With legal changes enacted and numerous questions about the process, navigating surrogacy treatment in India can seem daunting. At Ekmi Fertility, we have assisted hundreds of intended parents in learning available paths and making educated choices. This guide deconstructs everything you need to know about surrogacy in India today.
Surrogacy in India: What has Changed?
The Surrogacy Regulation Act of 2021 overhauled how surrogacy operates in India. Here’s what you need to know:
Who can opt for surrogacy:
Married Indian couples (the duration of marriage should be minimum 5 years)
In women between 25 and 50 years of age and men between 26-55 year-old
Couples with known infertility or other health problems making pregnancy impossible
for Indian citizens only – foreign nationals can no longer engage in commercial surrogacy
Only altruistic surrogacy – allowing to recover no more than medical expenses and insurance – is currently allowed by law. This move puts ethics first, and it is designed to safeguard both the surrogate and intended parent.
The Surrogacy Journey, Step by Step
Medical Evaluation
Your fertility doctor will evaluate both you and your partner to see if surrogacy is medically indicated. This can cover tests to check your fertility and health as well as discuss past treatments you may have tried.
Finding a Surrogate
The surrogate should be a close family member who already has had at least one child. This is done after psychological counseling and other medical evaluations.
Legal Documentation
Everything is signed and we have the powers that be or the power who’s approve it. This includes an insurance policy for the surrogate, and legal rights to parentage for intended parents.
IVF and Embryo Transfer
We prepare embryos with the genetic material of the intended parents (or donor gametes, if required) and transfer in to the surrogate uterus during her optimum fertility period.
Pregnancy Monitoring
During the pregnancy we offer total medical care, monitoring, and support for all who are part of this process.
