What Is A Surrogate Motherhood Agreement

A traditional substitute is the baby`s biological mother. This is because it is his egg that has been fertilized by the father`s sperm. Donor seeds can also be used. Breastfeeding can delay a woman`s return to fertility by causing a lack of ovulation and periods and can prevent your uterine lining from forming properly, preventing the implantation of an embryo properly. Therefore, to become a surrogate, you should stop breastfeeding and continue your regular menstrual cycle for a more effective IVF process. It is important that you give your existing family and your breastfeeding child the attention they need at this early stage of their lives. We do not want to rush this part of your own journey and we will interfere in this particular period with your children. Although you have to stop breastfeeding before you become a surrogate, which can delay your dream of helping a couple become a parent, this does not prevent you from becoming a surrogate mother. In South Africa, there is a strong demand for surrogate mothers. At Fertility/AMA Law, we can guarantee that you have the opportunity to be a surrogate later. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine says surrogate mothers should receive a medical examination to verify that they are likely to have a major healthy pregnancy.

The organization proposes that they be tested for infectious diseases such as syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, cytomegalevirus and hepatitis B and C. There are many ways to find a surrogate: there are many variables and “what if” scenarios in surrogacy that need to be addressed in the contract. It is important to consider all possible outcomes and work with an experienced lawyer who knows what she needs to pay attention to in the contract. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine accepts certain family ties as acceptable to surrogate mothers. It generally discourages surrogacy if the child has the same genes as a child born of incest between next of kin. The latest version of this directive, RCFM 2.121/2015, [35] contains the rules generally prohibiting commercial surrogacy. Altruistic surrogacy is only permitted in two cases: (1) However, if the intended mother can bring an egg, she cannot carry a pregnancy herself or have a life-threatening illness; or (2) if intentional parents are part of a same-sex marriage. The surrogate mother must belong to the same family as one of the partners of an inbred kinship up to the fourth degree (i.e. first degree – mother, second degree – sister, third degree – aunt, fourth degree – cousin).
