Surrogacy is an arrangement where a woman, known as a surrogate, carries a pregnancy for another individual or couple who will become the intended parents of the child.

Surrogacy can be used by couples or individuals who cannot conceive or carry a child on their own due to a variety of reasons such as infertility, medical conditions, or same-sex relationships.

Yes, single individuals can become parents through surrogacy. In fact, surrogacy can be a great option for individuals who are not in a traditional partnership and still want to have a biological child. 

Distance can be a challenge for international intended parents, but Dreambabylife are equipped to handle international cases. In fact, many surrogate mothers and intended parents come from different countries, and the process can be completed remotely through video conferencing and other online communication tools. However, it is important to do your research and choose a reputable agency that has experience working with international clients, and that can guide you through any legal or logistical issues that may arise.

Surrogacy involves several steps, including finding a surrogate, undergoing medical and psychological evaluations, creating embryos through IVF (in vitro fertilization), transferring the embryos to the surrogate’s uterus, and having the surrogate carry the pregnancy to term.

Surrogacy costs can vary depending on a number of factors, including the cost of medical treatments, legal fees, and surrogate compensation. Intended parents can expect to spend upwards of $100,000 or more for a surrogacy journey.

The surrogacy process can take anywhere from 12 to 24 months or longer, depending on the specific circumstances of each intended parent’s journey.

Reputable surrogacy agencies offer support and guidance throughout the surrogacy process, including helping intended parents find a suitable surrogate, providing legal and medical support, and offering emotional support and counseling to both intended parents and surrogates.

No, it is not possible for the surrogate to keep the baby. The legal agreement between the intended parents and the surrogate will outline that the intended parents will have legal custody of the child immediately after birth. Surrogacy contracts also clearly state that the surrogate has no legal claim to the child. Additionally, the surrogate undergoes medical and psychological screenings to ensure that she is committed to the process and understands the legal and emotional aspects of surrogacy.
