Parenthood is exciting, but conception is not smooth for everyone. Fertility concerns can derail or even mean you can’t conceive. Intended parents San Diego can actualize their desires by turning to surrogacy, whether they are struggling with infertility or are LGBTQIA+. Surrogacy can be complex, but the approach’s many contributions make it a worthy course. Among the notable surrogacy benefits for the intended parents worth the time and commitment, if not more, includes the following:
Grow a family despite infertility
Your desire to add a branch to your family can be stopped in its tracks by infertility. The treatments can fail to deliver even after spending considerable time and money. You want a child you are genetically related to, meaning you may not be as open to adoption. Gestational surrogacy allows you to have a child with you/your partner’s genetics. You get the chance to have a child derived from your genetics, beating infertility stopping you from growing your family.
Involvement in the process
While each surrogacy agreement is unique, it allows you to be heavily involved. You can be present from fertilization, embryo transfer, the first heartbeat, and other appointments to the baby’s birth. Such involvement means the intended parents form a stronger bond with the child and the surrogate mother. Healthy relationships often last a lifetime, a win-win for the intended parents, surrogate mother, and the child considering the support available.
High success rate
Surrogate mothers are not randomly picked. They are healthy since vetting includes thorough tests to establish their reproductive and overall health. The surrogates have a proven track record of carrying healthy pregnancy(s) to term. This means the process offers a higher success rate compared to the intended parents relying on infertility treatments. This provides more control and peace of mind than fertility treatments, making the journey easier for the intended parents.
Raise a child from birth
Surrogacy allows intended parents to raise a child from the moment they are born. It is the dream of most, if not all, hopeful parents, whether in the LGBTQIA+ community, single individuals, battling infertility, or other circumstances, to hold a newborn and raise them, which is unlikely in adoption. Experiencing all the milestones as the baby grows and sharing the moments, including stories of their pregnancy when they are no longer kids, makes a family more complete. Such an opportunity is a notable reason more intended parents favor surrogacy over alternatives like adoption.
An alternative to adoption
Numerous surprises can characterize adoption. Besides the demanding legal framework, parents may have difficulty finding a child that clicks with their family. There are a few surprises with surrogacy since the contract is signed before embryo transfer, outlining expectations and everything in between. Intended parents also face fewer restrictions, including concerns like age that could mean they cannot adopt.
Surrogacy has its downsides, including relinquishing some control and trusting a surrogate to carry your child. Nonetheless, it offers an opportunity to put the frustrations experienced over the years of struggling to conceive behind you and grow your family.
