Surrogate Agency
Surrogate agencies play a specific and vital role in helping infertile couples achieve their goal of having a child of their own. For more than 25 years surrogate agencies have been connecting infertile couples with selfless women who want to give of themselves in a unique way to help a childless couple become parents.
The role of a surrogate agency is unique in that it acts as a third party agent to match perspective parents with women who will be surrogates to carry and deliver a child to term for them. But it is not simply a match making service. A lot of work goes into connecting parents with surrogate women and seeing the process through to the end. Here is a brief explanation of the role a surrogate agency plays in helping couples become parents.
Screening Couples
Although the desire to have a child by surrogacy may be strong, not every couple is up for the emotional stresses and financial strain that entering into a surrogacy contract can entail. For this reason, the surrogate agency will screen prospective parents when they first apply for the surrogate program.
Each couple will meet with trained counselors to make sure they are ready for each step of the surrogacy process. A counselor with the surrogate agency will also explain the process of finding a surrogate mother, what the state laws are regarding surrogacy, verify that the couple is financial able to pay the surrogate mother and agency fees, and help facilitate the contract.
Screening Surrogate Mothers
Many women have a strong desire to help a childless couple become parents. However, not everyone is up to the task of carrying a child for nine months, giving birth and then delivering the baby to the new parents.
A surrogate agency will screen each prospective surrogate mother to make sure she is entering into the agreement for the right reasons and is not motivated by financial gain. No one wants a legal battle at the end of a pregnancy. By counseling, screening each surrogate applicant, and making sure they understand the steps they will be taking through the process, both the parents and the surrogate mother come away having been through a rewarding experience when the baby is born.
Facilitate the Process
One of the major roles of the surrogate agency is to facilitate the process during the course of pregnancy. A surrogate agency doesn't just match couples and surrogate mothers and then walk away when the surrogate becomes pregnant. A surrogate agency works with both the couple and the surrogate mother through the entire process, from the beginning and up until the baby is born. They will then put the surrogate mother and couple in touch with lawyers in the state where the surrogate mother resides to help finalize the paperwork.
With the help of a surrogate agency, a smooth and rewarding experience is guaranteed for both the couple and the surrogate mother.
