Surrogate Parenting

An Introduction to Surrogate Parenting

If you are one of those couples who are unable to conceive a child naturally there is an alternative available to you. And it is not adoption. The option we are discussing is surrogate parenting. Surrogate parenting is an agreement that a willing woman who is able to bear children will become pregnant with another woman's baby. This is accomplished by means of in-vitro fertilization. The volunteer mother agrees to relinquish all her rights to the child at birth. Whether or not the surrogate mother may be involved with the child's life is an option. This depends on what type of contract is signed. Becoming or hiring a surrogate is a very big decision.

A surrogate mother is most often paid for her services and all medical expenses related to the pregnancy and birth will be paid as well. You may wonder why any woman would want to be a surrogate, after all nine months of pregnancy and childbirth is no small task. In some cases, the surrogate is close to the parents, a friend or family member who wants to help fulfill a loved one's dream. Others are in the surrogacy business for the money, although some also say they feel good about helping people become parents who may not be able to otherwise.

More women consider this option than you might think. For women considering becoming a surrogate, it is important that they understand all the details of what they are agreeing to. Many surrogates have their own children and do not want any more. This is a preferred situation because some may become attached to the baby if it is the first one they have ever had. They might change their mind at the last minute and want to keep the baby – whether or not they can is also a detail of the contract between the surrogate and person(s) they are carrying for. There will need to be a legally binding document drawn up by an attorney who handles surrogacy cases.

More couples than you might think consider hiring a surrogate. If you are unable to bear children with your partner and want to explore surrogate parenting as an option, there are a variety of resources that can help you. Many websites offer information about surrogacy in your local area. There may be laws and regulations in your locality regarding surrogate pregnancy. You may also want to join message boards and forums for surrogates or parents who are using surrogates. There are also many great books on the subject, such as Mommies, Daddies, Donors, Surrogates: Answering Tough Questions and Building Strong Families by Diane Ehrensaft.
