Having and raising a child is one experience in a lifetime that a man and woman would love to be blessed with. Sadly, according to statistics, around 20% of couples cannot have children for no choice of their own but because of some painful circumstances. One solution that a childless couple can do is to turn to assisted reproduction. If you are among those who would like to offer solution to help these couples denied of being parents, here are some of the things that you can do.
One act that you can consider is surrogacy, where you can provide couples without children to have a child of their own by offering to become a surrogate mother. In being a surrogate, there are many good things that you can get. One is by offering to carry a baby to term, where you will experience a wonderful sense of self-fulfillment as a result from giving the best gift humanly possible that you can give and that of which is to give a childless couple. This may sound strange to others but there are actually women who love to experience pregnancy. Some may even find the experience so powerful that experiencing it again is a welcomed idea.
If you basically want to help childless couples without gaining financially, this is called altruistic surrogacy. However, the surrogate though generally gets some reimbursement of the expenses that encountered related to the pregnancy and during birth, and nothing expected financially after that. There is however a situation called commercial surrogacy, where after some jurisdictions, these surrogates are given thousands of money to carry and deliver a child that may or may not be related to them genetically.
According to the experiences of a surrogate mother, surrogacy is physically stressful, time consuming and a process that involves your emotions. Thus, if you are thinking of becoming a surrogate mother, you must undergo and be ready to face rigorous mental and physical health screening before starting of becoming one. Know that there are reputable surrogacy agencies in california which can help facilitate and administer screening, counselling and legal services.
Another way that you can help childless couples is to be an egg donor. It is said that women who have donated eggs have a strong sense of pride after experiencing in helping couples who are infertile. Take note though that not all women can donate eggs, just like EDSI surrogacy.
This is because there are programs that will identify the terms that will qualify positively to be able to donate eggs. One is that egg donors must be within the age of 21 to 35 to be of right quality. There are also couples who would opt to have donors who have already given birth or donors who have donated eggs successfully. To be an egg donor, you will have to perform several medical visits involving physical and psychological screening before accepted into the program. Only when you are assessed, accepted, matched with a particular parent, and have given your permission or consent when donation can take place.
