Independent Surrogacy
Independent surrogacy is a journey that takes place without
the use of an agency. There are many reasons for seeking an independent
surrogate, and we want to help you make sure that you understand the things you
may encounter.
Contracts
Just because you do not have a surrogacy agency does not mean that
you will not have a written agreement. When you enter into a surrogacy contract
with anyone, you need to make sure that you and the surrogate are both covered
in case of problems and that your rights and obligations are clear from the
beginning.
Attorneys
When signing any contract, you should hire an attorney to
look over it for you. You do not want to be caught in an unfair contract and
you probably do not want the journey to be unjust for the woman carrying your
baby either. For this reason, you both will want independent legal
representation.
Fees
Although you will be pursuing an independent journey, the
surrogate will have fees that are standard to be paid, but she may also have
some additional expenses that she requests to be paid. Before signing the
contract or agreeing to fees, be sure that you understand the fees and why they
are requested. You may also negotiate for the percentages and fees that you
will allow.
Medications and Medical Services
If you have vitamins or medications that you do or do not
want your surrogate taking, you need to discuss this from the beginning. You do
not want to be fighting with your surrogate later over a medication.
Abortion or Selective Reduction
If you are experiencing difficulties getting pregnant, you
may not even be considering abortion, but there are some cases that may warrant
abortion. The surrogate and intended parents need to be on the same page with
this.
Payments
How will you have the surrogate submit for payments? This
may seem like a boring thing to handle, but without an agency you must
negotiate this with the surrogate. Put it in writing so that everyone agrees.
Mediation
We hope that you do not have a problem, but they do
sometimes arise. You should make sure that you and your surrogate know what
needs to be done if you need a mediator or third party to help.
Birth
Who will be present at the birth and how will you be given
your new baby? You also want to know if the birth will be medicated or natural,
at home or in a birthing facility or hospital, water birth or other birthing
style. This may seem like it is up to the surrogate, but you should understand and
agree to the process as well.
Bottom Line
There are many things to consider on an independent journey.
These are just a few of the things that you will need to work out in the
beginning. Many independent journeys result in very happy parents. Good luck!!!

The Surrrogate Mother Search
Surrogacy has gained an increasing popularity over the
last few years. For couples who cannot have a child for certain reasons, they
opt to have their own through this way. When they decide to have surrogacy, one
the first things that the couple would have to decide on is choosing the
surrogate mother. This process should not be taken for granted, as it is
perhaps the most important part when it comes to surrogacy. The reason being is
that they are the ones who will carry and conceive the child. So, what are the
things that you should pay attention to when it comes to choosing a surrogate
mother? Here are the following:
1- Surrogate Agency
If you chose a surrogate agency for a surrogate mother instead of
independent ones, make sure to talk with the agency first regarding who would
be the best surrogates to choose from. The agency will match the surrogate to
the parent based on a number of conditions that you will provide. Remember, the
decision is yours. Also, your residence must be near the agency’s location, or
to the surrogate’s residence for that matter. This makes communication easier
between you and them. Take note that there is fair difference in surrogate
mother cost between surrogates under an agency and those who work
independently.
2- Health
The surrogate
mother must be physically fit and mentally and emotionally stable.
Experts also say that the perfect age for surrogates is 21 years old and above.
Other than that, it is better if the woman has already previously given birth
to at least one healthy baby. This shows that she already knows the medical
processes, specifications, and complications that come with pregnancy. But
either way, the surrogate must take a medical and psychological evaluation
before anything else to prove that she is fit for conceiving and labor.
3- Willingness
Any apprehension coming from the surrogate mother is not a good sign. She must completely be
willing to carry and birth your child and all the responsibilities therewith.
There are cases where they refuse to turn over the child the last minute and
decide to raise the kid themselves. This is where the contractual agreement
comes to use. Both parties will sign a contract agreeing that the child must go
to the intended parents. It is also recommended for you to ask your relatives
and friends first because they are more willing to become the surrogates, but
this has its own challenges because there are family ties not recommended for
surrogacy relationships.
4- Legal Matters
Agencies already have lawyers prepared for you, and
they generally manage all the legal matters needed for the process. But if you
have an independent surrogate mother,
make sure you hire an attorney because it is highly important that all the
dealings are made legal. A lawyer who specializes in reproductive and surrogate
laws is what you should look for, especially. Also, there are states that have
not yet legalized surrogacy, so make sure that it is legal in your place, or
have it any state that made them legal. Otherwise, legal actions can be filed
against you.
