Surrogacy: An Alternative to Consider Before Adoption.

Adopting a baby is a serious task that involves a lot of legal formalities, and it also takes a significant amount of time and energy. There is also a lot of social repercussions attached to adoption in the society.

Although it is a very noble and appreciative notion, the parents who consider adopting a child often become disheartened due to the bureaucratic delays and red tapes associated with the procedure.

Surrogacy in India: An Alternative to Adoption!!

In India, surrogacy is a wonderful alternative to adoption for the couples who want to complete their family with a child. The perk of this method is that the baby will be biologically their own.

Commercial surrogacy was legalised in India in 2002. Since then, Surrogacy Centres has been on the path to boom across the country. Since its legalisation, lot of infertile couples, who did not want to adopt, have been opting in favour of cost-effective surrogacy as they now get the opportunity to have their own biological child.

Surrogacy is a procedure in which a woman (a surrogate) carries and gives birth to a baby of another couple, who will be the biological parents of the baby.

Who can opt for Surrogacy in India?

Surrogacy as an option is available for women who:

• Are medically unfit to undergo labour.
• Have medical conditions.
• Suffer from infertility.
• Have experienced repeated cycles of failed assisted reproductive technology.
• Have malformations of the uterus.
• Have undergone hysterectomy.
• Had recurrent abortions.

What are the types of surrogacy done at the Surrogacy Centres in India?

Commonly, in India, gestational (host) surrogacy is practised. In this, the child is unrelated to the surrogate mother.

The surrogate mother does not possess any legal rights or claim over the baby, and she hands the baby over to the intended parents after the birth.

Surrogacy Centres in India: The Process of Surrogacy.

Ovum Extraction: The ovum is extracted from the intended other by a process called ovum pickup.

Sperm: The male provides the sperm either through the process of masturbation or retrieved by surgical methods such as TESA, MESA, or PESA.

Fertilisation: In vitro fertilization of the extracted ovum and sperm takes place in a petri dish in the laboratory. If the sperm is not able to fertilise the ovum on its own, intracytoplasmic sperm injection is performed to facilitate the process of fertilisation and the result will be an embryo.

Implantation: The surrogate mother’s womb is prepared to receive the embryo. Once the womb is prepared, the embryo is inserted, and implantation takes place with the help of medication.

Monitoring: The surrogate mother is regularly monitored. To this end, regular blood tests, sonographies, and continuous observation is done to ensure the healthy growth of the baby.

Surrogacy Centres in India and Their Success Rate.

The success rate of cost-effective surrogacy depends upon various factors including the following:

• Age of the surrogate and her ability to get pregnant.
• Age of the donor mother and father.
• IVF technique and the laboratory.
• Quality of the sperm and ovum

The risks involved in surrogacy are similar to those of IVF treatments:

• The fertility meds might result in ovarian hyperstimulation.
• Transfer of diseases from the surrogate:

There is always the risk of transferring diseases such as HBV from the surrogate mothers to the newly born. To avoid this, we, at Hedge Fertility, always choose the surrogates with utmost care, and only after thorough screening and testing.
