Begin A Family With Surrogate Parents

By Calli Kuzon

If you are having little success trying to get pregnant you could try another option, surrogate parenting. You can use a surrogate mom and achieve your dream of becoming parents if nature has rendered you unable to bear a child. There is even the option of going through anonymous in-vitro fertilization and the actual sperm donor will never know his sperm was used.

You will of course have to sign a legal document before any of this proceeds. Here the agreements of the donor relating to the child will be dealt with. Each state has its own rules and regulating the way hiring a surrogate parent works. All the legalities have to be considered before agreeing to this type of arrangement.

There are a number of different ways that surrogacy can take place in. Some surrogate moms do not want to develop a close relationship with the recipient of the surrogate, and give up all rights to the baby. The opposite is also true. On the flip side other surrogates may retain the option of changing their mind and keep the baby, or have access to the childs life depending on what the law states and what was in the actual contract.

Most trains of thought in this field adhere to the concept that when hiring a surrogate mother, surrogate parenting works better with women who have already have their own children. In other words they want a woman who has experience of pregnancy so that she will not get over attached to the new child, especially if she considers her family complete.

So why would any women actually want to become surrogate moms? Well it can pay pretty well for one. They won't naturally have to pay for any medical bills relating to the pregnancy and the birth of the baby. Some surrogates are actually friends or family members. By becoming surrogates they are offering a couple who cannot do it themselves, the gift of becoming parents. - 29962
