In commercial surrogacy the surrogate mother cost in California is borne by the individual or couple who desires a child but is not able to conceive naturally. In the case of surrogacy, the fee paid to the woman is in exchange for her carrying and giving birth to the newborn. Once the child is born; it is turned over to the individual or couple, this can be arranged privately or though legal adoption. The people who most often seek surrogates are couples who cannot conceive, same sex couples and unmarried people. It is not unusual for celebrities to use surrogates, Joan Lunden the former host of Good Morning America became the mother of twins and Elton John and his partner David Furnish became the parents of a baby boy.
There are a number of ways for surrogate mothers to become pregnant. There is intercourse which may or may not involve the child’s parent; other options involve artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization. In Vitro fertilization is a less common method as it involves fertilizing the egg outside the womb which can be quite costly.
It is not rare for the issue of commercial surrogacy to be heavily scrutinized by local, state and federal government bodies. There are a number of states in the United States that have banned surrogacy completely while other states allow the practice but with conditions and restrictions. In some counties surrogacy is legal but surrogate agencies that find the surrogate mother and charge a fee are not legal. There are many countries in Europe; France, Germany and Italy amongst them where surrogacy is illegal regardless of whether it is done for free or for profit. Because the laws regarding surrogacy are so strict in many developed nations it is now quite common for people to look internationally for their surrogate mother, India for example has allowed legal surrogacy since the early 2000s.
In the United States the surrogate mother cost in California can be in the tens of thousands of dollars. In many cases the couple or the individual who are responsible for paying the surrogate mother will also be responsible for all medical expenses and other compensation such as food and transportation.
In some countries where surrogacy is banned it has been done so due to what the country perceives to be ethical reasons. Proponents of the surrogacy process however maintain that it is of benefit to both the surrogate mother who earns from it and it provides a wanted child to those who otherwise would remain childless.
The surrogate mother cost in California is comprised of a number of expenses including direct compensation and various expenses. For complete details you are invited to discuss your plans with the Center for Surrogate Parenting, Inc.
