Surrogacy India is an option - Costs for battling infertility are high



When her friends complain about how expensive their kids are, Haley Hanzon laughs.
"We just show them the bills showing them how much trying to have these babies cost," she says.
Like one out of every six to eight couples in the U.S., the Hanzons are infertile. The young couple lives in West Jordan, a suburb of Salt Lake City, and has been trying to start a family without success for several years. Haley leads a local infertility support group of about 20 women, and they often commiserate on the staggering costs of family-building.
While debate nationwide centers around contraceptive access, the costs of conception are so high and insurance coverage so limited that fertility treatment is largely viewed as a luxury good. However, infertility affects rich and the poor alike, and couples like the Hanzons who pursue fertility treatment face an uphill financial battle in building their families.

Surrogacy In India - Varying laws can complicate surrogacy

If Jennifer Benito-Kowalski could have had her way, she wouldn't have shipped her eggs to India.
Determined to have a child but unable to conceive and unwilling to adopt, the San Carlos woman considered hiring a Bay Area surrogate in early 2012.
But the cost was high - more than $100,000 - and surrogacy in the United States sounded like a nightmare. She feared a repeat of a case in New Jersey, where a surrogate took back the baby she had carried from its intended parents.
"I didn't want to take any chances" of that happening, said Benito-Kowalski, 40. So she and her husband, Steve Kowalski, mailed their embryos to a clinic in India, where surrogacy was just $25,000 and seemed, at least at the time, more clear cut.

Review - Weecare Surrogacy USA

Dr Meenashki with baby Connor

A few weeks ago we returned home with two beautiful babies born through
surrogacy in Mumbai.  We have used WeeCare Surrogacy as our agent and are
completely satisfied with the services that they have provided to us.
Taking the surrogacy journey is a difficult decision as it is fraught with
risks and uncertainty. WeeCare reduces most of these risks. We could trust
in them right away because, Victor Hui-Wee, the executive director has
taken the  surrogacy journey himself. Victor was straightforward with us
and most helpful throughout our journey. Once we signed up with WeeCare,
we were given quick access to the partner in India and also flexibility to
choose when we want to start our journey.

Victor provided with thorough support throughout the process, including
detailed information about what to expect, conference calls before we
embark on our initial trip and the final trip to pick-up the babies.
Victor always responds quickly to e-mail and telephone queries and phone
us several times when we are in Mumbai to provide support.

When we look at our babies now, we marvel that we are able to have such a
beautiful family. We know that we could not have completed the surrogacy
journey without the support and encouragement from WeeCare Surrogacy.

Thank you so much!

Why People Are Angry About India’s New Surrogacy Rules

A new government regulation has left 28-year-old Sunita Devi worried about the future of the baby she is carrying. Devi, who is already showing at five months, is a surrogate mother carrying the child of a single Canadian man. Wearing a yellow shalwar suit and a long, well-oiled braid, Devi is visibly upset as she talks about a memo that India’s Home Ministry circulated late last year to Indian missions abroad, stipulating that gay couples, single men and women, nonmarried couples and couples from countries where surrogacy is illegal be prohibited from hiring a commercial surrogate in India. As of an unspecified date, foreigners who want to hire a surrogate must be a “man and woman,” the new rule says, “[who] are duly married and the marriage should be sustained at least two years.” Now Devi is worried that the child she is carrying may not be able to be handed over to its Canadian father. “I will be carrying this baby for nine months,” she says. “But what if after I give birth, it doesn’t get a home?”

India's growing 'rent-a-womb' industry

Margaret, a social worker from South Australia, discovered in her late 20s that she could not give birth to a child. Given the long waiting list for adoption, she decided at age 39 to use a surrogate mother instead.
Like many Australians, she decided to hire an Indian surrogate mother. Now a mother of twins, Margaret said it was "just miraculous that this was a possibility for us".
Bobby and Nikki Bains, from Essex in the United Kingdom, had lost all hopes of having a child after five in-vitro fertilisation attempts and spent two years trying to find a suitable surrogate in the UK. Given that advertising for a surrogate is illegal there, they turned towards India and have now had two children with the help of surrogate mothers.
Margaret and the Bains are just some of the many foreign nationals who are increasingly visiting India in search of surrogate wombs. It has become a sunrise industry in India: the country is now home to approximately 1,000 surrogacy centres.
According to a recent article in Mother Jones, surrogacy is now an estimated $2.3bn business. Each year, it is estimated that 25,000 couples visit India for surrogacy services, resulting in more than 2,000 births
