Surrogacy for Gay Couples

 

What is Surrogacy?

Surrogacy is a treatment that allows a woman to carry and give birth to a child for another couple or individual, these couple and individuals are also referred to as intended parents. Intended parents are unable to conceive and deliver a child on their own and hence, they opt for the treatment. 

Nowadays clinics perform gestational surrogacy, which results in no biological relation between a surrogate and the child. This surrogacy is safe in terms of its legalities and prenatal rights. Gestational surrogacy is safe while having full custody of the child in the hands of the intended parents. 

Surrogacy for Gay Couples

Surrogacy for Gay Couples is a revolutionary step taken by various countries considering gay parental rights. Earlier, only heterosexual couples were allowed to choose the surrogacy treatment but with the realization of Gay rights, many countries, states, and centers legalized the surrogacy treatment for same-sex couples. Gay surrogacy or same-sex surrogacy refers to the process of medical treatment, where these couples can conceive their pregnancy by taking the help of the surrogate mother. A surrogate will help them conceive their child on behalf of them in her womb for the term. And once the child is born, the child belongs to the intended parents. 

Surrogacy Laws for Gay Couples

Four-Party Agreement: Before starting the treatment it becomes necessary for all the parties to sign the agreement. The agreement protects the rights of the Intended Parents, the surrogate, the agency, and the clinic. 

License: Countries that allow for surrogacy have allowed only licensed clinics to perform the treatment and it becomes necessary to hire an agency that has tie-ups with licensed surrogacy clinics. Global Star Surrogacy Commercial Agency is one of those surrogacy agencies that has tie-ups with top and licensed clinics.

Protection of Intended Parents: Countries that allow for the surrogacy procedure have developed laws to protect the rights of the intended parents. According to the law, after the birth of the child, the custody of the child is given to the intended parents.

Medical Testing and Screening: These laws also state that the surrogate has to go through medical testing and screening to evaluate the mental and physical condition of the surrogate and her compatibility to conceive a child. 

Post Birth: After the birth of the child, the child's custody has to be transferred to the intended parents, the birth certificate of the child has to be issued, and the passport and citizenship of the child have to be issued. In the case of international intended parents, the child's citizenship is issued based on the intended parent’s home country.
