Currently, there is a lot of controversy around the topic of surrogacy. Defenders of this issue say that this is the only way to carry a child by a woman who is not genetically related to the baby in any way. Others resent and argue that surrogacy is similar to child trafficking. Who is right in the end?
Firstly, in order to become a surrogate mother, a woman must meet a number of requirements: the presence of excellent health and a positive Rh factor, the absence of bad habits, the birth of her child from 6 months, the age limit from 25-34 years without cesarean. As a rule, these are the requirements put forward by the ordering parents.
If you decide to become a surrogate mother, then remember that firstly, you are helping infertile parents to find the happiness of motherhood and fatherhood. Secondly, the love for the baby in such a family will be predetermined in advance due to the vain attempts to give birth to the child themselves.
There are also disadvantages to this method of carrying. Psychologically, a surrogate mother can become very attached to the child she is carrying, which later after delivery can lead to postpartum depression. A woman deciding to become a surrogate mother understands that this service is provided for a monetary reward, which can vary from 1,000,000 and from 20-30 monthly amounts. Of course, every work (and pregnancy and childbirth is a difficult process both morally and physically) must be paid, but if you look at the situation from the other side, you get the opinion that surrogacy is treated like a business.
Another slippery moment in carrying a child in this way: if the contract with the customer is incorrect, the surrogate mother risks not only not receiving monetary compensation, but also being left with a genetically alien child in her arms. As a result, there is a situation of misunderstanding on the part of the spouse and even divorce.
When deciding whether to help a childless couple carry a child, you must weigh the pros and cons. And remember that a child is not a thing or even an animal, but a person for which you will also be responsible, like biological parents.
