Australians head overseas for surrogacy

AUSTRALIANS are increasingly turning to surrogacy arrangements in India to fulfil their desire to have children, new research shows.
Hundreds of Australians are choosing India as their destination for commercial surrogacy, followed by Thailand and the United States, rather than opt for a legal arrangement in Australia which bans compensating surrogates.
Research by Surrogacy Australia, an Australian agency involved in international surrogacy, found there were 200 recorded surrogacy births in India to Australian couples so far this year, compared to 179 in 2011, 86 in 2010 and 47 in 2009.
The research included Australian government statistics, data collected from 14 large overseas surrogacy agencies and a survey of 217 Australians.

Fair-skinned Indian women paid £1,000 more to be surrogates than others

Fair-skinned high caste women are being paid £1,000 more to be surrogate mothers than their dark-skinned, low-caste rivals, an Indian study has found.

India has become a medical tourism destination for fertility treatment and surrogacy among both childless Western and Indian couples from around the world.

But according to researchers surrogate mothers still face discrimination over their caste, skin colour and attractiveness despite the fact that the foetus they carry has none of their own genetic material.

Commercial surrogacy grows in India

They never wanted to have a child, until they did. And then they couldn't.
For four years, this San Carlos couple struggled with infertility. Now, their child is growing inside a woman they have never met, in India, a country they have never seen.
This is the story of Jennifer Benito-Kowalski, 39, and Steve Kowalski, 40, who are trying to start a family 8,200 miles from the Bay Area.
It is also the story of a developing nation where hundreds of women, for a price, are opening their wombs to fulfill the dreams of aspiring parents around the world.
Commercial surrogacy became legal in India a decade ago in an effort to stimulate medical tourism, the emerging practice of travel across international borders to obtain cheaper health care. The Confederation of Indian Industry estimates the market will generate $2.3 billion this year.

Origins of Love: the reality and ethics of reproductive tourism

Assisted reproductive technology has grown significantly in Australia as in other countries and hundreds of thousands of children have now been born because of it around the world. Most of us know people who’ve had children this way.
But there’s another side to assisted reproduction with which Australians are less familiar. You may know that it’s often difficult for infertile couples to find suitable egg donors if a woman cannot produce her own eggs or if her eggs are not able to be fertilised.
And it’s even harder for couples to find a surrogate mother if they can’t have a child themselves, or they want to have a child who is biologically related to both of them (especially as payments and other rewards have been prohibited in Australia).
You may have heard of “reproductive tourism”, where people travel to another country to undertake procedures that Australian women may be unwilling to undertake, or that would be unlawful in Australia. But most of us know little about the experiences of people in those countries who are drawn into these activities.

Our 'rent a womb' child from an Indian

A couple tell today how they are expecting a child by a surrogate mother from an Indian ‘baby factory’.
Octavia and Dominic Orchard travelled to the Hyderabad clinic to get around a UK ban on commercial surrogacy. Their baby – due at the end of the year – will be theirs biologically while being born to an impoverished Indian ‘renting out’ her womb.
Mrs Orchard, a middle-class Oxfordshire housewife, admitted the £20,000 deal sounded ‘cold and clinical’ but insisted: ‘This is a business transaction.’
Describing the surrogate mother as ‘just a vessel’, the 34-year-old former estate agent added: ‘There is no altruism involved on the surrogate’s part: she is being paid to have our baby’.
At A clinic in Hyderabad, southern India, a surrogate mother is carrying Octavia and Dominic Orchard’s second child. The couple, who are as English as their bucolic-sounding name, know only the sparest of details about the woman who is pregnant with their baby.

Surrogacy a booming business in India -

After two miscarriages and six unsuccessful rounds of fertility treatments, Adela Ramirez Fryhover would do anything to have a baby, including hiring someone else to carry it for her.

"I want to become a mother so bad," says Fryhover, an American who moved from Miami to Delhi for her husband’s job with Nokia, the phone company. "The ultimate goal (in life) is to have a child, to experience motherhood."

The desire consumes her. Fryhover says she thinks about it all the time: "This is what you wake up to, and this is what you go to sleep with."

She’s hoping Wyzax Surrogacy Consultants, part of a relatively new but booming commercial surrogacy industry in India, will help.
