal in early 2002 and since then thousands of couples have become parents and enjoy the joy of parenthood with the help of surrogate mothers. Government recently put a bar on surrogacy to foreign couples but it is allowed for Indian married couples. For more information, please write us at [email protected]. |
