WHY YOU MUST READ AND UNDERSTAND IN DETAIL ABOUT SURROGACY LAWS?

Pursuing surrogacy in a different country requires some good brainstorming and decision-making. Moreover, you first need to check about the respective surrogacy laws in that particular country and related guidelines. On the other side, we should know that every country comes with their surrogacy laws and regulations. To read full blog in detail, click here....

…

The Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) industry—with its picture catalogues of men and women whose gametes are for sale, its lab-creation of batches of embryos for eugenic sorting, its “gestate-and-release” surrogacy contracts—exists to decouple child-creation from conjugal relation, to segregate gestation from enduring maternal relationship, and to make blood ties irrelevant to legal child custody and identity. The disintegration and fragmentation of persons, parts, and relations—and to subject them all to commercial negotiation—is the entrepreneurial essence and audacity of this technological regime performing a redefinition of human nature. In terms of its biotechnocratic and consumerist framework, the child comes into the world not naturally related to anyone, but only transactionally connected to the persons responsible for summoning him through purchase or technique, or other effort the law may ratify.

When the law permits and coordinates this commerce in persons, it teaches and ensures that the existence of a child is a legal problem for state resolution rather than a preexisting relational truth that obliges state acknowledgment and deference.

Moreover, for the law to discard the truth of the humanly defining relationality of the child to his forebears, in turn deprives law and society of the public premises that make it possible (for instance) to recognize and mourn the pitiable plight of orphans; to know that adoption mitigates a grievous loss; to justly condemn deadbeat dads; and otherwise to recognize a beauty and responsibility of care and support by a father and mother in view of their generative relation to their child. Each of the foregoing concerns is sensible only if the child is, ab initio, in a fixed relation that carries meaning and duties.

But the new legal model on offer proceeds by describing the child instead as a raw datum, ontologically isolated and absolutely individual—without a history and without a certain home—until the happenstance of a managerial adult choice intervenes.

This sort of mechanical-contractual and “gender-neutral” redesign of humanity invites a totalitarian political dynamic. For if the law now refuses to defer and conform uniquely to the authority of the natural family and its filial bonds, and instead redefines marriage and parent (and perhaps even male and female) to assign rigid equivalence in status to persons and relations that are, in fact, profoundly different, then a pristine legal positivism is enacted in which any sphere beyond state construction and command effectively disappears. When the individual is loosed from the natural family and its constraining certainty of relatedness, he (along with his now-contingent relationships) is instead comprehended exclusively within the uncertainties of political solicitude.

Thus, though this family redefinition is carried out under the banner of reproductive and sexual “rights,” instead of accomplishing a limitation on government power it becomes an instrument securing, in principle, the totalism of state jurisdiction. For on this account, parents are deemed provisionally accredited custodians, not naturally vested authorities.

As, on this telling, bodies are mechanisms, with the locus of personal identity present in subjective interiority, the embodied connections of husband and wife, mother and child, father and child are only empirical or mechanical—not meaningful and defining…

this surrogacy case is nuts. bartering the child for a plea deal is crazy. smart but insane

[coochiequeens]

"Like many people who go through surrogacy, Cathy said it was not a choice; it was their only option." While I feel bad for what Cathy went through surrogacy was NOT her only option. Adoption is also possible.

By Kate McDonald

As a bill that seeks to regulate aspects of surrogacy goes before cabinet, Prime Time spoke to families who have used international surrogates.

"My house was silent. When you have a stillborn baby, your house is silent." Cathy Wheatley was seven months pregnant when she had a spontaneous uterine rupture. Her daughter, who she named Helen, died at birth and Cathy found out she could not carry any more pregnancies. "I lost my little girl," Cathy said. Despite their devastating loss, Cathy and her husband Keith Wheatley, from Co Wicklow, were determined to have their family.

Like many people who go through surrogacy, Cathy said it was not a choice; it was their only option."When a doctor mentions surrogacy, your first reaction is, people like me don't do that. You know what I mean? Like, we're just ordinary, everyday people on a farm in Wicklow. "But when they looked into it, they found that there were Irish couples doing it.

"You have to be very careful to make sure that you do all your research so that you know that you're doing the best that you possibly can for your babies, but also for your surrogate, because without your surrogate, you wouldn't have your babies," Cathy said.

The Wheatleys decided to go to a clinic in Ukraine, where they met Ivanna, who would eventually carry and give birth to their twins Ted and Elsie.

"It's the biggest thing in the world to give your babies to somebody to carry and to mind until they can give them back to you," Cathy said.

"I love those kids but I don't love them as my own; those are different feelings. Like it’s my nephew or cousins, not like my son or my daughter," Ivanna said.

Ivanna told Prime Time she became a surrogate mother after the birth of her second son.

"That is something I wanted to do because I love helping people, I love the feeling of being pregnant and I thought why, why don’t I help?" Ivanna said.

Cathy and Keith Wheatley remortgaged their house to front the cost. They paid just under €40,000 to their clinic in Ukraine, of which €14,000 was compensation for their surrogate Ivanna.

"I’m pregnant for nine months. I don’t work. But I have two kids. And my kids have basic needs" Ivanna said.

"They needed food, they needed education, they need dresses – everything that a normal kid needs. If I am surrogate, I am pregnant, I can’t work. It’s not like you are getting a lot of money with that - not like you decide 'I need money’ so I’ll go and get a baby for somebody. [It’s] not like many people think it is."

With legal fees, flights and accommodation, their total spend was €70,000.

"They don’t pay you for being pregnant in Ukraine, they compensate for your time," Ivanna said.

The Wheatleys and Ivanna developed a deep relationship and kept in touch after the twins’ birth.

When Russia invaded Ukraine two years ago, the Wheatleys brought Ivanna and her children to live with them in Ireland.

"If we talk about what happened in my country now, they came and they saved my life and they saved the life of my kids because four years ago I gave life to their kids," Ivanna said.

Brian and Kathy Egan had always planned to have four children. But after having her first son, Harry, Kathy had six miscarriages and she said she knew a larger family wasn't to be.

"It obviously gets harder every time to pick yourself up after it and try again. But we still felt very strongly that we'd be able to do this."

Kathy had no issue getting pregnant but couldn’t sustain the pregnancies. After another two miscarriages, the Egans began to consider surrogacy.

"Because it's new to you, you're second-guessing everything, you really want to make sure you have the right information. It's going to be the right clinic, the right surrogate, and everything is right in every way," Brian said.

Kathy and Brian Egan

The cost of surrogacy in the US and Canada ruled that region out for them, so they began looking elsewhere. They decided to go with a clinic in Lviv, Ukraine.

"Within a month, we were matched with a surrogate who matched my blood type, and we went ahead. But unfortunately, at the 20-week scan, we discovered there was a fatal fetal abnormality within the heart."

That first surrogate pregnancy ended in miscarriage, but the Egans then found a second surrogate.

"We did Zoom or Skype calls with Mariana, our surrogate. Her first response after every checkup was, 'now, can we tell Kathy & Brian?'"

"She's a very strong lady and quite business-like too. She was in no doubt that this was helping us both," Brian said.

Baby Luke arrived in May 2019 while Brian, Kathy and big brother Harry were at home in Kilkenny. They travelled through the night to get to Lviv.

"You cannot get there quick enough. You'd swim there," Kathy said.

"He was tiny. He was four weeks early, but he looked like Harry looked when he was born. So, I knew straight away which one to walk over to."

"You feel like, you know, you've been talking to him for months and praying and hoping to meet him, but it's like no other feeling," Kathy said.

The entire process cost the Egans about €100,000, they said.

Two years later, in June 2021, the family were stunned when Brian was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.

"I didn't know what to say, really. That ‘cancer’ word anyway, you're all over the place," Brian said.

Eleven days after he was diagnosed, Brian’s prostate was removed. The surgery was a success, but his next blood test indicated the cancer had spread.

"At that stage I genuinely felt I didn't have long left. I was looking at Luke, he was two, didn't know if he was going, I was going to see him being three."

Brian received radiotherapy treatment and is still getting hormone treatment, which he says is going well.

However, due to the lack of regulation around the legal status for parents of children born through surrogacy, the Egans were left in a precarious situation.

Current Irish legislation does not cover legal issues that arise in surrogacy. The legal status and rights of all people involved are covered by the laws dealing with non-surrogate births.

This means the surrogate mother, who gives birth to the child, is the child's legal mother under Irish law. In the Egan’s case, Kathy is not Luke’s legal parent, although genetically he is her son as he was born using Kathy’s egg and Brian’s sperm.

"We just realised, if I pass away prematurely, Luke is effectively an orphan of the state." said Brian. "Kathy is just his legal guardian. He would not have a parent, he has different rights to Harry."

Brian and Kathy decided to take a case to the High Court, saying the State had failed to recognise Kathy as Luke’s mother.

The Egans were in court in April but have recently paused their action after hearing assurances that long-promised surrogacy legislation will be brought before the Oireachtas soon.

Under proposed terms of the Health (Assisted Human Reproduction) Bill 2022, parents of children born through surrogacy will be recognised as legal parents, if they meet certain criteria in the jurisdiction in which the surrogacy is intended to take place, and also the criteria to be specified in the Irish legislation.

Senator Mary Seery Kearney and her husband Dave tried to have a baby via IVF.

"We did 13 rounds.... I was pregnant on five occasions...unfortunately, they all resulted in a miscarriage," she said.

"We're a very close couple, but it's a very, very stressful experience. All my life... I wanted to be a mother. I wanted my own child," she said.

Mary initially thought that surrogacy was for well-off people: "My view was Elton John did surrogacy, really rich people did surrogacy. We were ordinary people, already indebted from all of the IVFs we had done."

When she began researching, she initially relied on Google. She said the most impressive website she found was for a clinic in Kyiv.

"We flew over, we gave them €12,000 upfront, and nothing came of that," she said.

Senator Mary Seery Kearney

After that experience in Ukraine, Senator Seery Kearney and her husband found a clinic in India and a surrogate who would carry their child.

"We were so grateful to this woman, and I also felt a huge responsibility for her," Mary said.

They said they sent gifts every couple of weeks and engaged with the surrogate mother all the way through. When the pregnancy reached the 20-week mark, they allowed themselves to hope it would be a success.

"I have to say, right up until the moment we stood outside the theatre, I didn't really believe. I believed that something was going to go wrong. Because you, you carry that trauma into the experience," she said.

But when they were called inside they knew it was real.

"I literally ran, I screamed and ran, 'this is my little girl,' handed into my arms," she said.

Now advocating in the Oireachtas for changes to made to Irish surrogacy legislation, Mary thinks 'goodwill' payments should be made to the surrogate to cover their costs during the pregnancy, but does not agree with commercial surrogacy: in which an agency takes a fee and passes on a portion of it to the surrogate.

"Throughout the process you have doctors paid, clinicians paid, you have the travel agent's paid, you have the lawyers paid.

"The only person that isn't entitled to any goodwill gesture at all is the person who's giving birth, who's carrying the pregnancy and giving birth. And that there is no reason why a goodwill payment could not be made to that surrogate," she says.

Surrogacy Laws in Colombia

Surrogacy Laws in Colombia: Colombia offers a relatively unregulated framework for surrogacy, making it a destination for international intended parents. Surrogacy contracts are not explicitly governed by law, but courts have generally upheld agreements, granting parental rights to the intended parents. However, because of the lack of clear legislation, it’s crucial to work with legal experts to ensure a smooth process.

[surrogacyagencykenya]

Absence of Surrogacy laws: is it good or bad for everyone in the surrogacy program?

Surrogacy has demonstrated itself to be a one-of-a-kind journey for almost everybody. Other than that, it's the most feasible way for people and couples to look for parenthood in case they are dealing with random issues related to natural conception. That said, while various nations have laws with respect to surrogacy, a number of nations have chosen not to have specific laws in this respect. Shockingly, the lack of surrogacy laws can, in some cases, be beneficial for everyone involved. In the coming parts of this article, we are going to take a more profound look into the benefits associated with the absence of surrogacy laws.

Still, before jumping into the benefits, it's imperative to look into a clearer definition of surrogacy. In basic terms, surrogacy can be said to be a technique where a person or couple approaches another woman (the surrogate). Also, the same surrogate carries and gives birth to their child. Other than that, there are two types of surrogacy: traditional surrogacy and gestational surrogacy. Talking about traditional surrogacy, it is where the surrogate utilizes her egg for conception. On the other hand, gestational surrogacy is where an embryo is made from the donor’s gametes or gametes derived from the intended parents.

No Surrogacy Laws: Is it advantageous by any means?

Adaptability and Autonomy: In nations with no specific surrogacy laws, there is frequently more versatility and freedom for the parties involved. Moreover, this implies that the intended parents and the surrogate can arrange and make their own agreements. Other than that, the same agreements may well be customized to their particular needs and expectations. Also, this could lead to a more personalized and pleasant course of action.

Lower Costs: Expecting parents must know that surrogacy can be expensive due to a list of costs, like legal expenses, medical costs, and so on. That said, in regions without surrogacy laws, expecting parents may save huge amounts by dodging certain administration costs.

Talking about undesirable administration costs, it’s generally around the surrogacy paperwork that one has to record within the court. Also, with no surrogacy laws, surrogacy becomes more accessible to a larger group of people. For illustration, there are no surrogacy laws in Cambodia. So, one can seek after surrogacy with reduced costs within the country.

Minimized Bureaucracy: In countries without surrogacy laws, there may be less bureaucracy to deal with. In addition, this will ease up the surrogacy procedure and avoid the possibility of delays. Other than that, it may permit expecting parents and surrogates to move forward in a quick way.

For example, with the lack of surrogacy laws in Kenya, you'll be able to continue with your surrogacy desires more rapidly.

Security: Surrogacy may be a personalized journey for numerous individuals, and a couple of individuals choose to keep it private. Besides, in places with no surrogacy laws, there may be less documentation. Also, this may help secure the privacy of the parties involved.

Bypassing legal complexities: Surrogacy laws in Ukraine or any other nation can vary broadly from one state to another. In addition, this may cause confusion for individuals included in the method. Moreover, in locales without surrogacy laws, there may be fewer clashes over which laws apply. Hence, it makes the strategy smoother for all parties.

Developing conviction and Support: With no surrogacy laws, intended parents and surrogates have the opportunity to form their own agreements. Other than that, it can develop conviction and interest between them. Also, parties are more likely to work together when there is a dynamic interest within the by-and-large strategy.

Downsides of no Surrogacy Laws!

The absence of surrogacy laws in Canada or any other nation may come with a few benefits. Still, it's essential to recognize the challenges and concerns related to this approach:

Need of Legal Security: One of the biggest concerns here is the need for legal affirmation for all parties involved. That said, without clear laws, expecting parents and surrogates may go up against extreme circumstances with regard to their rights. In addition, this may lead to undesirable debates and issues.

Potential Mishandle: The need for surrogacy laws can make situations where abuse is more likely to happen more likely. In addition, surrogates may be powerless against unethical treatment or abuse in cases where there is no legal assurance in place.

Instability around Parental Rights: The need for surrogacy laws can lead to instability regarding parental rights. Moreover, this would be more unmistakable in circumstances where there's no clear legal process for determining parental rights.

Cross-Border Surrogacy Complications: In the case of international surrogacy, where intended parents and surrogates reside in different countries, the lack of surrogacy laws can complicate things. Besides, this is often true since there may be no legal framework to resolve clashes between distinctive legal systems.

Conclusion

The absence of surrogacy laws can have a list of benefits, including lower costs, more flexibility, diminished bureaucracy, and extended security. Still, these benefits come with critical challenges, including the need for legal confirmation, the potential for abuse, uncertainty in parental rights, and complications in cross-border surrogacy.

Also, there are a few individuals who may possess the flexibility that comes with the need for surrogacy laws. Still, it is noteworthy to recognize that legal securities are in place to ensure the rights and well-being of all parties included in surrogacy programs. Moreover, as surrogacy proceeds, finding a balance between flexibility and legal protection is crucial. Also, this is to ensure that the journey is sensible, moral, and secure for everyone involved. Last but not least, the child’s interests ought to be the top priority in any given situation.

Surrogacy Law in India: A Comprehensive Guide

Surrogacy has been a beacon of hope for many couples struggling with infertility. However, with the increasing popularity of assisted reproductive techniques, it has become crucial to have legal guidelines in place to ensure ethical practices. The Surrogacy Law in India has evolved significantly to protect the rights of both intended parents and surrogates while maintaining transparency in the process.

If you are considering surrogacy in India, it is essential to understand the legal framework governing it. This guide will provide a detailed insight into Surrogacy Law in India and how Select IVF can assist you in navigating this journey.

Understanding Surrogacy in India

Surrogacy is a process where a woman (the surrogate) carries and delivers a baby for intended parents. It is a viable option for couples who cannot conceive naturally due to medical conditions such as: ✅ Uterine abnormalities ✅ Multiple miscarriages ✅ Unsuccessful IVF cycles ✅ Health risks that make pregnancy unsafe

India has long been a hub for surrogacy due to its advanced medical infrastructure and relatively lower costs. However, due to concerns about unethical practices and the exploitation of surrogates, the Indian government has implemented strict regulations to govern surrogacy services.

Surrogacy Law in India: Key Provisions

The Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021, introduced by the Government of India, provides clear legal guidelines for surrogacy in the country. Here are the key provisions of the law:

1. Only Altruistic Surrogacy Allowed

Under the new law, only altruistic surrogacy is permitted. This means the surrogate mother cannot be compensated beyond medical expenses and insurance coverage. Commercial surrogacy, where surrogates are paid for carrying a child, is strictly prohibited.

2. Who Can Opt for Surrogacy?

The law specifies that surrogacy is only available to Indian heterosexual married couples who:

Have been legally married for at least five years.

Have a medical certificate proving their infertility.

Are between the ages of 23 to 50 years for the wife and 26 to 55 years for the husband.

Single parents, live-in partners, and foreign nationals are not eligible for surrogacy in India under the current law.

3. Who Can Become a Surrogate?

A woman can only become a surrogate if she:

Is a close relative of the intended parents.

Is married and has at least one biological child.

Is between 25 to 35 years old.

Has not been a surrogate more than once in her lifetime.

Undergoes necessary medical and psychological evaluations.

4. Legal Safeguards for Surrogates and Intended Parents

The law ensures that:

Surrogates cannot be forced into the arrangement.

The child born through surrogacy will be the legal child of the intended parents.

A surrogacy agreement must be signed before the process begins.

Proper medical and insurance coverage must be provided to the surrogate.

5. National and State Surrogacy Boards

The Act mandates the formation of a National Surrogacy Board and State Surrogacy Boards to regulate and oversee surrogacy procedures in India. These bodies ensure that all fertility clinics comply with the legal framework and ethical guidelines.

Why Was the Surrogacy Law in India Implemented?

India was previously a popular destination for commercial surrogacy, attracting couples from around the world. However, the absence of strict regulations led to: 🚫 Exploitation of poor women as surrogates. 🚫 Lack of legal protection for intended parents. 🚫 Ethical concerns about child welfare.

To prevent misuse and safeguard the rights of all involved, the Indian government introduced the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021, ensuring a more controlled and ethical surrogacy process.

Challenges and Criticism of the Surrogacy Law in India

While the Surrogacy Law in India aims to protect all parties, some challenges remain:

⚠️ Restricted Access: Many intended parents, including single individuals and LGBTQ+ couples, are excluded from surrogacy. ⚠️ Altruistic Model Issues: Finding a close relative willing to be a surrogate can be difficult. ⚠️ Concerns Over Medical Costs: Since surrogates are not paid beyond medical expenses, it may discourage many women from participating. ⚠️ Legal Complexity: The requirement for legal approvals and multiple screenings can make the process time-consuming.

Despite these challenges, surrogacy remains a lifeline for many couples struggling with infertility, and services like Select IVF ensure a legally sound and ethical approach to parenthood.

Conclusion: Is Surrogacy in India Right for You?

Understanding the Surrogacy Law in India is crucial for couples considering this path to parenthood. While the legal framework has made surrogacy more ethical and regulated, it has also introduced certain restrictions that intended parents must navigate.

As of 2025, the cost of surrogacy in India has remained lower than in many Western countries, making it an attractive option for intended parents.

This guide will break down the cost of surrogacy in India, factors influencing the total expenses, and provide key legal considerations. By understanding the details, you can make an informed decision if you are considering surrogacy as your pathway to parenthood.

1. Surrogacy Costs in India in 2025

In 2025, the cost of surrogacy in India typically ranges from ₹12 lakhs to ₹20 lakhs (approximately $15,000 to $25,000 USD). This cost generally covers the entire process, including medical procedures, surrogate compensation, and legal formalities.

2. Breakdown of Surrogacy Costs

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the costs associated with surrogacy in India:

a. Medical Expenses

The medical procedures involved in surrogacy, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer, contribute to a significant portion of the total cost. Common medical expenses include:

IVF treatment: ₹3 lakhs to ₹5 lakhs, depending on the clinic and specific requirements.

Surrogate prenatal care: This includes regular check-ups, ultrasounds, and general health monitoring, which typically costs around ₹1 lakh to ₹2 lakhs.

Delivery costs: Surrogates usually deliver at a private hospital, with delivery costs ranging from ₹1 lakh to ₹1.5 lakhs, depending on the delivery method.

b. Surrogate Compensation

While commercial surrogacy is no longer permitted in India, the law allows surrogates to be compensated for medical expenses and any loss of earnings during pregnancy. Surrogate compensation ranges from ₹4 lakhs to ₹6 lakhs.

Agency fees can vary but generally range from ₹2 lakhs to ₹4 lakhs. Other costs may include travel expenses, accommodation, and surrogate living expenses, adding another ₹1 lakh to ₹2 lakhs.

3. Factors That Influence Surrogacy Costs

Several factors can impact the overall cost of surrogacy in India, such as:

4. Legal Considerations for Surrogacy in India

In 2025, surrogacy in India operates under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021, which strictly prohibits commercial surrogacy. The law only allows altruistic surrogacy, meaning that the surrogate is compensated only for medical and insurance expenses. Here are the key legal points:

Eligibility: Surrogacy is available only to Indian couples who have been married for at least five years and have been unable to conceive through other fertility treatments.

Surrogate’s rights: Surrogates are protected under the law, and all contracts must be signed before the medical procedures begin.

Intended parents' rights: Legal safeguards are in place to ensure that intended parents are recognized as the legal guardians of the child from birth.

Intended parents should consult with experienced legal professionals to ensure they comply with Indian surrogacy laws.

5. How to Choose a Surrogacy Clinic in India

Choosing the right surrogacy clinic is crucial for a successful surrogacy journey. When selecting a clinic, consider the following factors:

Success rates: Check the clinic's success rates for IVF and surrogacy programs.

Reputation: Read reviews and ask for recommendations from previous patients.

Medical expertise: Ensure the clinic has experienced doctors and advanced medical technology.

Transparency of costs: Choose a clinic that provides a clear breakdown of costs without hidden fees.

Conclusion

In 2025, India continues to offer affordable surrogacy options compared to other countries, with costs ranging between ₹12 lakhs to ₹20 lakhs. However, it's essential to understand the breakdown of expenses and be aware of the legal aspects before starting the surrogacy process. By choosing a reputable clinic and seeking proper legal guidance, intended parents can navigate their surrogacy journey successfully and securely.

I used to be staunchly part of the "body horror" camp. And it's not like I STOPPED feeling that way, but through the help of good lord Satan and deviantart erotica, I've mostly overcome my phobia by this point.

It sounds absolutely nightmarish, but also if I reach middle age and I've never done it, I'm probably going to regret. Y'know, my genes might not be the worthiest of perpetuating, but sometimes you want to climb the mountain just because it's there.

I used to want to get an early-age hysterectomy. But (and this is not advice on how other people should live their lives) I'm glad I grew out of it before doing anything drastic. Ultimately, my anatomy is beautiful; my organs are not the problem. The men trying to criminalize my anatomy, the men trying to sell me like a sow, they're the problem.

And once I've made jewelry out of the bones of the GOP, then it will be safe to start my family.
