A surrogate mother is a female who carries a
child in her womb for someone else. There is
a great deal of controversy over some
surrogate cases, because there are not
enforceable laws in every state on surrogacy.
Many surrogate mothers wish to fulfill the
pregnancy in order to help a family member
or friend. It is against the law in most
locations to Become A Surrogate for financial

surrogacy further with a carrier, donor and

2. Surrogacy Process
• With a surrogate pregnancy, the surrogate must fully understand the
concept of the surrogacy. The surrogate should have a complete
mental evaluation to determine that she is of sound mind and will be
able to carry someone else’s baby and give it up after birth. A
complete medical exam is also required to assure that the surrogate is
in good health and does not have preexisting medical conditions that
could harm her or the baby. Legal paperwork should be drawn up to
protect the surrogate and the new parents. This can be a preempt to
the final adoption paperwork that will finalize the new parents
gaining legal custody over the child after he is born. The surrogate
and involved parties then meet with a fertility specialist to set up the
artificial insemination or in-vitro fertilization to implant the embryo
and impregnate the surrogate. Per a verbal or legal agreement, the
surrogate must hand over the baby at birth.

3. Surrogacy Types
• According to the Leading Surrogacy Center, there are three main
types of surrogacy; traditional AI, gestational and donor
egg/gestational. Traditional AI is where the surrogate donates her
egg and is artificially inseminated by the father’s sperm. At birth, a
stepparent adoption is completed so the mother can legally adopt the
child. A gestational pregnancy is where an embryo from the
biological parents is implanted into the surrogate via in-vitro
fertilization. The surrogate in this case is sometimes referred to as the
gestational carrier or host. A donor egg case is where an anonymous
egg from a donor and the sperm of the intended father are implanted
into the surrogate.

4. Surrogacy Carriers
• There are many different reasons why women become
carriers. One of the most common is to help or assist
parents in having a child of their own. Sometimes
family members or friends step in provide this role.
Carriers can also be found through adoption or
surrogacy agencies.

5. • Having a surrogate mother can be expensive. Costs
vary depending on the company you work with and
if you use your own donated sperm or egg. the total
cost on average for most surrogacy cases about
$12,000 in India, including all medical expenses
and the surrogate's fee. In the U.S., the same
procedure can cost up to $70,000.

6. Risks in Surrogacy
• There are risks involved with being a surrogate mother.
The biggest one is attachment to the unborn child-
especially if the surrogate is the egg donor. Surrogacy
should be handled much like an adoption because the
baby must be relinquished at birth. If you are considering
becoming a surrogate mother, medical problems such as
preeclampsia and other concerns at labor and delivery
should be discussed with your family doctor or IVF
specialist. Many states such as Michigan and the District
of Columbia prohibit surrogacy agreements; this can be
difficult when working with an agency. Other states may
be accepting but have difficulty making legal binding
agreements when it comes to finalizing an adoption in
surrogacy cases should a problem arise with custody.
