Compensation and Medical Care

The surrogate mothers are properly cared for and well paid. A substantial amount of the package cost is paid to them as their compensation for carrying your baby. Her compensation is divided into monthly payments with a major sum being paid upon delivery of the baby. In coordination with the gynecologist and a medical social worker, who visits her home regularly upon positive pregnancy, her medical care is routinely maintained with regular visits to the clinic, medications including multi vitamins, mineral and nutritional supplements and ultrasounds. Her husband is encouraged to participate in her visits to the doctor. We also fortify her living environment at home, if required, with gadgets and stuff like refrigerator, air cooler etc. She receives two months of ante natal care under the gynecologist post delivery.

Legal Documents

Surrogate is also counseled about the legal aspect of the surrogacy agreement with Intended Parent wherein she gives up her claim on the baby. She along with her husband enter into a legal agreement with the Intended Parents, executed by a surrogacy lawyer, to understand and give the legal rights on the baby to the Intended Parents.
