Surrogacy in California: An Impossible Dream Made Possible!
Parenting is a beautiful experience but not every woman is fortunate to
conceive. This gives birth to a magical process of surrogacy that blesses
the most intended parents to transform their dreams into reality.
Surrogacy is the term used for a process in which a woman carries and delivers a child for
another couple or person. The surrogate may be the child’s genetic mother or is genetically
not related to the child. The intended parent or parents, sometimes called the social parents,
may arrange a surrogate pregnancy because of female infertility, other medical issues which
make pregnancy or delivery impossible, risky, or otherwise undesirable.
The legitimacy and costs of surrogacy vary widely according to different jurisdictions resulting in high rates of international and interstate surrogacy activity.
Types of Surrogacy
Surrogacy can be categorized into following types according to the process it follows:
Traditional Surrogacy (TS)
Traditional surrogacy & donor sperm (TS/DS)
Gestational surrogacy (GS)
Gestational surrogacy & egg donation (GS/ED)
Gestational surrogacy & donor sperm (GS/DS)
Gestational surrogacy & donor embryo (GS/DE)
Surrogacy Scenario in the United States Surrogacy in the U.S. is quite common for all the couples seeking Green Card because their
child is eligible for birthright citizenship in the United States, and can thereby apply for Green
Cards for the parents when turning 21 years of age.
California has very good surrogacy laws, however, the California Assembly Bill 1217, facilitates
new, improved, and positive California legislation regarding surrogacy which was into effect on
January 1, 2013.
Financial Benefits for a Surrogate in California
Surrogacy is more to do with humanity than with monetary benefits still; there are surrogates
who have used their financial benefits to accomplish many impossible dreams such as putting
down payment on a dream home, starting a new business venture, etc.
The fees paid to first time surrogates eventually increase with each baby it carries and also in
addition, the intended parents pay for all the medical, legal, and psychological costs associated
with surrogacy, as well as maternity clothing, additional medical procedures, the surrogate's
lost wages, travel allowance, insurance, etc. The legal services fee is also an additional cost to
finalize the adoption process.
