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.

Creating A Relationship With Your Surrogate in India

It is important to build the good relationship with your surrogate as it benefits both the parties. Surrogates are mentally prepared and ready to help others. Their basic aim to become a surrogate is to help you create your family and the pay-off for them is seeing you gazing at your newborn for the first time. In this Post, let’s know the things that can help make your relationship smooth and pleasant. At Seed ART Bank, we have been telling surrogates and intended parents that the basic four things that makes a sound relationship in surrogacy work includes trust, communication, appropriate boundaries and flexibility.

Trust

Trust is the first and foremost ingredient to build a good relationship in the surrogacy program. It should be at the core of your relationship with your surrogate. Trust is considered as a mutual gift and boosts the success in any surrogacy program. Surrogates after being selected in the matching program want to feel that you trust them and that you know that your baby is in good hands. They don’t want or need to be managed by you (although of course it’s understandable that you want lots of details). If you have a solid foundation of trust in your surrogate and she in you, you will be able to relax and enjoy your surrogacy journey.

Communication

Communication is the second important ingredient in your surrogacy relationship. Being able to communicate with each other about your relationship and about the pregnancy will certainly help you feel that you are really participating and it will help your surrogate feel that you really care. You can have face-to-face communication or if intended parents reside at some other, you can chat, Skype or call with the surrogate at regular intervals. These things are being facilitated by the team of professionals at Seed Art Bank, the largest surrogacy agency in India. The best way to keep open lines of communication with your surrogate is to be interested in her and her life, but you can keep it light and let the relationship develop naturally.

Boundaries

Setting the boundaries is an essential part of any relationship and the surrogacy relationship is no exception. One should be always careful about the thin line between the commitments and services. The parties involved in the surrogacy program should also be careful not to make promises that you can’t keep–remember your surrogacy relationship exists for one goal: to help you create your family. Intended parents sometimes make the mistake of “falling in love at first sight” with their surrogate when they meet her and realize that she is the woman who will help them fulfill their dream of parenthood. In that honeymoon phase they may reveal things or promise things that they later regret. The rule of thumb is: take it slow, be warm and authentic and have good boundaries.

Flexibility

Flexibility is the last ingredient in the surrogacy relationship is. Surrogacy is not a linear process and there are many points in the journey where flexibility will be essential. Remember that your surrogate probably has a very full life outside of the surrogacy and although your journey to parenthood may be first and foremost on your mind, she also has to think about her kids, her partner, and her job, and the surrogacy may not always be first in line for her attention. So, be flexible in your expectations of her. She doesn’t need to return your call instantly to be taking good care of her body and your baby!

Overall, your surrogate’s primary goal is to succeed at having your baby–the relationship that you have along the way is the backdrop for that unfolding story and the beginning chapter in your child’s life. When you trust each other, have good, open communication, live inside of appropriate and fluid boundaries and bring flexibility to all of your expectations you set the stage for a wonderful journey together!

Gestational Surrogacy - Fulfills the joy of Parenthood for Prospective Parents

Surrogacy is the process in which the mother and father’s genetic material is placed in another woman’s womb (surrogate) who carries and gives birth therefore essentially it is their baby, genetically and is nurtured by the surrogate’s womb who handover the baby to the rightful parents. It’s this woman who is called as gestational surrogate or carrier and whose role has a big contribution in the surrogacy process. According to law, surrogacy is legal for Indian couples this is because:

1.Great faith in the skill of doctors and their results.

2.Technical competence.

3.Surrogate mother in India who acts as surrogates are simple, do not drink or smoke or take drugs and are complaint to doctor’s orders

4.In the surrogate mother process in India, the woman’s uterus remains intact; she does not lose any organ. In fact, it can be compared to blood donation, where blood once given another person reforms and benefits both the giver and taker.

Gestational Surrogacy/Surrogate mothers in India

In medical terminology, gestational surrogacy is a method of assisted reproduction in which embryos created by IVF are transferred into the uterus of a woman genetically unrelated to the embryos. Prospective parents opt for Surrogacy- for women without a functional uterus; for women with underlying medical problems which could cause great risk to mother or baby during pregnancy; for women with previous history of failed IVF cycles without a known cause; and when used in conjunction with donor eggs, to allow conception for couples.

The eggs are fertilized and embryos cultured for three to five days in the laboratory. On the day of transfer, the best embryos are selected and are placed in the uterine cavity of the surrogate mothers in Delhi. The number of embryos transferred largely depends on the age of the woman producing the eggs and the quality of the cultured embryos.

The pregnancy success rate of the surrogate mother process India is also depends primarily on the age of the woman providing the eggs. In cases where donor egg is utilized, a situation with both optimal egg and uterine factors, the success rates are among the highest possible in reproductive medicine today with pregnancy rates of 75-80% and delivery rates over 60%.

Things you need to know about Gestational Surrogacy

When a woman is unable to bear a child due to medical reasons, she needs the help of a gestational surrogate to expand their family. In gestational surrogacy arrangements, the intended mother provides the eggs for the surrogacy program. They usually choose an agency or a fertility clinic where they find a suitable surrogate that meet their needs. Typically there is a legal agreement drafted and signed by the surrogate and the intended parents. Seed ART Bank surrogacy agency is much less expensive and comprehensive than other agencies in India.

In gestational surrogacy, the baby is biologically related to the intended parents and is not genetically related to the gestational surrogate – the egg usually comes from the intended mother and the sperm comes from the intended father (though donor eggs, donor embryos, or donor sperm are sometimes used).

Who needs a Gestational Surrogate?

• Women who were born without a functioning uterus or who have had their uterus surgically removed.
• Women who have acquired disorders that make their uterus unsuitable for pregnancy such as extensive fibroids.
• A record of recurrent miscarriage or repeated IVF failure.
• Women who have a serious medical condition that will aggravate further that or put them at significant medical risk if they become pregnant.
• People, who become the intended parents have a chance to get a baby, linked with them genetically.
• The very embryos transfer is considered to be quite a quick and easy process.
• It is also done sometimes in couples with recurrent IVF implantation failure.
• Women who have a history of recurrent pregnancy loss.
• Laws supporting gestational carriers
• Established clinical treatment process.
• High Success rates

Benefits of Gestational Surrogacy

Gestational surrogacy is a wonderful benefit for some couples. Like all medical procedures, gestational surrogacy is successful and suitable for indicated reasons. The woman who carries the baby is known as the gestational surrogate or gestational carrier.

What you should know about ART Treatments?

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is the fertility treatment to achieve pregnancy through various procedures such as in vitro fertilization in which eggs are removed surgically from the woman and mixed with the sperm in the laboratory dish. The embryo created is then transferred into the uterus or are donated to another women. Besides IVF, the other procedures of ART include artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization and surrogacy.

Assisted Reproductive Technologies can be used by the infertile couples to avoid the fertility problems while preserving the genetic connection relationship with the child. The first test tube baby was born in 1978 in Britain and by 2012, about 1.5 million ART cycles were performed annually worldwide. It was estimated that more than 5 million babies had been born since first IVF procedure till 2014. Generally, ART treatments are recommended when other treatments have been unsuccessful. In some cases, there may be a severe male infertility or tubal obstruction.

In-vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET), and frozen embryo transfer (FET) are the main procedures that comes under ART. With the development in ART sciences, in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer is having the largest market segment due to its higher success rate. In order to increase the success rate, time lapse imaging system is used during the treatment procedure where clear picture of egg division are recorded and fate of embryo has been decided.

The developments in the assisted reproductive technology is likely to increase further due to growing number of infertility cases, rising disposable income, increasing number of smokers, obese population and stress levels. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), globally 1.9 million obese and 600 million people were diagnosed to be overweight. According to a study states that six out of ten people suffer from stress at work place. One in seven couples globally experience some form of infertility.

Infertile couples who seek treatments through fertility clinics usually get in touch with surrogacy agencies. Surrogacy agencies in India have tie-up with the fertility clinics.
