Process of Surrogacy in Iran

In the past, infertility was a worldwide problem that bothered infertile couples at times. But nowadays, in a variety of ways, parenthood is an achievable wish for any couple. As always, physicians and specialists of the field have found a way to solve this problem: surrogacy.

Surrogacy is one of the fertility treatments to have a baby. In the continuation of this article, we will explain to you the process of performing surrogacy in the specialized blog of Amitis medtour Health Tourism Co.

The Process of Performing Surrogacy in Iran

As mentioned above, some conditions prevent a woman from getting pregnant.
For example, if a woman does not have a uterus (either congenitally or as a person who has later removed her uterus) or if her womb is small, she cannot go through pregnancy.
If a woman suffers from a specific uterine condition or has experienced an abortion in the past, she may use surrogacy to become a mother.
In some cases, the mother has a specific disease and pregnancy will threaten her life. For example, if a woman is diagnosed with severe diabetes or heart failure, going through a period of pregnancy poses a serious threat on her, and it is better to use surrogacy to have a child.
The benefits of surrogacy have been mentioned shortly before. But this process is not such that every woman can become a surrogate.
If eligible, a person can become a surrogate. In the following, we state all the conditions of eligibility.

Surrogacy Conditions

• 1. The surrogate mother must be young to rent her womb.
• 2. She should not be breastfeeding at the time.
• 3. She must be in complete mental and physical health.
• 4. In addition, the surrogate’s husband or partner must express his agreement to this matter.
• 5. She must not have infectious diseases.

If you do not have any babies, you are more likely to be disqualified for surrogacy. In addition, you should have experienced a c-section at most twice, and in your previous pregnancies, you should not have experienced challenges such as preterm delivery, diabetes, or gestational hypertension. These conditions are a requirement of the surrogacy process, and even if you do not meet one of the above conditions, various clinics will discourage you from doing so.

Because in addition to your life, the life of the fetus may also be in danger. For more information on the process of performing surrogacy in Iran, visit the Amitis Medical Tourism website.

Steps of Surrogacy Process

The process of surrogacy will be stated in the following stages.

• Counseling Session with a Psychiatrist

First, a couple planning to have a baby through surrogacy, and a woman planning to become a surrogate, must have several counseling sessions under the supervision of a psychiatrist or social practitioner.
They should then be informed of the rules and conditions for doing so. The next step is to ensure their physical and mental health by conducting the essential tests.

• Contract Drafting by a Legal Counsel

After the decision is finalized, it is time to draft the contract. At this point, a contract is set up between the parties and it is better to do so under the supervision of an expert such as a lawyer to prevent any further disputes and complications.
All conditions must be included in the text of the contract. For example, who is responsible for different costs during pregnancy and how he or she pays for it.
It should be stated in the text of the surrogacy agreement that the woman who becomes the surrogate has no genetic link with the baby and will not have any parental rights to the baby.
This is to prevent the surrogate mother from making any claims of being the baby’s mother and keeping the baby or reimbursement of the fee she has received.
If the above point is mentioned in the contract, her claim shall be void by law.

• Determining the Cost of Surrogacy

If you ask someone to be your surrogate, you usually have to pay a fee. This amount starts from $ 830 in Iran.
These costs vary depending on the circumstances of the intended parents, and the surrogate, as well as other conditions such as medical testing, etc.

• Selecting a Reputable Clinic for Embryo Transfer

To transfer the embryo to the surrogate mother’s womb, you must visit a reputable clinic. This procedure is done without anesthesia and is an outpatient procedure.
After the embryo transfer is complete, you will return home and rest for about two weeks. Then, you will visit the clinic once more to see if the pregnancy was successful.

• Evaluation of Post Embryo Transfer

Surrogacy has a success rate of at least 30%. The intended parent(s) should pay only 3 to 5 percent of the costs before the pregnancy is confirmed.
If you care about your baby’s health, it is best to create the best conditions for the surrogate mother because anxiety can be very dangerous for the fetus.
You do not have to do anything special during pregnancy because surrogacy is like all pregnancies in the world.
After childbirth, register the birth certificate and the contract you set up between the parties to the Civil Registration Organization so that you can get the baby’s ID in your name.
If you are worried about the baby’s feeding, it must be mentioned that the mother of the baby can breastfeed her baby by taking medication.

Some Disadvantages of Surrogacy in Iran

As you have read, performing the surrogacy procedure is not a very strange and scary task and it can be done easily in a long period.
This method helps to reduce the divorce rate in Iran and every infertile couple can experience having a baby.
With all the convenience and benefits of surrogacy, just like any other medical procedure, there will be disadvantages.
Iranian culture is such that it has not yet accepted getting pregnant by this method, and people may not hold a good opinion about the person who becomes a surrogate.
In addition, financial disputes may arise between the parties. Or, the family of the surrogate may oppose this decision.
