Surrogate motherhood: price, conditions, pros and cons, age, law, for and against. Centers of surrogate motherhood in Russia and Belarus

The article will help to find answers to numerous questions to couples who plan to give birth to a child with the help of a surrogate mother and women who decide on surrogate motherhood.

Noise, laughter, scream, toys in the most unexpected places - it means that there is at least one child in the house.

However, some families, due to certain physiological pathologies of the father or mother, cannot know the power of parental feelings. And surrogate motherhood in this case is a solution to the problem.

But before you go to this, you need to very seriously consider all the “Pro et Contra” of such a choice. There are many nuances and difficulties in the procedure of surrogate motherhood. Let's try to figure out all the subtleties so that everyone can make the right decision.

What is surrogate motherhood, what does it mean?

Surrogacy - One of the options for the fight against infertility, when three people take part in the reproductive process - father, mother and woman who endures and give birth to a child - a surrogate mother.

Conception occurs in this way:

• the healthy egg of the mother is fertilized in the test tube with active spermatozoa of the father
• a fertilized egg is placed for three to five days of the development of the embryo into the uterus of Surmama

Important: a child, thus, does not have a connection at a genetic level with a woman who will wear and give birth to him.

Types of surrogate motherhood

Two paths are known to modern medicine:

• partial (genetic or traditional)
• complete (gestational)

The first way Today it is very simple and relatively inexpensive. The sperm of the father is fertilized by the egg directly of the woman who takes out and gives birth to the child.

Important: in this case, genetically the baby will be associated with the woman bearing him.

Many prefer to carry out this option of artificial fertilization in specialized clinics, however, the home application of the procedure, which will be more natural and natural, is possible.

However, not all future lawy mothers will agree to go to this by virtue of their moral beliefs.
The second option - The so -called “fertilization in vitro”, in which the egg of the genetic mother (or donor) is fertilized “in a test tube” with dad sperm and is planted by a surmate with a pre -created favorable environment in her uterus.

Important: in this case, the genetic connection between parents and the surge is completely absent.

This method is carried out only in the clinic and consists of the following stages:

• genetic mother (or mother-donor) passes a number of tests
• after that, several eggs are taken away
• in parallel with mom, the future dad also undergoes an examination
• then the father passes the sperm for the procedure
• in a special laboratory, the egg is fertilized
• there is a direct premises of the embryo in the uterus of Surmama

Surrogate motherhood law

Opinions about the treatment of infertility in this way are different, as well as the laws of countries that support it or prohibiting it.

In Russia Official surrogate motherhood became in 2012 on the basis of the Law "On the basics of protecting the health of citizens of the Russian Federation". Also some articles Family Code and the Law "On Acts of Civil Status" regulate this issue.

Ukraine She also took a step towards couples, which for various reasons to independently conceive, endure and give birth to a child, legalizing surrogate motherhood in 2004, making appropriate changes to "Family code" and other relevant regulatory acts.

Government Belarus also did not lag behind the neighbors in 2012 and made surrogate motherhood official on the basis of adoption Law "On auxiliary Reproductive Technologies".

The leader in surrogate motherhood is considered USA.

However, there are countries opposing surrogate motherhood. So, for example, in Australia It is permitted only as assistance on public principles, although current expenses for the provision of surge with the necessary housing, food, and clothing can cover future parents.

How much is paid for surrogate motherhood: the cost of the service

The countries of the former Union, unlike Europe and the USA, are trying to make surrogate motherhood more accessible to ordinary people.

So, if the barren couple decided to use such a service, it is very difficult to name the exact amount, because there are various subjective factors, but there are also completely fixed costs:

1. Directly a medical procedure, including examinations and tests of all participants in the process and fertilization itself will cost from 5 to 15 thousand dollars
2. Monthly Surmama content-300-400 dollars
3. Gratitude after the birth of the baby - from 10 to 25 thousand, although this figure can vary strongly in one or the other side

However, the wishes of both future women in labor and biological parents can be added to these main positions.

Important: there are options one -time compensation For the surviving egg. Others, on the contrary, stipulate compensation options, if repeated decoration ends unsuccessfully.

Someone wants to take Surmam to the environmentally friendly city during pregnancy. The main thing is to fix everything legally through the contract.

Surrogate motherhood pros and cons of

Of course, every normal married couple wants to have a baby, but not everyone succeeds: either a man has spermatozoa, a woman has some problems with reproductive organs, then just a banal incompatibility.

Recent scientific studies even talk about the presence of psychological barriers and bad moments in the birth history.

Nevertheless, I want a baby, and a variant of surrogate motherhood attracts many couples. However, there are pros and cons of this choice.

Negative side It comes down to such moments:

• possible psychological and moral trauma of Surmama after parting with the baby, whom she felt in herself for 40 weeks
• as an option for consumer operation of a woman
• children become goods, and motherhood - work under the contract

But these arguments, in our opinion, are “attracted by the ears” of feminists and certain social groups that make money on various protests.

Positive The following points can be called:

• a woman who decided to voluntarily help a desperate family receives moral satisfaction from her choice and material reward
• this is the only way to a family where a woman cannot stand a child, get a genetically native baby
• you can endure and give birth to a baby without risk to the health of a genetic mother

It is important for yourself to decide and clearly go to the intended goal.

Surrogate motherhood harm to health

Any motherhood - surrogate or natural, undermines a woman’s health, if you do not adhere to certain rules:

• it should be a break of a few years Between pregnancies
• after childbirth, the Surmame is paid compensation, some of which it must be spent on restoring your body
• regularly (at least twice a year) examined by a gynecologist and cardiologist
• do not try to "rejuvenate" the body at the expense of childbirth after 45 years - no benefit, and there are a lot of health problems
• during pregnancy, you need to love the baby wearing under the heart wisely - the baby should be good and comfortable, but after birth it will be no less cool with his parents

Adhere to these wishes and you will succeed!

How to draw up a surrogate motherhood agreement?

So that there are no questions between Surmam and customers either during pregnancy, or even more so after childbirth, it is necessary to draw up a legally correct agreement. He will fully reflect the rights and obligations of both parties.

It must clearly be indicated in it:

• the subject of the contract
• conditions for bearing a baby
• the place of residence of the Surmama and her family
• expenses
• medical accompaniment
• a strict calculation procedure is determined
• rules and obligations and surmans
• responsibilities of biological parents
• responsibility for non -compliance with the contract
• confidentiality
• the procedure for transferring the newborn

Important: in addition to the contract, the surrogate mommy should write and assure the notary application-settlement The fact that his genetic parents be recorded in the birth certificate of the child.

If we conduct a surrogate motherhood officially procedure, then all organizations have samples of such standard contracts that are enough to adjust and make it as comfortable for both parties.

Contraindications to surrogate motherhood

Not every woman can become a surrogate mother, since there are certain contraindications for this “work”:

• the pathology of the uterine cavity, both congenital and acquired, does not make it possible to implant an embryo or to introduce and give birth to a baby
• increased ovaries associated with tumors in them
• benign tumors of the uterine cavity requiring a surgical solution to the problem
• inflammatory diseases of the body
• oncology of any localization
• mental disorders
• lack of their own children
• pathologies and diseases of their own children

Important: for biological parents there is also their “taboo” in the form of mental and behavioral ill health.

Surrogate motherhood: age

The readiness of the woman’s body to perform reproductive functions is individual.

However, medical statistics draws attention to the fact that the best option is the age of 20 to 35 years, and the shift in one direction or another may be accompanied by pathology in the development of the fetus.

How surrogate motherhood occurs: process

The process includes several stages:

1. On the first or preparatory, candidates for the role of surmans are considered, which must meet certain requirements: age (from 20 to 35 years), the presence of their healthy baby, mental and physical health
2. When the choice is made, the woman undergoes an examination and passes various, defined by the procedure, tests
3. After the successful completion of the laboratory
   cycle, synchronization of menstruation in surrogate and biological mothers is carried out, in the process of which it is possible to introduce hormonal drugs
4. Next is the standard process of IVF and the transplantation of embryos into the cavity of the uterine of the Surmama. They are planted on the 17th day of the menstrual cycle
5. After two weeks, urine analysis will say a successful procedure, and after three weeks you can do an ultrasound for pregnancy

Surrogate motherhood: how fertilization occurs

For fertilization to occur, first you need to get high -quality working material from future parents:

• For this, both undergo examination and pass all the necessary tests
• Further, the genetic mother, to increase the chances of pregnancy, by the introduction of hormones, stimulates the maturation of not one, but several eggs
• When this happened, with the help of a puncture, specialists make an egg. 8 hours before this procedure, you need to refrain from eating and, if possible, water
• While the expectant mother breaks up with eggs, dad, by masturbation, mines sperm

Further, in the laboratory conditions, the process of fertilization itself takes place directly:

• For this, the resulting material is combined and placed in a special incubator
• If fertilization has passed successfully, which can be determined after 12-18 hours, the eggs are placed on a certain environment where the embryo begins to develop
• Repeated assessment occurs in a day
• If nothing happened, a repeat is done in the next menstrual cycle

Do I need imitation of pregnancy with surrogate motherhood?

This problem faces many working mothers-customers, because society is not always ready to accept surrogate motherhood.

Therefore, imitating or not imitating pregnancy is a very subjective solution.

Those women who decide to imitate pregnancy while the child hatches Surmam can use a special overhead belly.

Important: it is impossible to officially get sick leave, since it will receive a surrogate mother, but after her birth, a child’s childcare allowance can be issued after her birth.

A trap of surrogate motherhood

Surrogate motherhood, depending on the views on it, balances between real help to people who are not able to have children and market relations.

The whole world shouts that it is impossible to sell children, and in the process of surrogate motherhood this is precisely what happens, also legalized.

Buyers (biological parents) pay the seller (surmama) for the received “high -quality product” - the born baby.

Important: if a woman who bores a child received money after establishing the fact of pregnancy, then everything would fall into place - not only the result, but also the process itself.

However, receiving money after childbirth suggests that the result is still paid-a healthy baby, an object of sale.

And if, God forbid, a child with some pathology will be born, buyers can abandon him, as if defective goods, and even, of course, do not pay money-that’s a trap of surrogate motherhood “in all its glory”.

Important: in order to avoid such situations, everything needs to be stipulated in the contract, even the possibility of the birth of a not quite healthy child.

Morally moral and ethical problems of surrogate motherhood

Despite the fact that surrogate motherhood is enshrined in law, opponents speak of some moral and ethical problems of this process:

1. Mental and physical health of both a surrogate mother and her child can be at risk. At the physical level, this is argued by the fact that a foreign body falls into the body of the surge, which he tries if he does not push out, then at least weaken as much as possible (as if neutralize the threat). From a psychological point of view - at the time the baby is transmitted to the “real” parents, there is a biological breakdown of the connection of the mother and child, and this negatively affects the psyche of both
2. In some cases, if the nearest relative becomes a surge, there is a violation of circulatory connections. So there were several precedents when the surrogate mother was the grandmother of her child born.
3. The difficulty of preserving the mystery of the origin of the baby
4. The psyche of not only surmans and the baby, but also genetic parents can suffer, since they will be afraid that the woman who had taken them out may not fulfill the contract and take the child
5. The setting of the process of surrogate motherhood on a commercial flow, where a child will be an object of purchase and sale

Important: but if you look at surrogate motherhood, as a practically the only option for a barren pair to have a native child, then there will be no place for all these “troubles”, and each participant in the process will win.

Church about surrogate motherhood: is it a sin or not?

Of course, according to church canons, surrogate motherhood is a sin, since what God has given is right.

Detection, undoubtedly, is the desired result of a man and woman illuminated by God, but this is not his only goal. And if the marriage is childless, then you can’t trample God's laws and try to get a child in this way.

However, despite such disapproval, the church does not refuse to baptize surrogate children, because, as A. Twardovsky wrote “the son for the father does not answer”, that is, children, according to the church, are not responsible for the sins of their parents.

The main thing is that the sinkers must repent and repent, then the sacrament of baptism will be committed.

In which countries are surrogate motherhood prohibited?

Not the entire world community supports surrogate motherhood.

There are a number of countries where the “taboo” is imposed on this procedure: Germany, Italy, Sweden, Estonia, France, Norway.

The ban is argued by moral, ethical and legal aspects.

In some countries ( Finland, Spain, Greece) There is no direct ban, but there is no legal support.

So, even if the contract is concluded, he will not have any legal force.

AT UK, the Netherlands, Canada and Holland Surrogate motherhood on a non -paying basis is allowed.

In some post -Soviet countries - Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstanas well as many uS States Surrogate motherhood is legalized and flourished.

Surrogate motherhood: parents' reviews

Tatyana, 29 years old: “In the first birth, I had a rupture of the uterus. It had to be removed. When our son was 6 years old, my husband and I really wanted another child. Surrogate motherhood was the only chance for our family to find a second happiness. I can’t say that this decision was easily given to us, but still, we went to it and do not regret it. Now our Maxima has a younger sister Mashenka, very similar to him. We still maintain good friendly relations with our Surmam. ”

Olga, 42 years old: “The idea to give birth to a child with the help of a surrogate mother became some kind of obsession for me. I really wanted children, but, unfortunately, for a number of reasons, I could not give birth to them myself. We quickly found a woman who agreed to endure and give us a baby. The procedure was successful, now our "mommy" at 8 months. We are looking forward to the birth of our little prince. "

Lesya, 37 years old: “It so happened that my best friend was a surrogate mother of my two sons. In my youth, I had an accident, as a result of which I remained disabled. But, despite the physical disabilities, I really wanted to. My husband and I are quite wealthy people, so the question in the material reward of the Surrmama did not matter to us much. The most important thing was to find a healthy woman whom we could entrust this responsible business - the bearing of our child. To our great surprise and joy, my friend suggested becoming such a woman. I trusted her 100%, so we had no worries that something would go wrong. We knew with her that in any case we would support each other. All procedures, and all months of our two pregnancies, passed great. The first pregnancy ended with a natural birth of 39 weeks, the second - Kesarev at 38 weeks, since his son occupied an incorrect position in the abdomen. As a result, my husband and I became the parents of two beautiful boys who are very loved and proud of. By the way, our Surmama also became the godfather of sons. "
