A child in the family is like a gem. Childless parents will agree with this statement since every look, cry or voice calling ’Mama’ shouts of the void created by the absence of their own child. When the prayers do not fulfil the wish, then one thinks of adopting a child.

A child who is fathered by you would be a better option.

Till some time before, it was beyond anybody’s imagination. But now it has come true. In India, some bold women can produce your child and deliver it to you. They can control their feelings, their sentiments, their longing for the child. Besides, their husbands and other family members have adjusted themselves to face the society leaders.

They are known as ‘Surrogated mothers’.

Childless parents from USA, Germany and UK have been found very keen to utilize the services of surrogate mothers. They are prepared to spend US$ 23,000 for each child. Out of this amount the surrogate mothers receive US$7,500. India has legalized commercial surrogacy in 2002. It will enable India to promote Medical Tourism through surrogate mums and earn US$2.3 million each year.

It is surprising that some of the countries do not recognise surrogacy. As such they do not allow visa to such children. Taking note of such problems, the Indian government is now planning to pass a bill banning IVF clinics from arranging surrogacy transactions, and calling for the establishment of an “ART bank” that would locate surrogate moms and reproductive donors.

The new law will not only restrict a woman to be a surrogate up to five times and would set a 35-year age limit, but at the same time, will stipulate that the foreign couple’s home country would guarantee citizenship for the unborn infant.
