More and more celebrities are using surrogacy, thereby popularizing it. For example, Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade gave birth to a daughter with the help of a surrogate mother, they were extremely happy about this event. But many people do not understand why a child was born in this way, or are not sure that they will be able to go through surrogate motherhood themselves. So let’s consider the basic facts of surrogacy. One of the facts is that in almost all cases, a child is born with the DNA of its parents. This became possible thanks to in vitro fertilization (IVF), where the egg and sperm of the intended parents are used, if there are no medical contraindications. It is also a fact that a relative, friend, or a stranger can become a surrogate mother. Friends or relatives can offer you help themselves, and in the case of a stranger, a surrogacy agency will be the best help. The next fact is that using surrogate motherhood is not cheap, so in the USA you need to focus on the amount from 100,000 to 140,000 US dollars. Well, the last fact is that you need to apply for legal help. So surrogacy laws differ in different states and countries, so you need an experienced lawyer who knows all the ins and outs.
