<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks to the availability of surrogacy clinics, infertility is no longer an issue that sometimes prevents couples from welcoming children into the world and raising them to adulthood.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the past, it was often necessary for parents to travel outside the United States if they wished to find a gestational surrogate. However, there are now many reputable surrogacy clinics in the United States. In California, the future parents’ names are listed on a birth certificate, so the surrogate will not be mentioned as the mother. That legislation is especially handy for avoiding potential legal complications.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Surrogacy clinics also give future parents great access to reliable surrogates. Sometimes, people decide to let friends or relatives carry children to term. That situation can be successful in some cases, but it can also cause unintended drama and relational strain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At most surrogacy clinics, all surrogates must go through physical and mental screenings to ensure they are fit for the stresses of carrying and birthing a child. They usually have to meet certain body weight standards and be non-smokers, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even when parents use gestational surrogates, they still have full biological ties to the children. That’s because sperm and eggs from the parents are used to create the embryo with in-vitro fertilization. The gestational surrogate is merely the vessel that carries the child until its birth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Therefore, if a woman wants to get pregnant but has been warned about possible risks because she has certain medical issues that may complicate a pregnancy, a gestational surrogate is a wonderful solution.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Surrogacy centers also commonly have many methods of support surrogates can use. For example, they’re commonly assigned caseworkers that communicate with the hospital and clarify that the woman is a surrogate. This ensures a smooth process when it’s time for the baby to be born.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gestational surrogates also may have the option of attending periodic group meetings with other surrogate moms so they can share their experiences. These perks help the surrogate feel equipped for the full pregnancy and relieve the future parents from any potential burdens.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Frequently, wellness programs are offered to the gestational surrogates. These may include things like relaxation coaching and massage. Then, future parents can feel confident their gestational surrogates are able to access stress management assistance during their pregnancies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can see, surrogacy clinics are excellent solutions for couples that cannot naturally conceive, but still want to be parents. <a href="http://www.californiasurrogateagency.com/">Click here</a> to learn more about a surrogacy clinic in San Diego.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong></strong><strong></strong>When
couples wish to become parents but are unable to do so naturally, they
may rely on surrogacy tourism. It involves going outside of a local area
for the purpose of finding a gestational surrogate mother who is
willing to carry children to term for future parents.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some specific reasons why couples may rely on surrogacy tourism include:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Surrogacy is not an accepted practice in their home countries</li>
<li>They have not been able to find accepted suitable surrogates locally</li>
<li>If it is less expensive to travel elsewhere to find a surrogate than to use local agencies</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Women
who act as gestational surrogates and are involved in surrogacy tourism
usually must meet minimum health requirements and go through mental and
physical screenings to ensure they are fit for carrying children.
Furthermore, they often have access to supportive resources such as
group meetings with other surrogates, and pre-natal massage sessions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Beneficial for the Gestational Surrogates</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Surrogacy
tourism doesn’t just allow infertile couples to experience the joy of
parenthood. It can also be a method for gestational surrogates to earn
income by agreeing to bear children, all while knowing they’re doing
something that will have life-changing benefits for the eventual
parents.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

you’re curious about whether surrogacy tourism could help you become a
parent, the first step involves reaching out to an agency. Click here to

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Surrogacy is becoming much more common
to help couples and singles become parents. It does have a high success
rate when done properly, but people have many questions about the
process.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Who Is Eligible to Use Surrogacy? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There
are no restrictions on surrogacy for married or unmarried couples. Even
single individuals can use gestational surrogacy as a method to have
their own child. Gay and lesbian couples have become parents through
this process, with the courts upholding their rights through the Uniform
Parentage Act.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Who Are the Baby’s Parents? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Provided
that you’ve followed the rule in California, when the baby is born, the
people named as the “Intended Parents” in the paperwork immediately
become the legal parents of the child. There is no adoption process or
waiting period. There is a contract in place with the surrogate as well
as a court order that provides for this legal status.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What About Donor Eggs or Sperm? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even
when the intended parents have used donor eggs or sperm, the potential
child still is designated as the baby of the parents, not the surrogate.
The legalities of using donated eggs or sperm is handled in the
paperwork, with the surrogate simply acting as a gestational host.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When
choosing surrogacy, it’s important to work with a medical and legal
team who understand this process. Don’t leave anything to chance by not
having an experienced advocate on your side. California is a
surrogacy-friendly state, but it relies on you following their rules to
receive the protection of the law. To get more information about <a href="http://www.californiasurrogateagency.com/egg-donation">egg donation in El Cajon</a>, visit this website.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>
<img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QLVkGNWdKsU/VZOB1GjCeZI/AAAAAAAAAAM/JOYTuj0i0cU/s320/1.jpg" width="198" />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A surrogate is a woman who is uses her
own uterus to carry an embryo for the purpose of giving birth to a baby
that will be given to and raised by another individual or couple. The
surrogate is acting as a vessel in which to house the developing baby.
There are two main types of surrogacy: traditional and gestational.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Traditional Surrogacy</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With this method, the egg originates from
surrogate’s ovaries. Sperm from the biological father is injected into
her uterus using intrauterine insemination, or IUI, so that
fertilization can take place. Consequently, the surrogate is the
biological mother of the baby. This method is typically only used if the
intended mother (the future parent) does not have healthy eggs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Gestational Surrogate</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A gestational surrogate does not provide
her own eggs and therefore will not be considered to be the biological
mother. The embryo is removed from the ovary of the biological mother
and it is fertilized in a laboratory by using sperm from the biological
father. Fertilization generally takes roughly three to five days, and
then the fertilized embryo is placed inside the uterus of the surrogate
using a process referred to as in vitro fertilization.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While these two primary types are
distinctly different from each other, both involve a woman carrying a
child that will be raised by an individual or couple who cannot have a
fully biological child of their own. The two methods appear to be
equally safe. To learn more about a surrogacy agency in San Diego, <a href="http://www.californiasurrogateagency.com/">visit this website</a>.</div>
