Men having babies: surrogacy option
More and More Single Men are Turning to Surrogacy Services
For many single men, the idea of starting a family through egg donation and surrogacy is becoming more common. It is estimated that more than two million men in the United States are single fathers, representing about 17 percent of all single fathers. Just because a man is single does not mean he cannot be a father.
Like many women who postpone motherhood for the sake of education and career, many men fall into the same category. With assisted reproductive technology, single men and women can become parents with the help of an egg donor and a surrogate.
Patience is a Virtue infertility can be a difficult and emotionally challenging experience,
Anyone considering egg donation and surrogacy process knows that it can be an expensive undertaking also.
Apart from the financial aspect, intended parents must be patient in choosing a partner agency and suitable egg donors and surrogate mothers. This is complicated by the fact that not every US state has LGBTQ+-friendly surrogacy laws, so finding a good fertility lawyer who knows the best states for surrogacy and the rules that apply to childbirth is key.
Find 'The One'.
As we said before, choosing the right egg donor requires patience. Parents usually want the donor to be like them physically and to have certain hobbies or personality traits. If parents want a donor with very specific characteristics, such as a rare blood group or ethnicity, the process of finding the 'right person' may take longer.
Nevertheless, a reputable egg donation agency can help alleviate this stress by knowing which donors already qualify. Once a donor has been selected, he or she must undergo a medical screening process and psychological evaluation before being selected.
Finding the best surrogate for your family can also take some effort, but in some ways, it is easier than finding the right donor. Without any genetic link to a surrogate mother, expectant fathers can take their time choosing a surrogate candidate rather than worrying about her physical characteristics. As with egg donors, surrogate mothers must undergo medical and psychological examinations before they are allowed to participate in a surrogacy cycle.
When it comes down to it, there are so many ways to start a family. Assisted reproductive technologies such as egg donation and surrogacy are just two ways of family building. Fortunately, surrogacy is not just a passing fad but a growing trend as more and more single intended parents turn to surrogacy to have children of their own. It is truly amazing how evolving technology is enabling not only women but also men to become parents, challenging the typical two-parent family model.
