Pros for Surrogacy

Surrogacy often receives a bad reputation. Couples who choose to use surrogacy are sometimes seen as rich, lazy people who do not want the trouble of carrying a child themselves, according to SurrogateMother.com. However, there are many reasons why surrogacy can be a beneficial experience for a couple and for the surrogate mother as well.

  1. Biological Conception

    • One of the main benefits of surrogacy is the ability to have biological children even when the biological mother is unable to carry a baby herself. Many parents really desire to have children from their own bloodline. Surrogacy is a great advantage for women who are unable to carry babies naturally, due to uterine issues or other reasons that a pregnancy cannot be undertakes. Surrogacy is an alternative to adoption or foster care for families unable to conceive.

    Older-Age Births

    • Surrogacy is also advantageous for older mothers who have waited too long to carry a baby naturally or who do not want the pain and hassle of in vitro fertilization. Surrogacy ensures that a baby receives the healthy care that it needs during growth and birth without causing the mother or baby unnecessary risks. Older ladies who have waited to have children can ensure their child receives the maximum care during pregnancy that they would be unable to provide themselves owing to advancing age.

    Joy of Parenting

    • Surrogacy enables parents to experience the joy of parenting even if they are unable to conceive naturally or adopt. Caring for a child is a great joy for many men and women of all ages. Fertility issues or the inability to adopt or foster a child should not deter a willing and financially able couple from parenting a child from birth onward. Surrogacy enables a greater number of willing couples to share in the joy of pregnancy and parenting.

    Surrogate Mother Benefits

    • There are benefits of surrogacy not only for the parents of the child, but also for the surrogate mother. In addition to having all medical expenses paid, a surrogate mother often earns a significant fee for carrying the child -- from $10,000 upward as of 2011, according to FertilityFactor.com. The surrogate mother is sometimes able to remain in contact with the child after birth, functioning in an aunt or godmother capacity.
