Surrogacy Overseas

For many couples who are unable to achieve pregnancy through conventional treatments, third-party parenting offers tremendous hope for success. Third-partyparenting is a collective term for Egg Donation, Embryo Adoption, Gestational Surrogacy, Donor Insemination, and Adoption of a child. These procedures are options for the infertile couple to consider when a female, for some reason, cannot produce healthy eggs or the proper gestational environment for a pregnancy or when a male cannot produce healthy sperm. 

Why Surrogacy in India?

India is the preferred destination for Surrogacy for 2 reasons. 

1. Surrogacy is affordable in India. In Australia the cost of psychological screening is $25,000 alone.  In the US surrogacy costs up to $120,000. In India, couples pay a quarter of that amount. Having a child costs anything between $25,000-$35,000. Packages include the in vitro fertilisation, caring for the surrogate for her full term of pregnancy , the surrogate’s compensation and accommodation for the intended parents.
2. The second reason is because of India's surrogacy laws. It is far simpler to become legal parents in India. Unlike countries such as Australia, UK, USA, Canada and New Zealand, which consider surrogates legal mothers, India recognises the intended parents as the legal parents. Also, couples don’t have to fear that Indian surrogates will refuse to give up children they bear. In some states in the US, where surrogacy agreements are not legally binding, there have been cases of surrogate mothers deciding not to relinquish babies. In India, on the other hand, most surrogates are from the middle and lower classes. All surrogates are required to sign contracts waiving any rights over the child.
    

IVF surrogacy involves the transfer of one or more embryos derived from the infertile 
woman's eggs and from sperm of her partner (or a sperm donor) into the uterus of a 
surrogate. In this case, the surrogate provides a host womb and does not contribute 
genetically to the baby. 


Selecting the Surrogate 

India as of now has no clear cut laws as to who will select the surrogate mother. I.C.M.R guidelines say that the clinic should not directly recruit a surrogate. Instead at our clinic, the surrogate mother is recruited by an N.G.O (A NON GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATION ) and by an ADVOCATE. 

Screening the Surrogate 

Once the surrogate has been selected, she will undergo thorough medical, criminal  and psychological evaluations, including:  

A cervical culture and/or DNA test to screen for infection with Chlamydia, Urea Plasma, Gonococcus, and other infective organisms that might interfere with a successful outcome.
Blood tests (as appropriate) for HIV, Hepatitis, and other sexually transmitted diseases are done. She will also have a blood test performed to ensure that she is immune to the development of Rubella (German measles) and will have a variety of blood-hormone tests, such as the measurement of Plasma Prolactin and Thyroid- Stimulating Hormone (TSH).  

Whether recruited from or by an IVF Center, family members, or through personal 
solicitation, the surrogate should be carefully evaluated psychologically as well as 
physically. This is especially important in cases where a relatively young surrogate or 
family member is recruited. In such cases, it is important to ensure that the surrogate 
has not been subjected to any pressure or coercion. 

Follicular Stimulation and Monitoring the Female Partner (Egg Provider)  

The procedure used to stimulate the female partner of the infertile couple with fertility drugs and monitor her condition strongly resembles that used for an egg donor. 

Synchronizing the Cycles of Surrogate and Aspiring Mother 

The surrogate will receive estrogen orally, by skin patches, or by injections, and then progesterone to help prepare her uterine lining for implantation.  

Building the Surrogate's Uterine Lining with Hormonal Injections  

Egg Retrieval, Fertilization and Embryo Transfer  

The egg provider (aspiring mother) undergoes transvaginal ultrasound-guided egg retrieval, egg fertilization, and embryo culture. Approximately 72-120 hours following egg retrieval, the embryos are transferred to the surrogate's uterus. She then lies 
perfectly still for approximately 4-5 hours to enhance the chances of implantation and is then discharged from the clinic.  

Toward the Bioethics of IVF Surrogacy  

The determination of ethical guidelines has not kept pace with the exploding growth and development in IVF. However, some centers in this field are working together, sharing experiences and advice, in an attempt to formulate a code of ethics.  

The genetic combination of the male and the female provide two of the essential elements which, along with gestation, are necessary to produce a human being. The two-out-of-three rule basically looks at these three elements: the egg, the sperm, and the gestational component. 

Embryo Adoption 

Embryo adoption refers to the situation in which a woman receives embryos to which she and her male partner have not contributed biologically. When both partners are infertile, both donor sperm and donor eggs must be used if the woman is to become pregnant. Previously, adoption of a child would have been such a couple's only option. 
Now, however, "Prenatal Embryo Adoption" can be an alternative to adoption of a 
baby or child.  

Donor embryos can come from several sources. For example, a woman who cannot 
produce her own eggs might choose to adopt one or more embryos from a donor and 
have them transferred into her uterus. 

The desire to have a baby is one of life's most important and exciting decisions. At Global Health Travel we help you have safe and affordable Surrogacy at a World Class Clinic to make that dream come true.
