Is surrogacy legal in Canada?
Yes! But the government is currently trying to pass legistation that would ban surrogacy except for altruistic reasons.
Are surrogates doing this for the money?
NO! In my experience, the women who approach me that want to do this, are truly doing this "out of the goodness of their heart". I truly don't believe that the compensation that these women receive is enough to "change their lifestyle".
What would I look for in a "typical surrogate"?
Basically a woman that already has children, throughly enjoys being pregnant, and has "done her homework", regarding surrogacy.
Shouldn't I worry that she will try and keep my baby?
NO! This person is helping you to have your family. She generally has already completed her family. To my knowledge, no Carrier in Canada has ever tried to keep the baby.
What is the most difficult part of the whole process?
From my experience, it probably has to be "The Contract Stage". Most of the items everyone can get through quite easily. But NO ONE likes to discuss the financial aspects. It is beneficial sometimes to be able to have a neutral third party involved to help resolve any issues that may arise.
What is the best part of the whole process?
By far, it is in the delivery room!!
