Initially, prospective parents and surrogate mothers engage in thorough consultations with fertility experts, attorneys, and psychologists. This phase encompasses in-depth discussions regarding legal, medical, and emotional aspects, as well as meticulous planning of the entire process.
The surrogate mother is subjected to hormone therapy in order to ready the uterus for the implantation of the embryo. Simultaneously, the biological parents also undergo procedures associated with the retrieval of eggs and sperm.
Couples opt for a surrogate mother either by engaging with an agency or through a private arrangement. Prospective surrogates are subjected to a thorough screening procedure, which encompasses a medical assessment, psychological evaluation, and background verification.
Embryos created through IVF/ICSI are implanted into the surrogate mother's uterus, followed by a waiting period to confirm the success of the pregnancy.
Legal documents are signed by all parties involved before the commencement of medical procedures. These documents outline the rights, responsibilities, and expectations of all participants, ensuring the protection of both the participants and the child.
During the pregnancy, the surrogate mother is provided with medical attention and assistance. Many couples partake in this journey as they get ready for the arrival of their baby. The birth of the child marks the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of the child and their parents.
