A woman wanted to have a relationship with the child she gave birth to. And the men's response "was to insist that their son had no mother — only a surrogate — and that the child’s identity was as part of a motherless family." But the kid was created from her egg. She is the kids biological mother.

5 June, 2024 By Julie Bindel

This article is taken from the June 2024 issue of The Critic. To get the full magazine why not subscribe? Right now we’re offering five issues for just £10.

There is a contradiction at the heart of the international surrogacy industry. Its participants pretend that surrogates’ feelings for the children in their wombs do not exist, whilst simultaneously trying to prevent them acting on those feelings. Many commissioning parents broker the babies in jurisdictions that allow restrictions on surrogates’ rights.

In the UK, this contradiction was recently laid bare in a Family Court case (citation number: [2024] EWFC 20). A gay male couple were engaged in a long-running legal battle with their son’s surrogate. Rather than vanish after handing over the child, she wanted a role in the boy’s life. The men’s response was to insist that their son had no mother — only a surrogate — and that the child’s identity was as part of a motherless family. There was “no vacancy” for her to occupy in his life, they claimed, and it was prejudicial to gay families to suggest otherwise.

At the start of this story, G, the surrogate in question, was a 36-year-old single mother of a teenager and naive about what surrogacy entailed. The commissioning parents were friends of her sister but not people she knew. Aged 43 and 36 and married, they were members of an agency, Surrogacy UK, and very familiar with its protocols — which included a “getting to know you” period — and support. However rather than go through the agency, the men chose to fast-track the process with an independent arrangement with G.

Following a failed transfer of a donor egg, the trio decided to use G’s own egg. The men agreed that G would have contact with the child, but none of the parties properly considered the implications. The relationship between the three deteriorated during G’s pregnancy. G gave birth to a boy in September 2020.

After the birth, G would not initially consent to the parental order, under which she would lose parental responsibility as she feared being cut out of the child’s life. But during a lengthy online hearing in which she was alone and unrepresented — unlike the men — G was pressured by the judge to agree to the parental order along with a contact agreement called a child arrangements order.

After obtaining parental responsibility, the men quickly reneged on the agreement. When G turned up at their house for a pre-arranged visit they threatened to call the police. She recorded the meeting. The Family Court judge later declared of the recording “what was said has rightly been described as ‘horrendous’”. The men told G she was “harbouring a desire to have an inappropriate relationship” by wanting the boy to recognise her as his mother and accused her of having “rejected the role of surrogate”.

In January 2022, the men refused to allow G to visit her son and applied for the contact agreement to be changed. G then made her own application for the parental order to be overturned. She won her case in November the same year. This restored her parental responsibility for the child and removed it from the man who was not the child’s biological father.

The men redoubled their efforts to remove G as a parent, this time applying for an adoption order. During court proceedings, they claimed their son’s identity was that of a child of same-sex parents being raised within the LGBT community and that he belonged to a “motherless family”.

As a lesbian who came out in the 1970s, I’m only too aware of the history of demonisation of lesbian and gay couples. Parents who conceived children in heterosexual relationships were often denied custody and contact if they came out as gay after separation. Foster and adoption agencies were openly prejudiced. But times have changed, and same-sex parents are now a common sight at the school gates in some parts of the UK.

Claims that the children of same-sex parents are disadvantaged in some way have largely been defeated with an expanding body of evidence (e.g. Zhang Y, Huang H, Wang M, et al., BMJ Global Health, 2023) showing their outcomes are similar to those of heterosexual families. Gay rights are robustly supported in most public institutions and private organisations. For a gay couple to call on historic prejudice to justify excluding a mother from a child’s life is unforgivable.

In any case, the men’s argument was fatally — and obviously — undermined by its own logic. If the boy did not have a mother, there would be no need for the court case.

As the jointly-instructed clinical psychologist in the case recognised, the driver of the men’s case was the “elephant in the room” — G’s existence as the child’s legal and biological mother — and the men’s fear of her maternal bond with her son. The men had difficulties “accepting the reality” of the child’s conception, the psychologist found, and considering what sense the boy might make of the situation as he grew up.

“They have strongly held to the surrogacy agreement and the narrative of [G] being a ‘surrogate’ because in that narrative there are no, or hardly any feelings from the surrogate for the baby,” the psychologist wrote. He described the men as attempting an “erasure of the mother”, which he said was not in the child’s best interest as it did not reflect reality.

Refusing an adoption order that would likely have resulted in cutting G from her son’s life, the court ruled that G should have direct and unsupervised contact with him. The judge criticised the men for blaming G for everything that went wrong. The judgment also raised questions about how an adoption order would be explained to the boy, given it would have been made without his mother’s consent.

To some extent, history repeated itself in this case. There are multiple examples of legal battles involving lesbian couples who created a child with the help of a sperm donor who later inconveniently insisted on contact or on playing the role of father.

As the Court of Appeal ruled in one such case in 2012: “What the adults look forward to before undertaking the hazards of conception, birth and the first experience of parenting may prove to be illusion or fantasy. [The couple] may have had the desire to create a two-parent lesbian nuclear family completely intact and free from fracture resulting from contact with the third parent. But such desires may be essentially selfish and may later insufficiently weigh the welfare and developing rights of the child that they have created.”

What’s concerning in this case is the language used — the “erasure” of the mother

Contested surrogacy cases are little different from these wrangles and, indeed, from any other contact disputes. What’s concerning about G’s case, and what makes it different from the case of the lesbian parents above, is the language used. The psychologist explicitly referred to the men’s attempted “erasure” of the mother. They simply refused to acknowledge G’s existence in any of the forms in which she fulfilled a maternal capacity: legal, genetic and as the person who gave birth. They were supported in this illusion by the professionals who weighed in on their behalf.

In the space of a few years the term “motherless” has moved from an emotive description of absence to a positive identity argued for in court. This shift is entirely consistent with the narrative that surrogacy participants feed to the public.

When celebrity couples introduce their surrogate children on social media, the women who gave birth to them are rarely mentioned. The new babies are “welcomed” as if they have been sent by special delivery. That is in line with the attitude of the international surrogacy industry, which reduces the role of the birth mother to that of a “carrier” or rented womb.

For commissioning parents, it must be very easy to regard the woman who bore their child for nine months as a mere service provider, someone to be gratefully forgotten as soon as the final instalment is paid and the product handed over.

Meanwhile, parts of the NHS are determined to de-gender childbirth, routinely referring to “birthing parents” rather than mothers. As an example (there are multiple) the Royal United Hospital Bath’s “information for families” on labour induction refers to dads, but there is no mention of mothers — only birthing parents.

Feminists have long campaigned for gender-neutral language to reflect roles that are indeed, or can be, gender-neutral. But the uncoupling of sex from the necessarily female processes of pregnancy and childbirth is a step towards a dystopian future. In 2015 Victoria Smith wrote, “Gender-neutral language around reproduction creates the illusion of dismantling a hierarchy — when what you really end up doing is ignoring it.” I would go further. Gender-neutral language around reproduction — just like any language that obscures reality — reinforces and helps establish hierarchies of oppression.

To the men, G was simply a surrogate womb to a motherless child. But to G and to Z, she was his mother. As the psychologist said, “‘Motherlessness’ does not exist. The child was born from two people, biologically, and from three people, psychologically … The mother certainly played a part, biologically and psychologically, in the conception of the child.”

The case — unremarked and unnoticed by the media — will do nothing to change popular opinion of surrogacy. It is likely to encourage intending parents to explore dubious overseas jurisdictions, where surrogates have fewer rights. The surrogacy profiteers will continue to cheerlead wealthy couples in their exploitation of impoverished and naive women.

As for the word “motherless”: in time it may lose its negative connotations and become solidified as an identity. Will it become a badge that straight children can use to signal their connection to LGBTQ+ community? Or an oppression card that can be deployed by the children of wealthy men to explain bad behaviour towards women? Either way, Disney and Dickens are going to need a lot of rewriting.

BRF Reading - 15th of February, 2024

This is speculation only

Cards drawn on the 15th of February, 2024

Question: What is the best way for the BRF to deal with Harry and Meghan?

Interpretation: Tell the truth.

Note: I don't know if this is the universe or the collective speaking through the cards, but the message is something that we having been saying for a very long time

Card One: The Nine of Cups.

This is the card of emotional contentment, wishes coming true, satisfaction, success and recognition. No doubt marrying into the BRF brought Meghan all those things. The picture on the card is of the reunion of Eros and Psyche, a celebration of their togetherness before their marriage on Mount Olympus.

The energy of this card is to look into the engagement of Harry and Meghan. Look at Meghan's life before she met Harry, look at how she positioned herself during her relationship with Harry, and look at why the engagement was allowed and announced. There are clues hiding there in plain sight that we don't know about, but the BRF does. The energy of the card is to take another look at everything and examine what happened that led to the couple being engaged.

The clarifier for this card is the Page of Pentacles in reverse. Pages are children, and the Page of Pentacles is an earth sign child, like Archie. It is also my card for the UK. The energy of children is coming through here. Did Meghan say she was pregnant? What happened to that pregnancy? What was the proof? What do the people in her past say about her becoming pregnant? Is there anything in her past the suggests this is impossible? The Page of Pentacles is in reverse, so this is the negation of a child - the child never happened or the child is not hers.

The other energy relates to the UK and the status/money meaning of Pentacles. When Meghan married Harry, both of them gained status and money because of the marriage. The Page of Pentacles in reverse says to strip both Harry and Meghan of that status. Remove the titles. If they are still receiving money from their father, cut off that money. Return both of them to the position and finances that they held before the wedding.

Card Two: The Three of Pentacles in reverse.

The Three of Pentacles is about teamwork, people working together to achieve a goal. In the reverse, there is no teamwork, the person is not a team player, if there is a team it is divided and not cohesive or loyal. The energy of this card is of investigating the 'team' around Meghan - her friends, her mother, her PR agency/s. What can they tell you? What can you uncover from their behaviour and stories? The suit is Pentacles, so money is important - follow the money trail. Where does it go? To whom does it go? Who can be paid to talk about what they know about Meghan's past actions?

The clarifiers here are the Wheel of Fortune and the Ten of Swords. There were people who helped Meghan on her way up that she has now discarded, and they are willing to betray her in return. Find them talk to them, and see what they have to say about her actions and motivations.

Given the underlying energy, this could also be a surrogacy card (three to make a baby - mother, father, and surrogate - pentacles is about the body and material things, such as making a baby). If so, then the energy from the cards is the same - investigate and talk to those who were involved. They are ready to talk now, whereas before they may have held their tongue.

Card Three: The Two of Swords in reverse.

This card has the meaning of not making a decision, having a decision made for you, not being able to decide, the lesser of two evils, and the truth being revealed. The last meaning is not one that I often find with this card, but today it is the one that has the energy. The cards are saying to reveal the truth. There is no right way out of this, You are at a stalemate, and there is no solution that will please everyone. The card acknowledges that both outcomes will be less than ideal, but the push of the energy is to revealing the truth, not covering it up. As the saying goes, speak the truth and shame the devil.

The clarifier for this card is the Seven of Swords, the thief card, the card of wrongdoing. There has been deception and trickery going on. We all know this. It is time to come clean and reveal what lies and deceptions were told. Let the Harkles face the full consequences of their actions.

Underlying Energy: The Empress.

This card is appearing in its meaning of the mother. The energy is of pregnancy and children or pregnancy and a child. This energy is underlying all the cards above - the engagement, the rumoured surrogacy, and the trickery that has resulted in choosing between two bad outcomes. They are all connected by the idea of pregnancy and being a mother.

The clarifier for this card is The Tower. Knowing the truth about the children will create a Tower moment that will successfully stop the Harkles's current behaviour and render them unable to damage the institution of the BRF.

Conclusion.

The cards say that the best way to deal with the Harkles is to make a decision that has no right answer and/or has two equally bad outcomes, and to tell the truth. Gather information of what Harry and Meghan have done, especially in regards to the pregnancies and children, and release it to the world. Look into Meghan's past life, look at why the engagement was allowed, look into the team that supported her and talk to them. They may have held their tongues in the past, but now they are ready to talk.

Once you have gathered all the information you need, bite the bullet and release the truth. Reveal all the deceptions that were practised and the lies that were told. This may make you look stupid or foolish, and you may have been complicit in some of the deceptions by your past silence (the choice between two bad outcomes). Release them anyway. Then strip the pair of the titles and status that they gained upon their marriage (I say strip them of everything, but the cards refer to the engagement and subsequent wedding). This will be a Tower moment for the Harkles were what is left of their reputation and credibility crumbles to dust around them, and they will not be able to rebuild it. They will be rendered toothless when it comes to damaging the BRF.

Anonymous surrogate mother

I was an altruistic surrogate a few years ago and was abandoned by the intended parents (IPs). We were really close before and I allowed them to get close to my children. My UK surrogacy agency instilled in me that I had to be close friends with the IPs to reduce the risk of the arrangement breaking down. I regret this now, I only hope my children aren’t feeling too much of a loss from being used by the IPs.

Anonymous midwife

During my 13-year career as a midwife I witnessed many negative consequences of surrogacy for women.

The first time I encountered a surrogate mother was when I was caring for her when she was unwell in the high dependency unit. She had been commissioned by two gay men to carry a baby for them. It was her egg. There was a vast age gap between the two men and one of them died during the pregnancy. The younger one no longer wanted the baby. This young mother was then left to bring up the baby by herself. She was vulnerable, poor, and had previously been a victim of domestic abuse.

I have also been involved in the care of a young woman who was carrying a baby for a heterosexual couple who divorced. It was their egg and sperm. They no longer wanted the child. She was bullied into a termination at 22 weeks gestation.

Another horrifying story was of a mother of three children in her 30s who discovered she had a terminal condition and had to terminate the pregnancy at 20 weeks. She later died leaving three children. The surrogacy did not cause the condition but it hastened her death.

There are many other stories of trauma which I cannot share due to them being identifiable.

In my experience it is only poor and vulnerable women who choose to become surrogates. Wealthy, educated women never choose to become surrogates. If it’s only poor women, how can it truly be a choice? It is exploitation.

In the UK we are not meant to have commercial surrogacy but it is evident that we do. Women are given vast sums of money as “expenses”. When they are using their own eggs, it can only be described as human trafficking.

I have also cared for women after “successful” surrogacies. These women feel immense loss and sadness after giving birth and handing over the child. Even if it’s not their genetics the mother-foetal dyad is still powerful. Women are not microwaves. We tell pregnant women to bond with their babies in utero and to talk to them to help brain development. The babies bond with the mother as they grow. Then they are ripped away at birth. Some never see them again after the first day. It is barbaric.

Share your story

We believe that there are many women who are suffering in silence after having an unhappy, damaging or traumatic experience of ‘donating’ their eggs or being a ‘surrogate’ mother for the benefit of others. If this has happened to you and you’d like to share your story anonymously, please see our Share your surrogacy or eggsploitation story page.

Over viewing gay surrogacy in Ukraine, UK and Ireland- Three of the most popular European surrogacy destinations!

Surrogacy offers a pathway to parenthood for numerous people and couples, including those within the LGBTQ+ community. That said, for gay couples, surrogacy is frequently one of the few alternatives to have a biological association to their child. However, the legality and availability of surrogacy for same sex couples can shift enormously from nation to nation. In this blog, we’ll investigate the state of gay surrogacy in Ukraine, the UK, and Ireland, and how the laws and demeanors in these nations affect those seeking parenthood.

Same sex surrogacy in Ukraine

Surrogacy is legal in Ukraine, and the nation has ended up a well known universal destination for those looking for surrogacy services due to its moderately lower costs and legal system that favors the intended parents. However, Ukrainian law as of now only recognizes hetero couples for surrogacy, clearly barring same-sex couples and single people.

In spite of its legal limitations, there have been cases where gay couples have explored the Ukrainian surrogacy scene through certain alternatives, such as one partner continuing as a single person, in spite of the fact that typically full with legal risks and instabilities. For example, Alex and Michael, a gay couple from Spain, planned to have a child via Same sex surrogacy in Ukraine.

Same sex surrogacy in UK

Within the UK, surrogacy is legal but cannot be commercial; it has got to be altruistic. Moreover, the surrogate mother is considered the legal mother of the child at birth, and the intended parents must get a parental order from the court after the child’s birth to become the legal parents. Also, this process can take a few months and is fundamental whether the intended parents are either heterosexual or single parents.

The UK has seen a dynamic state of mind towards LGBTQ+ rights, and typically reflected in its approach to same sex surrogacy in UK. Also, gay couples can become parents through surrogacy, and the law encourages this process, in spite of the fact that it requires exploring the legal framework post-birth. Besides, there have been inspiring stories developing from the UK, like that of James and Oliver, who met their surrogate through a surrogacy agency. They built a close relationship with her amid the pregnancy, and after the birth of their girl, they were able to get a parental order that recognized them as the legal parents.

Same sex surrogacy in Ireland

Ireland’s surrogacy laws are as of now in a state of flux and need clarity. That said, there’s no laws related to same sex surrogacy in Ireland, putting the practice in a legal turmoil. As of now, Assisted Human Reproduction (AHR) bill, which includes arrangements for domestic altruistic surrogacy, was still under consideration. The bill, on the off chance that sanctioned, would build up a administrative system for surrogacy but has confronted opposition for not tending to wants of all families, especially within the setting of international surrogacy.

For gay couples in Ireland looking to surrogacy, the legal uncertainties mean that many turn to surrogacy overseas. John and Seán, an Irish gay couple, chose to go to the USA for surrogacy. Besides, they experienced a more organized and streamlined process within the US, and in spite of the fact that costly, it allowed them to both be recognized as the legal guardians of their child from birth. Well, this is something that is literally impossible in their country.

Real-time Examples!

Real-time cases frequently come from the stories shared within the news or in community groups. While particular cases are not available for point by point study, news reports from Ukraine prior to the conflict with Russia highlighted the troubles confronted by international couples. Moreover, this included gay couples, who were trying to navigate the complexities of bringing their surrogate-born children home.

Within the UK, there are a few agencies that share success stories of gay surrogacy. For example, stories like those of James and Oliver serve as a guide of hope for other gay couples, showing that in spite of the legal circles, becoming parents through surrogacy may be a practical alternative.

In Ireland, real-time illustrations are regularly stories of couples who go overseas for surrogacy. Besides, media scope has brought consideration to the emotional and financial strain on Irish couples, like John and Seán, who must look for international surrogacy due to the need of a clear legal system at home.

Final words

For gay couples, surrogacy is more than a mere medical strategy; it may be a complex journey that’s profoundly affected by the legal environment of their nation. That said, Ukraine offers a reasonable and legally clear alternative for surrogacy but avoids gay couples. On the other side, the UK recognizes the rights of gay couples to become parents through surrogacy. Still, the method can be long and sincerely burdening due to post-birth legal procedures. At the same time, Ireland, with its need of clear surrogacy laws, frequently compels couples to opt for international surrogacy, confronting higher costs and the challenges of exploring international surrogacy laws.

Gay Surrogacy in UK: Why it is more complicated than it looks from outside?

Gay surrogacy, the method by which same-sex couples or single Gay individuals can achieve parenthood, has become progressively common and acknowledged in numerous parts of the world. Just like other parts of the globe, it has gained some big popularity in the UK as well. That said, while surrogacy offers a brilliant for Gay people and couples to seek parenthood, it is significant to approach this journey with caution opportunity and careful thought. In the following parts of this blog, we will talk about why you need to be very careful with gay Surrogacy in UK.

Understanding Gay Surrogacy in UK

Gay surrogacy includes a Gay person or couple who wish to have a child through the assistance of a surrogate mother. Moreover, the surrogate mother carries and gives birth to the child, but she does not have a biological association to the child. In Gay surrogacy, the intended father may donate the sperm for fertilization. On the other side, an egg donor or one of the intended parents( female) may offer the egg, which is then fertilized utilizing in vitro fertilization (IVF). This embryo would then be transferred into the womb of the surrogate mother.

Why you need to be careful during Gay surrogacy?

Legal Complexities

One of the essential reasons for caution in Gay surrogacy within the UK is the complex legal scene encompassing surrogacy practices. Moreover, unlike few other nations where commercial surrogacy is lawful, the UK permits it as only altruistic surrogacy. This implies that the surrogate mother cannot be paid past her medical costs related to the pregnancy. Also, this legal system can lead to vulnerability and potential clashes, making it significant to guarantee that all parties included feel aware about their rights and responsibilities.

On the other side, the legal complexities are still easy in comparison to countries like France or India. As in India, you cannot pursue surrogacy as an international citizen, so talking about gay surrogacy in India is a distant thing.

At the same time, surrogacy is completely banned in France. So, anyone, regardless of their sexual orientation, cannot pursue this practice. Hence, if you are a French citizen looking for gay surrogacy in France, you must opt for another country like the UK.

Consent and Parental Rights

Exploring parental rights can be particularly complicated for Gay surrogacy. That said, within the UK, the woman who gives birth is the legal mother, indeed in case she has no genetic association to the child. Also, this could lead to legal fights over parental rights, particularly in case the surrogate mother chooses she needs to keep the child. Besides, it is fundamental to have legally binding agreements in place that clearly layout the rights and desires of all parties included.

Finding a Surrogate

Finding the most appropriate surrogate mother can be challenging and the process may include detailed screening and legal interviews. That said, surrogate mothers ought to be chosen carefully, and all parties should go for an interactive and fair communication to guarantee a successful surrogacy journey. Besides, working with a trustworthy surrogacy agency can offer assistance to streamline this process.

On the other side, the system is a bit complicated in countries like Ireland where the surrogate mother and her partner stay as the legal parent. So, even if it is gay surrogacy in Ireland, the issue stays intact.

Emotional and Mental considerations

Surrogacy can be stressful and mentally challenging for everyone, including the intended parents, surrogate mother, and the future child. Besides, it's essential to consider the potential emotional stress while looking for the required emotional support. Also, the intended parents must value the emotional well-being of everybody included.

The cost factor

Surrogacy generally includes a list of costs like medical costs, legal expenses, and compensation for the surrogate mother. Moreover, these costs can build up further, and this is where it's important to have a clear financial plan to guarantee that all aspects of the surrogacy journey are taken care of.

Ever -evolving surrogacy laws

Laws and regulations related to gay surrogacy in India, Uk and any other country can change over time. So, what is legally allowed as of now may not be the case within the future. That said, remaining educated and aware about legitimate reforms and looking for legal advice is basic to secure the rights and interests of all parties included.

Final words

Gay surrogacy can come as an amazing and satisfying way for Gay people and couples to seek parenthood. However, it is still a stressful and complicated process that does require some careful planning and decision making. Moreover, the legal complications, emotional challenges, and financial costs make it more important for the intended parents to stay aware and educated all the time.

This is where looking for legitimate direct, working with trustworthy surrogacy agencies, and keeping up open and genuine communication with all parties included are basic steps in guaranteeing a fruitful and successful surrogacy journey. Also, while the path to parenthood through surrogacy may be challenging, the delight of having a child into an adoring and strong family is immense and well worth the effort. Still, caution and right guidance arranging are key to accomplishing this dream while minimizing potential risks and complications.

Allegedly and Pure Speculation from Benjamin Smallbook on Quora Tonight - Its Time We Turned Up The Heat in the Markle Kitchen. Is this plausible? Is our Saint angering British Media to the Brink? by u/daisybeach23

Allegedly and Pure Speculation from Benjamin Smallbook on Quora Tonight - “It’s Time We Turned Up The Heat in the Markle Kitchen.” Is this plausible? Is our Saint angering British Media to the Brink? From Quora:Journalists at one of the UK’s top news agencies are getting together with colleagues at France’s biggest agency, Agence France Press, to put pressure on Markle and her husband, to come clean about the kids that nobody can mention. I believe, but have no firm evidence of this, other than whispers, that the Anglo-French media operation is being supported by the Palace.Clearly the Palace feels that enough is enough. Maybe they think that now is the time to regroup, and introduce Eugenia and Beatrice as A-lister working Royals. The recent health scares in the Family seems to have focused the minds of the ‘men in grey suits’ at the Palace.The awful news is soon to be released that the Princess of Wales has been suffering from an undisclosed form of cancer. The new direction, with a new start, doesn’t need any distraction from the duplicitous actress and her husband.Press-releases have flown from Montecito, and they have angered those who have been gagged.One press-release told, “The Duchess of Sussex has instructed Jake Rosenberg, a New York-based photographer, to take pictures of Prince Archie and his sister Princess Lilibet. The photoshoot will coincide with the launch of the Duchess’s lifestyle and cookery brand, American Riviera Orchard.”But what angered people was the sentence, “The photos of the children will be for our own family, and not distributed for general use.”What game is this woman playing? And what stupidity is the public displaying by going along with this idiotic charade?No births have ever been officially medically verified, and her pregnancies were suspect, to say the least. Remember, Markle and her dipsy husband lied to us about the birth of the ‘Archie Doll’. Their announcement stated The Actress was in labour, when in reality, the ‘child’ had already been born! And when Harry was filmed holding a baby which was supposedly only two hours old, he said, “It’s surprising how babies change in the first two weeks.” What the hell was that all about?The late Queen would have been informed by her own security services, long before the immaculate birth took place! It would be naïve to think otherwise. At the same time, the media would have been issued with a gagging order. From that day on, none of the UK national publications mentioned ‘surrogacy, Markle and fake pregnancy’ in the same sentence. In fact, they couldn’t even announce that a gagging order was in place.Even the birth certificates were suspect, as was the non-naming of the Godparents. The paparazzi were out in force, but not one picture emerged of any cars leaving or driving back to Frogmore Cottage. This is one big scam that hopefully will be busted very soon.Rumours as to why the Royal Family is going along with this, are rife. Blackmail and ‘playing the race card’ are top of the list.

Yeah, I know the source is an anti-Choice site. But on this topic I agree with them.

The ethical pitfalls of surrogacy are on stark display in the United Kingdom (UK), where some elderly retirees are now having children via surrogates.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Elderly couples in the UK are increasingly turning to surrogacy outside the country to have children, who may be orphaned before they reach adulthood.

Surrogacy often involves the purchase of an economically disadvantaged woman’s womb (and possibly even her egg) by a wealthy couple or individual who desire to have a child.

Anti-surrogacy groups have called the decision to award parental rights to the elderly couples “unethical” and an “appalling loophole” that allows people to skirt the UK’s “domestic ban on commercial surrogacy practices.”

THE DETAILS:

A husband and wife, both 72, recently won a court battle to become the legal parents of a 14-month-old boy born through surrogacy in California using the husband’s sperm and a donor egg. This is despite an acknowledgement from Mrs. Justice Knowles that the couple will be 82 when the boy begins secondary school and nearly 90 (if they live that long) when he reaches adulthood.

“They have begun parenting at a time in their lives when, despite their current good health, it is foreseeable that their health will decline and that one or both of them will become seriously incapacitated or die before B reaches his majority,” said the Justice.

Yet because there is no one else to care for him, Justice Knowles still gave her permission, and even used the case as a de facto encouragement for others to follow suit, calling it an “important welfare issue” and claiming it “offers some advice for those who may, in future, engage in a foreign or other surrogacy arrangement.”

The couple, whose names have not been revealed, decided to have another child after their son, “A,” died at the age of 27. “Having taken heart from the stories of other grieving parents who found solace in having other children following the death of a child, Mr. and Mrs. K decided to embark on a surrogacy journey in the hope of becoming parents once more,” Knowles said in her judgment, despite saying they are “adamant” that “B” is not an attempt to “replace A” or “manage their grief.”

This couple is not alone. Already, other elderly couples have entered into similar surrogacy arrangements; in just the last year, three such couples in the UK have been granted parental orders for babies born via surrogacy.

What almost certainly helped the first couple’s case is the fact that they are, as Knowles described them, “wealthy.”

But in truth, surrogacy largely involves wealthy couples purchasing the bodies of low-income women to provide them with children.

WHY IT MATTERS:

Women who become surrogates are at higher risk of developing conditions like gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and bleeding complications after birth.

Babies born via IVF are likewise at a higher risk for numerous complications.

Studies have also made it clear that taking babies from their birth mothers, even if they aren’t biologically related, can cause lifelong trauma. While a separation also happens during adoption, the adopted child is not intentionally created to be taken away from his or her birth mother; in a surrogacy arrangement, a child is created specifically with that intent.

If a baby is conceived using the surrogate’s egg, then he is denied his natural mother along with knowledge of his background, heritage, and even familial medical history. Even if he is not biologically related to the surrogate, at birth he is denied access to the woman whom he has known for nine months in the womb, and it is her voice and her heartbeat that he knows. This separation is traumatizing.

THE OTHER SIDE:

Lexi Ellingsworth, co-founder at Stop Surrogacy Now UK, slammed the ruling. “There are no upper age limits for commissioning parents in the UK, or for surrogate mothers, and the ‘parental order pathway’ would continue to allow Britons to go abroad to buy babies,” she said. “This appalling loophole which enables people to get around our domestic ban on commercial surrogacy practices must be closed by the Government immediately.”

Also harshly critical of the ruling was Helen Gibson, founder of Surrogacy Concern.

“We are appalled to see a parental order awarded in this case. This child would have been better off being placed by the local authority into the care of another family, not being left to be raised by people likely to be dead before he reaches the age of majority,” she said.

“Commissioning a child through surrogacy is always unethical and exploitative,” she added, “but to do this at the age of 72, following the death of an adult son, is abhorrent and an abuse of this little boy.”

THE BOTTOM LINE:

The fictional “The Handmaid’s Tale” has become a reality, as abortion activists have warned — but it isn’t because of pro-life laws; it is reflected in surrogacy, an arrangement in which a class of (largely) economically disadvantaged women is paid to gestate babies for other women to raise.

This issue already fails to keep the child’s rights in mind; an additional layer of complications and considerations results when elderly parents choose to create children via surrogacy.

Why Surrogate mother cost in Kenya is lower than other countries?

Surrogacy in Kenya is quite popular among all the intended parents looking for an affordable surrogacy program. While cost is always lower than many other countries like USA and UK, the quality of care is on par with the best in the world. 

On the other side, the surrogate mother cost in Kenya is way lower than other nations and this is that one thing that always comes surprising for many. In the coming parts of this article, we will discuss regarding the key points in the same regard.  While doing that, we will also talk about various elements that come crucial in deciding the surrogacy cost in Kenya. 

1. Humble family backgrounds

Most of the surrogate mother in Kenya comes from humble family backgrounds. Moreover, they will not have huge demands from their role of the surrogate mother in Kenya. Also, they won’t prefer living in surrogate accommodation offered by the surrogacy agency. At the same time, these surrogates would come with a greater character and compassion towards the intended parents. Hence as an intended parent, you can always expect a noble person for your service rather than someone simply looking to earn some money.

2. Financial Components

The cost of living in Kenya is way lower than most of the western nations. This implies that in general costs, including medical care, are for the most part less costly. Also, for surrogate moms, this interprets to lower charges for their services related to surrogacy in Kenya. In nations with higher living costs, surrogate moms regularly charge more to cover their own living costs.

3. Healthcare Costs

On the other hand, the cost to healthcare in Kenya is altogether lower than in numerous Western nations. This incorporates the medical strategies included in surrogacy in Kenya, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and pre-birth care. In nations just like the United States, these strategies can be exceptionally costly, which increments the in general surrogacy cost in Kenya.

3. Lack of legal regulations 

Kenya has a lack of surrogacy related regulations compared to numerous Western nations. In places with strict surrogacy laws, there are extra legal costs. These can incorporate legal expenses for drafting contracts, parental rights agreements, and other procedures. In Kenya, where there are no surrogacy laws, this can potentially lower the surrogate mother cost in Kenya.

4. Bigger supply than the demand 

In Kenya, you will find numerous women willing to become surrogate mothers. This can be due to financial reasons, where they see surrogacy as a way to earn some good money to improve their financial situation. When there's a huge supply of surrogate moms, the cost tends to be lower. In differentiate; in nations where less women are willing to be surrogates, the overall cost is higher due to restricted availability.

5. No Insurance coverage 

In numerous Western nations, insurance companies don't cover the costs of surrogacy. This implies expecting guardians must pay all costs out of their pocket, which can include to the overall cost structure. In Kenya, where surrogacy is less directed and not ordinarily secured by insurances, the costs are more specifically related to the genuine medical and living costs of the surrogate mother in Kenya

6. Financial motivation 

For numerous Kenyan women, becoming a surrogate can be a way to earn money that they won’t get from something else. This financial inspiration can lead to more ladies advertising surrogacy services at competitive costs. In wealthier nations, where citizens have more earning options, women may not be as persuaded by the money related aspect of surrogacy.

7. Rising international demand 

Kenya has ended up a hotspot for international surrogacy. That said, individuals from nations with higher surrogacy costs look to Kenya as a more reasonable choice. Also, this worldwide request has created a situation where surrogacy services are advertised at competitive costs.

8. Overall lower cost of surrogacy services 

The amount charged by experts such as specialists, legal counselors, and agencies included within the surrogacy process are for the most part lower in Kenya. In nations with higher wage levels, experts regularly charge more for their services, which includes to the by and large cost of surrogacy.

9. Healthy and simplified lifestyle 

The lifestyle of surrogate mother in Kenya may be less complex compared to surrogate moms in wealthier nations. This implies their living costs amid pregnancy, which are regularly secured by the expecting parents, are lower.

10. Cultural aspects

In some Kenyan communities, there's a social eagerness to assist others, including through surrogacy in Kenya . This social angle can impact the choice to turn up as a surrogate without requesting higher fees

Final words

Hence, we can say that the lower surrogate mother cost in Kenya is due to a combination of economic, legal, and social variables. Whereas it offers a more reasonable choice for many intended parents trying to find surrogacy services, it's imperative to consider the moral suggestions and guarantee that surrogate mothers are treated decently and with regard. As surrogacy gets to be more global, understanding the distinctive components that impact its cost in different nations is pivotal for those considering this path to parenthood.
