Types of affordable surrogacy

Affordable surrogacy has proved to be life – altering for those who cannot plan a baby naturally. Surrogacy might pose to be a blessing but the legal barriers and the exorbitant costs would make it an option only for the rich.

In many countries surrogates are not compensated for services hence there is few or non – availability of surrogates. In such circumstance, medical tourism has been the boon to all those couples who might not be rich but in a position to raise a child well.

b)      Gestational surrogacy

When you are considering surrogacy it would be good to know about the available options. Before hiring a medical tourism provider interrogate abut surrogacy procedures involved in either of the above mentioned types.

GENETIC SURROGACY:

This is a traditional type of surrogacy. Here a surrogate is genetic mother of the child she bears. In case of straight couple or a gay couple the father’s sperm is used to fertilize the eggs. In the absence of a father or in the case of impotency the eggs are fertilized with the help of male donor. The process of donating sperms and fertilizing the eggs is known as artificial insemination.

The couples have demands like the surrogate should have specific physical appearance, skin and eye color. However if you hire a medical tourist agency they would not accommodate to such needs.

GESTATIONAL SURROGACY:

Gestational Surrogacy is the scientific development. The surrogate is not related to the baby genetically she bears. She is known as a ‘carrier’ for the childless couples. An embryo which is the product of genetic mother and male donor or genetic father and female donor is carried to the surrogate.

This is the best option for the gay couples. It is also best suited for those whom doctor has prescribed pregnancy as a health hazard. If the woman is experiencing any medical problem yet wishes to have her own baby she can opt for this type of surrogacy.
