Surrogacy vs Adoption: Why is Surrogacy Process a Better Option?

Couples who are unable to have a baby due to fertility issues can still become parents. Usually couples resort to adoption to have their baby. But with the introduction of assisted reproduction technologies, one has a broader base of solution to choose from, especially surrogacy. Both adoption and surrogacy have their own pros and cons, considering their societal issues. However, couples can still choose surrogacy to have their own biological child. But sometimes it can be a tough choice to decide between surrogacy and adoption. Here are a few advantages of surrogacy over adoption.

Surrogacy is possible in two ways: Gestational Surrogacy or Traditional Surrogacy

Gestational Surrogacy

The surrogacy process in India is a complex process and involves two parties – intended parents and the surrogate (mother). The surrogate mother carries the baby to full term created from the human gametes – sperm and egg of the prospective parents. In case of surrogacy with egg donor, the eggs of the egg donor are used to create an embryo. The gestational surrogate has no genetic relations with the baby.  

Traditional Surrogacy

The surrogate mother receives artificial insemination or IVF, which involves the sperm of the male parent or sperm donor. The eggs of the surrogate mother are used instead of the intended female parent or the egg donor. Therefore, it means, the surrogate shares her genes with the baby. This is a traditional method of surrogacy.

Seed ART Bank, a surrogacy agency in India, assures that you have a successful parenthood experience. We feel proud to help couples to offer the healthiest and fittest surrogates so that their baby is healthy and does not have any genetic diseases.

Why Adoption is a less preferred option than Surrogacy?

A few states do not follow adoption process due to ethical and legal complexities. In a few cases, couples can have their own biological child through surrogacy, which is not possible in the case of adoption. Adoption process involves a lot of legal paperwork which may go overboard, at times, however surrogacy process is smoother on the legal front. When compared to surrogacy process, adoption lacks personal touch. When we talk about adopting a child, unlike surrogacy, the baby may not share emotional and mental traits of the intended parents. While in surrogacy, the baby is formed of the parent’s genes, so the baby possesses the traits of its parents.

Seed ART Bank surrogacy program has a wide-variety of surrogates to offer to the intended parents looking for a surrogate. A surrogate mother in India prior to becoming a surrogate mother at Seed ART Bank is thoroughly screened medically and psychologically to determine her mental, emotional and psychological health. If the surrogate is fit and healthy, she will be able to carry a baby to full term and deliver a fit baby.

10-Things to Consider Before Surrogacy Treatment

Surrogacy can be a miraculous gift, a way for a childless or infertile couple to fulfill their desire to become parents. However, precautions should be taken to ensure that all parties have a positive and healthy experience. 

There are top 10 things you must consider before working with a surrogate.

1. You must have a medical necessity to participate in surrogacy.

Visit an IVF doctor and ask if he or she recommends that you do surrogacy. Keeping your good figure or a stressful high-powered job are not valid reasons to work with a surrogate mother. Most IVF doctors (and all good IVF doctors) will only work with couples that have a medical reason to do surrogacy. There are sometimes psychological issues that can be included, but we consider psychological to be a medical reason.

2. Psychological counseling for the couple.

See a counselor to discuss if surrogacy is right for you, and if you can actually do surrogacy. Can you allow someone to carry a child for you? There are women who need a surrogate mother, but will try to control every aspect of the surrogate's life, and this will cause conflicts between them. Seriously consider child-free living, and discuss this option with your counselor.

3. Psychological counseling and evaluation for the surrogate and her husband or partner.

What is her motivation for becoming a surrogate mother? Has she done surrogacy before, and what went wrong or right that she feels the need to do it again? Does she understand that the couple will be involved in the pregnancy and may have different opinions regarding pregnancy care and treatment? How involved will she allow the couple to be? Get a written psychological clearance on your surrogate mother.

4. Understand the legal status of surrogacy law in the state where your surrogate mother lives.

It is crucial to get an independent legal consultation regarding the laws of the state she lives in. If there are any doubts about finalizing your parental rights, DO NOT Proceed. If you plan on having her deliver in another state, DO NOT Proceed, because she could have a premature delivery. All parties should have independent legal counsel represent them, and all parties must sign legal contracts before any medical procedure is undertaken.

5. All parties should complete a surrogacy questionnaire that is shared with each other.

These questionnaires include questions about mental illness, hospitalizations, genetic illnesses, prior marriages, prior children, health status, marital status, bankruptcies and legal judgments, prior pregnancy history, infertility history, etc.

6. Psychological counseling

There should be ongoing psychological counseling for all parties throughout the pregnancy and for at least two months after birth.

7. The cost of surrogacy

Do you have the financial ability to pay for the pregnancy? Can you cope with the costs of a high-risk pregnancy, premature birth and miscarriage?

8. At least one parent should be biologically connected to the child being conceived.

If both egg donor and sperm donor are needed with a surrogate mother, be prepared for a far more complicated relationship both legally and psychologically, and ONLY work with a surrogate mother who is a resident in the state of California. California is the only jurisdiction that recognizes such a relationship.

9. Openly discuss and document everyone's expectation of the surrogacy relationship.

This is where each party learns what is expected of him or her by the other, and if they can do what is expected of them. They should also discuss the kind of relationship they believe they would want after birth. Many couples and surrogate mothers find they cannot answer this question, because they have never participated in surrogacy before. This is an answer in itself, as it indicates they are open to many possibilities.

10. Selecting the right agency.

Evaluate the advantages to working with a reputable surrogacy agency.

Seed ART Bank - Where Intended Parents Build Family Through Surrogacy

What is Gestational surrogacy?

Surrogacy is a method of assisted reproduction whereby a woman agrees to become pregnant for giving birth to a child for others to raise. In gestational surrogacy, the surrogate does not have any relation with the child as she gets pregnant with an unrelated embryo. In some cases, surrogacy is the only available option for couples who wish to have a child that is biologically related to them.

Intended Parents- Choosing the Surrogate Mother

The gestational surrogacy arrangement is done with the help of fertility clinics or an agency. And helping to find the best gestational surrogate for intended parents is facilitated by the independent agency.  Seed ART Bank take pride in helping you find the ideal surrogate match based on your needs and desires. Together, we will work with you to achieve your dream of becoming a parent. An intended parent offers a compensation to secure a willing surrogate. There can be several reasons for intended parents to choose surrogate pregnancy. For instance, intended parents may arrange a surrogate pregnancy because a woman who intends to be parents is infertile or unable to carry a pregnancy to term, e.g., woman with hysterectomy, uterine malformation or with a history of recurrent miscarriages or any medical illness making her pregnancy at risk. A female who wishes to have a child may be fertile and healthy, but unwilling to undergo pregnancy due to medical issues.

Surrogacy in India - Legal Conformity

The concept of surrogacy in India is not new. Commercial surrogacy was made legal in early 2002 and since then thousands of couples have done surrogacy in various cities of India.  Due to the English speaking environment and cheaper services, surrogacy services offered by the fertility clinics attract the willing clients.

Perspectives of Surrogacy

Surrogacy and Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) offer solutions to infertility. There has been a growing demand of ART services as the infertility rates are growing the globalized world. Many women give are career-oriented and wish to have a child later with using IVF in the later years. If they are unable to conceive with IVF they then consider for surrogacy to have a child. Together, we will work with you to achieve your dream of becoming a parent.

Why do Women become Surrogates?

Surrogacy is one of the options for couples to have child while surrogates not only get compensation but they fulfil their own dreams for carrying the child to term. No one gets into the surrogate parenting business only for the money purposes. For one thing, surrogacy agencies in India won’t allow it. According to Seed Art, Delhi-based surrogacy agency, surrogacy is increasingly common for people who cannot have children on their own. That’s why surrogate mother plays an important role for intended parents to have children, genetically related to them. “I am very happy that I become a successful surrogate for a foreign couple with their sperm and eggs. I already have children and am proud another family was created because of me,” says a surrogate from rural India who was also associated with Seed ART.

No genetic relationship with Surrogate

Women who decide to become surrogates experience love being pregnant and have genuine interests to help a couple have a child. Surrogates readily come to help through agencies and using Assisted Reproductive Technology to create a family for childless couples. Many people have myths surrounding surrogacy services in India. However, in gestational surrogacy, which is more common, where the surrogate uses the intended mother's eggs, or donor eggs, and the intended father's sperm. With gestational surrogacy, an egg is fertilized and transferred to the surrogate mother's uterus using IVF. In this case, the surrogate mother has no genetic link, and both intended parents can be named on the birth certificate.

Statistics on Surrogacy in India

While there are few statistics on the surrogacy industry here, India has become a hub for medical tourism because of the availability of advanced technology, the large number of medical professionals and the relatively cheap costs. A latest research estimates that around 1,000 surrogacy births occur every year in India, but there is no official record-keeping for surrogacy and the involvement of surrogates in the process.

Genetic Parents get Baby Birth Certificate

The Indian Council of Medical Research, a government body, introduced guidelines for accreditation, supervision and regulation of surrogacy and assisted-reproduction clinics in 2005. Intended Parents are the legal parents, for a baby born to a surrogate with all the rights and responsibilities. The name of the surrogate mother is not mentioned on the baby's birth certificate. ICMR guidelines are clear about this. The birth certificate will only carry the name of the genetic parents or of the single genetic father. In most cases, the clients’ sperm and egg are implanted in the surrogate’s womb, with DNA tests done after the birth to prove the genetic links to the couple and ease the issuing of a foreign passport. 

Surrogates in India only become a facilitator between agency and Intended Parents. Their role is limited to achieve pregnancy with using ART, everything else is the responsibility of agencies.
