The term "surrogate" denotes a substitute. It refers to the process in which a woman becomes pregnant and delivers a baby with the intention of giving it to individuals unable to conceive or bear children independently. Surrogacy comes in two primary forms: gestational surrogacy and traditional surrogacy.
In the case of traditional surrogacy, the surrogate mother is either naturally or artificially impregnated, and the resulting child shares a genetic connection with the surrogate mother. This is because the child is conceived from the combination of her egg and the father's sperm, establishing the traditional surrogate as the biological mother of the baby.
In gestational surrogacy, the pregnancy occurs through the implantation of an embryo created using in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). This ensures that the resulting child has no genetic relation to the surrogate. Individuals undertaking this role are commonly known as gestational carriers.
A surrogate mother is a compassionate individual who carries and delivers the child on behalf of another woman, often someone facing infertility challenges, under a structured and legally binding arrangement.
Starting from 2002, commercial surrogacy has been legally permitted in India for Indian couples. The ART industry is currently regulated by ICMR. Hope Fertility Bank is an ART Bank registered with ICMR. As part of surrogacy agreements, surrogate mothers receive both medical healthcare and compensation.
Yearly, there has been a significant rise in the influx of foreign couples visiting India to avail surrogate services. These couples are often unfamiliar with Indian conditions and the environment, leading to heightened anxiety and frustration due to distance and other factors. Nevertheless, Hope Fertility Bank strives to alleviate these concerns by providing comprehensive information about the surrogates, including screening reports and regular foetal scans. Additionally, we extend assistance to ensure a smooth process for taking the babies back to their home countries
