What Happens During the Surrogacy Process?
You may be wondering what aspects of the surrogacy process you will need a surrogacy team to guide you through. Things can get a little complicated when it comes to surrogacy, so having a surrogacy team to guide you is the best way to navigate any complications with minimal confusion. One of the major steps in your surrogacy journey will be to draft and sign a surrogacy agreement with the intended parents. In this agreement, your compensation as a surrogate mother will be determined, and details surrounding the surrender of the child at the end of the process, specific requirements that the intended parents may want you to fulfill, and other important details are included in this agreement. Having a surrogacy team to help you figure out what is important to include as a surrogate mother will ensure minimal conflict or confusion between you and the intended parents in the future. Your surrogacy team will also be able to help explain the In Vitro Fertilization process and support you throughout your pregnancy.
What is In Vitro Fertilization?
You will undergo a process known as In Vitro Fertilization through gestational surrogacy. Through this method of impregnation, the intended parents will visit a fertility clinic where their sperm and egg will be collected. The clinic will fertilize the egg with the sperm, and the consequent embryo will be implanted into your uterus, and you will hopefully become pregnant. Oftentimes, many embryos are transferred into the surrogate mother’s uterus to ensure that at least one of them will cause pregnancy, but this also means that there is a higher chance of giving birth to more than one child at a time. Although this might deter some women, it is often not a huge concern for surrogate mothers because the ability to provide a family for a couple that is unable to start one on their own is such an amazing opportunity, and there is also compensation provided in most cases.
How Do I Begin the Surrogacy Process?
If you are interested in pursuing Colorado surrogacy, you will have to first determine if you are physically able to become a surrogate mother. On Adoption and Surrogacy Choices of Colorado’s website, there is a list of requirements that surrogate mothers must fulfill in order to apply to be a surrogate mother. If you fulfill those qualifications, you will be connected with the agency and undergo further assessment. If you pass the medical and psychological exam that the agency will conduct, you will be able to move forward with the surrogate process. If this is something that you are interested in doing, please contact Adoption and Surrogacy Choices of Colorado, where our staff is ready and willing to answer your questions and help guide you through the surrogacy process.
