Altruistic Surrogacy at New World Fertility Centre:
What is Altruistic Surrogacy?
Definition: Altruistic surrogacy involves a surrogate mother who carries a pregnancy for the intended parents without receiving any financial benefit, except for the coverage of medical costs and pregnancy-related expenses.
Motivation: The surrogate usually has a personal connection to the intended parents or is motivated by the desire to help them have a child.
Legal Framework in India:
Regulations: The Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021, regulates surrogacy in India. It allows only altruistic surrogacy, prohibiting commercial surrogacy arrangements.
Eligibility: Only Indian nationals are eligible, and intended parents must meet specific criteria, such as being married for at least five years and unable to conceive a child.
Surrogate Mother Requirements: The surrogate must be a close relative of the intended parents, married, and have at least one biological child of her own.
Surrogacy Process at New World Fertility Centre:
Initial Consultation and Evaluation:
Counseling: Both intended parents and the surrogate mother receive thorough counseling to ensure they understand the medical, legal, and emotional aspects of surrogacy.
Medical Evaluation: Comprehensive medical examinations for the surrogate and intended parents to assess their suitability for the surrogacy process.
Legal Advice: Legal counseling to explain the legal framework, surrogacy agreement, and rights and responsibilities of all parties involved.
Matching and Agreement:
Matching Process: If the intended parents do not have a surrogate, the centre assists in identifying a suitable close relative willing to act as the surrogate.
Surrogacy Agreement: A legal agreement is drafted and signed, detailing the terms and conditions, ensuring all legal requirements are met.
IVF and Embryo Transfer:
Ovarian Stimulation: The intended mother or an egg donor undergoes ovarian stimulation to produce multiple eggs.
Egg Retrieval and Fertilization: Eggs are retrieved and fertilized with the intended father’s sperm in the laboratory to create embryos.
Embryo Transfer: The resulting embryos are transferred to the surrogate’s uterus. The surrogate then carries the pregnancy to term.
Pregnancy and Post-Delivery Care:
Regular Monitoring: The surrogate mother undergoes regular medical check-ups and monitoring throughout the pregnancy to ensure the health and well-being of both her and the baby.
Delivery and Handover: The delivery is planned, and after birth, the baby is handed over to the intended parents. Post-delivery care is provided to the surrogate mother.
