Couples in Oregon who cannot conceive now have a path to parenthood - with the benefit of a genetic relationship.
(prHWY.com) January 18, 2013 - Portland, OR -- Northwest Surrogacy Center a leading surrogacy center in the Pacific Northwest is helping create families for couples who cannot conceive. With a long history of dealing with surrogate motherhood, the surrogacy agency is helping all kinds of people to realize their dreams of becoming parents.
Here is what one of the surrogate mothers says. "My agency contacted me the other day and mentioned there is a couple considering surrogacy. The process is overwhelming and they wanted to talk with someone who has gone through the experience. I am now thrilled".
For intended parents however, the entire process is not just about undertaking the medical procedure. They have to consider all things from day one.
A well-known mental health professional is of the view that psychological counseling is essential for the intending couple. "Women who opt for a surrogate mother try to control every aspect of the surrogate's life and this can cause conflicts between the individuals".
For surrogates choosing surrogate motherhood is a challenging experience. The intending couple is likely to ask a lot of questions. Did anything go wrong earlier? Will she be able to adapt to the intending parent's specific child care needs?
Ideally all parties must complete a mutually shared surrogacy questionnaire. The questionnaire must include queries about mental illness, earlier hospitalizations, genetic illness if any, prior pregnancy etc.
Luckily, Northwest Surrogacy Center has spent 18 years leading parents and surrogates through the experience of surrogacy. Their requirements for women who want to become a surrogate mother include a minimum age of 21 years, good physical and mental health, must abstain from cigarettes, alcohol and drugs.
Surrogate motherhood can be an overwhelmingly satisfying experience. The key requirement however is that the surrogate must be living in Oregon.
