Why International Surrogacy is Better than Adoption

For couples who are not able to have children because of fertility issues, there are very many choices available. This also applies to gay couples. They can either adopt a baby or have a baby through a surrogate mother. The article below tells why having a surrogate mother is important than adopting a child.
The first reason is, a couple get to choose a surrogate mother. They will obviously go for a woman whose background they are very familiar with. They know where the mother lives, where she was raised, what she does for living and many more others. Most of the time when a child is adopted, the background of the child's parents is not known.

The second reason why international surrogacy is better than adoption is that the intended parent will be genetically related to the child. One great advantage of surrogacy is that either one or both of the intended parents will be able to be connected with the child biologically. An embryo is created by the parent's egg or sperm which is then transferred to the surrogate's womb medically. This method is important for families that badly need a genetic child. The legal process is simplified and more control is given to the intended parents during the pregnancy period. Adoption, on the other hand, means that there will be no genetic relationship between the child and his adoptive parents. Sometimes the legal process of adopting the child is always complicated.

The next point is that intended parents do not have to look for the biological mother of their child during surrogacy. This is because they will be with the mother of their child throughout her pregnancy period to the delivery time. On the contrast, for adoptive parents, they have to look for the biological mother of their child. Sometimes they can wait for months before finding the mother, others wait for years. Many women prefer surrogacy to adoption because they will be related to the child biologically and they will also have the chance to be with the child from birth.

Surrogacy allows the surrogate mother to go through medical screening before being matched with the intended parent. This process helps the intended parents to be sure that their baby will be safe in the surrogate's womb. This is because alcohol and drugs are ruled out in this process. The surrogate also receives proper medical care during the pregnancy period. In adoption, having the birth mother screened is very rare. Sometimes the mother does not undergo prenatal care.
