Surrogacy is a great option in certain circumstances

by Fertility & Surrogacy Legal Group, APC | Sep 28, 2022 | Surrogacy Law

When considering starting a family, some California prospective parents may feel that they are not able to carry a child themselves or may not want to. In these cases, working with a surrogate can be a great option. Following are some reasons that they may choose to work with a surrogate instead of carrying a pregnancy themselves.

Why would someone choose a surrogate?

There are several reasons someone may choose a surrogate. There are some medical conditions that make carrying a pregnancy to term either too risky for the mother or unsafe for the baby. In these cases, it’s best to work with a surrogate who is in good health and has no known medical conditions which could affect the pregnancy.

Although the pain of childbirth is different for everyone, some women may want to avoid it altogether. Working with a surrogate eliminates the need for the mother to experience any discomfort during childbirth.

For couples who have experienced previous miscarriages or stillbirths, working with a surrogate can help give them the chance to have the child they have always wanted.

What should you look for when choosing a surrogate?

When looking for a surrogate, it’s important to make sure that they are qualified and have undergone the necessary health screenings. It’s also important to ask about their experience carrying babies for other parents. The more experience they have, the better.

It’s also important to make sure that you are compatible with your surrogate in terms of values and parenting style. This will make communication and collaboration much easier throughout the surrogacy process.

Trustworthiness is perhaps the most important quality to look for in a surrogate. You need to be able to trust them implicitly in order to feel comfortable handing over such an intimate and important responsibility like surrogacy. Make sure you get references from previous clients and speak with them about their experience working with your potential surrogate.

Choosing a surrogate is an important task

Choosing a surrogate is a very personal decision. There are many factors to consider in order to find the right fit for you and your family. By keeping the above factors in mind, you can help narrow down your search and find the perfect person to carry your baby.
