Begin A Family With A Surrogate Parent

By Calli Kuzon

If you've tried everything to get pregnant but have had no success there is another option that you maybe haven't thought of, surrogate parenting. If adoptions not for you, then a surrogate mom can help you realise your dream of becoming parents. You can even use a sperm donors deposit without them even knowing it was used.

But before you even get to that stage you have to sign a legal agreement. The donors rights to the child will be agreed upon here. The laws on surrogate parenting, and hiring surrogate moms vary from state to state. You should make sure you understand all the laws specific to you and the state before you proceed with the surrogacy.

The actual surrogacy itself can take place in a number of ways. Some surrogate moms do not want an intimate relationship with the new mom as she is giving up all rights to the child, and she doesn't want any more involvement. Then again other surrogate will keep their options open so they can change their mind when the child is born about keeping the baby, and the involvement in its life, depending on the legal agreement specifics.

Most experts would agree that surrogate parenting works a whole lot smoother if the woman choosing to be the surrogate mom already has a family of her own. So an ideal surrogate has her own children and does not wish to extend her family any further.

So what are the reasons that drive women to become surrogate moms? Well it can be quite rewarding financially for a start. Any medical bills incurred during the pregnancy will also be taken care of. Still others do it because they are friends or family members of the recipients. They want to help the couple become parents, something they cannot do alone. - 31376
