An Introduction to Surrogate Parenting

There is an option for those who cannot conceive a child naturally and who don't want to adopt, and that is surrogate parenting. This is an agreement that a woman will become pregnant with another woman's baby through the process of in-vitro fertilization, and relinquish all rights to the child at birth.

The surrogate may or may not have the option of being involved with the child's life. It depends on what kind of contract is signed. Becoming or hiring a surrogate is obviously a very big decision that should be consider from all angles.

Usually, a surrogate mother will be paid for her services and all medical expenses related to the pregnancy and birth will be paid as well. You may wonder why any woman would want to be a surrogate, after all nine months of pregnancy and childbirth is no small task. In some cases, the surrogate is close to the parents, a friend or family member who wants to help fulfill a loved one's dream. Others are in the surrogacy business for the money, although some also say they feel good about helping people become parents who may not be able to otherwise.

For women considering becoming a surrogate, it is important that they understand all the details of what they are agreeing to. Many surrogates have their own children and do not want any more. This is a preferred situation because some may become attached to the baby if it is the first one they have ever had. They might change their mind at the last minute and want to keep the baby – whether or not they can is also a detail of the contract between the surrogate and person(s) they are carrying for. There will need to be a legally binding document drawn up by an attorney who handles surrogacy cases.

If you are unable to bear children with your partner and want to explore surrogate parenting as an option, there are a variety of resources that can help you. Reading the other articles on this website will undoubtedly be helpful. Many websites offer information about surrogacy in your local area. There may be laws and regulations in your locality regarding surrogate pregnancy. You may also want to join message boards and forums for surrogates or parents who are using surrogates. There are also many great books on the subject, such as 'Mommies, Daddies, Donors, Surrogates: Answering Tough Questions' and 'Building Strong Families' by Diane Ehrensaft.

Surrogates (DVD Talk)
Rent It THE FILM Director Jonathan Mostow has never offended me as a filmgoer. His pictures have been routinely well-constructed and visually interesting ("Terminator 3," "U-571," "Breakdown"), even in the face of underwhelming plots and misguided performances. "Surrogates" is undoubtedly a misfire for the filmmaker, but it's an interesting failure, peppered with a few memorable sequences and an ...
