Having a kid and raising them is among the most fulfilling experience a person can have in their entire lifetime. A recent study has shown that twenty percent of couples cannot bear kids and it is not by choice rather they are unable to do so. Assisted reproduction is the only solution left for these couples to have kids o their own. There are many options available nowadays for childless couples to have kids.
Women can choose to help others by becoming surrogate mothers and carry the baby to term. There are benefits that are accompanied by becoming a surrogate mother. Firstly, choosing to carry a baby to term is the most humanly noble thing you can do to a couple without children, this can allow you to have a sense of self-fulfillment. There are women out there who love the experience of being pregnant, as weird as that might sound. They are amazed by the wonders of pregnancy, and they want to have the feeling over again. A surrogate can experience the wonders of pregnancy while helping people without the ability to bear children.
Altruistic surrogacy is usually where someone helps a childless couple without financial interests; however, the surrogate normally gets compensation for the expenses related to the pregnancy and birth, and not a dollar more afterward. But, there are surrogates who get lots of money to carry to term and give birth to a child that may be related to them or not.
Commercial surrogacy is where the lady is paid lots of cash to carry the baby to term. Surrogacy is a method of bearing children which takes up the time of a person, and is both mentally and physically demanding. Hence, before joining the program to become a surrogate mother, you have to be mental and physically capable of carrying the baby to term, and that is confirmed by a doctor.
Surrogate agencies that are well known take the responsibility of facilitating and administering screening services and on top of that offer counseling and legal advice. There is a sense of pride for women who choose to donate their eggs to help a couple who has been struggling to have children. Not all women are fit to donate their eggs for another couple to have kids. Conditions that women must qualify vary between agencies but the constant one is the age of the donor. They should be between the ages of twenty-one to thirty-five years.
Donation institutions prefer if the donor has given birth in the past or has donated their eggs before. The potential candidate has to be screened before joining the egg donation program. The donor is tested for mental and physical issues.
