My story of being a mother by surrogacy in India

E-mail Print PDF
I had never dreamt that a lady from India would become a surrogate mother of my child. I am Olivia Martins from U.S, life had not been so kind to me since my child hood as I lost my parents in a car accident. Moreover I got a gynecological problem after my marriage getting ineligible to deliver a baby and it was the worst shock to me and my husband Kris who dearly loved me and desired to have kids. Never in my dreams I had imagined that a lady from India would become a surrogate to deliver a child to me one year before.But this is true now after I had got a beautiful baby girl I had named her as Annie-Rita actually the name Rita was suggested by Rupa the Indian surrogate mother of my child.

My trouble began when we were without any issue even after 2 years of marriage and me as well as my husband Kris often got disappointed at our condition when ever we saw any happy couple enjoying their time with kids in a garden or a restaurant. I often felt guilty but Kris who was a highly sensible person and devoted husband told me to seek a doctor for a solution. And we sought the advice of a gynecological surgeon and he told us that hiring a surrogate mother for an invitro fertilization as well as delivery would be the most simple and easy way to solve our problem. We agreed to execute the plan and gave ads in the local news papers for hiring a surrogate mother under the guidance of our doctor. We got a good response at the very beginning as healthy women from twenty one to thirty three years responded to the ad and met us however they demanded a high charge of 12000$-15000$ U.S for giving the foetus a space to accumulate in their wombs and moreover some critical cases of the city also came into light in which the surrogate mother refused to handover the baby to the parents due to emotional and financial causes. Our doctor told that surrogacy has become a commercial business in the country creating trouble for childless couples so we should better find a reliable agency who could arrange a trustworthy lady for surrogacy, he further added that hiring a surrogate mother in countries like India is more beneficial as Indian people give importance to ethical values and the prices for the delivery solution is also less as compared to other places nearly 6000$ and the best medical care facilities are also available at hospitals of India.
