A surrogate is a woman who agrees to give birth to a child resulting from implantation of an already fertilized egg (embryo)—and surrender her parental rights– for another individual who cannot be pregnant for various medical, biosocial, or psychological reasons. A surrogate can be a friend, family member, volunteer, or someone who is compensated professionally for this service. All surrogates undergo extensive medical and psychological screenings in order to ensure their suitability.
As surrogacy is a sensitive issue, the matter is approached very carefully in our clinic. Proper legal contracts are made between the Surrogate Mother, Assisted Reproduction Therapy (ART) banks and the Intended Parents.
Our surrogates are carefully chosen by the experienced staff of our partner companies. Every surrogate has already had children of her own and has undergone natural births with no complications. When relevant, the full consent of the surrogate’s husband is also obtained, as well as his agreement to support his wife during the pregnancy.
