Surrogacy In India - What is the Price Paid
This year there has been a lot of publicity about Surrogacy in India. While the cost for the IVF process and the Surrogate's compensation is less then here in the United States, Intended Parents are missing out.
Having been a surrogate mother, I can assure you that the Intended Parents are missing out on the entire emotional connection that happens between the surrogate and parents. I have helped both domestic and international couples. Regardless of how many miles are between us, there is a an overlap of compassion for each other.
The parents going to India are not able to build a relationship, share in the pregnancy or participate in the birth with their surrogate. They never know any personal details about their surrogate, let alone her name. The surrogates are young women who are interested in the money to create fortune for their families.
I find this to be a very cold way to have a child. While I do believe the opportunity for an infertile couple to have a child is a wonderful thing. I question at what price these parents are paying?
My wife and I have traveled to India for IVf and Surrogacy with Dr. Nayna Patel at Akanksha Infertility Clinic in Anand. We have put together a 40 page booklet full of information for couples that are interested in going to India for IVF/Surrogacy. See our website for more information.
