We live in a diverse world with many different types of relationships, and sometimes the partnership isn’t exactly optimal for making babies.

For example, same-sex couples have to make peace with the fact that alternative methods are necessary to have kids.

And this is where surrogacy comes in because it has helped hundreds of parents to live their dreams. To give you a better idea of why they chose surrogacy, here are some of the benefits.

– It doesn’t matter what the nature or scenario of your relationship might be (single, same-sex, infertile), surrogacy can help you start a family. 

– There is the option of gestational surrogacy, meaning one or both parents can be biologically related to the baby. 

– Surrogacy brings hope when there is none. 

– The intended parents play a necessary role from start to finish, and they are involved in many of the beautiful moments. 

– There is an opportunity for the intended parents to learn and bond with the surrogate. In some cases, they even get to know her family. 

– There aren’t as many restrictions and complications involved with surrogacy as there are with adoption. 

– In most cases, the surrogate has experience with carrying a baby full-term. In other words, the odds of complications are less than going with fertility treatments and insemination. Because the Intended Parents have often times suffered miscarriages, failed IVF attempts, hysterectomies, or other disappointments, this is an important relief to them.

– Given the success rate of surrogacy and fewer complications, it’s much easier for intended parents to stay in control and have more peace of mind that everything will work out fine.

– Essentially, selflessness is a reward in itself. The pride and satisfaction surrogates feel after providing life for those that could only dream about cannot be put into words. 

– Given the involvement of the intended parents, it’s very common for the surrogate to bond with them on the journey. In some cases, this bond lasts forever.

– Some women enjoy being pregnant, and surrogacy gives them the opportunity to repeat the experience if they already have a family of their own.

– Not only can a surrogate involve their friends and family, but they can also be an example of what true selflessness really means.  

– A surrogate doesn’t have to worry about hospital bills or any other expenses for that matter. Everything they go through, from the high-quality medical care to the counseling services, are paid for.
