“I also felt like I was wasting my fertility by not helping others to have a child - if I could help, why not?”Ĭan parents insist on changes in lifestyle for the surrogate as they carry their child? This is a grey area. “Desperate to be pregnant again” but not wanting more children of her own she signed up to Surrogacy UK as a potential surrogate. Caroline Evans, a 35-year-old care assistant in residential home for people with dementia, has been a surrogate twice through Surrogacy UK, and is currently trying for a third (she has her own daughter, Aimee, 12). If cost makes surrogacy prohibitive, the rarity of that “most generous help” is also a stumbling block. With gestational surrogacy, where the surrogate carries a baby she is not genetically related to, the egg from the intended mother or donor is fertilised through IVF and then placed inside her at a fertility clinic. This can be done either at home, using a donor insemination kit, or in a clinic. In traditional surrogacy the biological mother carries a surrogate’s egg which is inseminated with the father’s sperm. Prosser adds: “We’ve got single dads and some single women, although very few, who just haven’t met the right person and want to have a child on their own.” New West End Company BRANDPOST | PAID CONTENT.
