What is Surrogacy and who need surrogates?
Surrogacyin Kenya is a
process where a surrogate is a woman who agrees to carry the baby for another
woman in her womb for 9 months because the intended mother is unable to carry
the pregnancy due to some medical illness or her fertility expert recommends
going for the surrogacy procedure as carrying a pregnancy can lead to death for
her or for newborn. Surrogates can do this by using her own eggs which can be
fertilized by the sperm of intended father or eggs of an intended mother can be
used and embryo developed will be implanted in the womb of the surrogate.
Procedure for Surrogacy in Kenya
Surrogacy
in Kenya is of two
types (i) Traditional surrogacy, and (ii) Gestational surrogacy
•
Traditional Surrogacy: In this procedure, the surrogate mother is biologically related to the
newborn as her eggs are being artificially inseminated with the intended father
sperm or by the sperm donor and then surrogate mother carries a baby for
intended parents in her womb for 9 months until the baby birth.
•
Gestational Surrogacy: In this procedure, the eggs of intended mother or egg donor and the
sperm of intended father or sperm donor are used for fertilization and then the
developing embryo will be implanted in the womb of the surrogate mother. This
is the safe procedure and the gestational surrogate is not biologically related
to the newborn as her eggs are not used for the IVF cycle.
Legal Process
Surrogacy
in Kenya is a legal
and documented procedure right from the day one after the selection of
surrogates. The agreement need to signed by both the parties before they begin
the surrogacy procedure and it states that after the birth of baby the
surrogate will hand over the baby to intended parents and the Court orders to
the Department of Vital Statistics to issue the new birth certificate of baby
in the name of his/her intended parents as a legal parents.
Selection of Surrogates
Before the
surrogates are enrolled themselves in the surrogacy procedure the agencies
which hire them properly look around the family background, husband's consent,
person’s physical, mental and social
health condition etc. and also these surrogate mothers are medically screened
for the infectious diseases such AIDS and Hepatitis so that it will not pass to
newborn. The surrogates between the age of 23 to 40 years, preferably a married
woman with kids are hired by the agencies as we all know that surrogacy is not
an easy procedure it required a lot of emotional and mental support. Married
surrogates with kids are the women who can bear the stress of the surrogacy
procedure and this is the reason why we preferred married surrogates with
parents.
How many embryos are transferred
for a single attempt?
The number
of embryos transferred depends on the age and the number of eggs retrieved. If
the intended mother is using her own eggs and her age is more than 35 years
then the implantation rate may go down as compared with the women who are using
the eggs of the egg donor or the surrogate mother who are young, healthy and
fertile. In some countries, the embryo transfer restricted to one or two
embryos only as it can cause the defect of multiple pregnancies.
Cost of Surrogacy in Kenya
The cost of
Surrogacy in Kenya is one-fifth of the other well-developed countries
and this is the major reason that why every year number of patients prefer to
travel down to Kenya for their surrogacy procedure to fulfill their dream of
having an own baby.
