In India and worldwide recent
years, the number of infertile couples or childless couples increases very
rapidly. The incidence of infertility is about 15% worldwide; today every one
couple out of seven is infertile due to any of the infertility causes. Most
developing countries, one out of four ever-married couples of reproductive age
are infertile because of primary or secondary infertility. Misconceptions are
very common in the world of infertility. One popular myth is that infertility
is the "woman's problem" and once that problem is fixed, the couple
will be able to conceive. Some people have myth that by giving time or relaxing
infertility can be overcome, however the fact is that fertility issues are
medical in nature and there are effective treatments available for these
problems.
The times when medical advances
like IVF was not available, the only option in third party reproduction is
traditional surrogacy where a woman (surrogate mother) is artificially
inseminated with the sperm from the intended parent and the woman is a biological
mother to the baby she is carrying. Through traditional surrogacy, there is a
50% genetic tie to that child and that is the reason why these days most of the
intended couples prefer gestational surrogacy that allows intended parents to
use their own genetic makeup (egg or sperm) and surrogate mother just assist
them by renting her uterus for nine months or up to the delivery of the child.
From last few years, surrogacy is
gaining amazing popularity among infertile couples, especially for those who
can't conceive children in the natural way or are unable to get pregnant
through other assisted reproductive techniques. The very most common reason why
people opt for a surrogate is when the woman has absence of uterus. Sometimes
it can be absent since birth or may have been surgically removed. Also woman
with multiple IVF failure for unexplained reasons and those who have suffered
multiple miscarriages generally opt this effective treatment option to enjoy
parenthood.
Surrogate can be anyone including
a sister, mother or close friend of a couple or also someone known or unknown
to the couple, who is ready to her womb. Women who agree to become surrogates
may do so for compassionate reasons.
Certain guidelines have been laid
down to try to minimize the misuse of the surrogacy arrangement. As per the
Indian Surrogacy Law, a surrogate mother needs to sign a contract which should
specify that the child will become the legitimate adopted child of the intended
couples. Surrogacy technique has received quite a lot of bad history recently,
especially when there is a dispute over the baby between the intended parents
and the surrogate and that is the reason why many people are worried about the
possibilities of the surrogacy being misused.
It's a fact that surrogacy is a
hope for many childless couples, but here it is important to remember that this
technique does offer one method of achieving parenthood to only those couples
who could never have a baby by any other means of pregnancy. The path of
surrogacy is a rocky one and also requires a lot much thought. Perhaps it is
the most complex and difficult way to achieve parenthood, but still only option
to a few couples, so they must be careful to choose a certified agency that
will provide them with all information they require. Aayush Surrogacy India is
one of the best choices in India for Surrogacy treatment which provides very
low cost with high success rate.
