How To Help Childless Couples In Your Own Way

By Stella Marryasiano


Raising a child is one of the most fulfilling things in life. The sad thing is, according to recent statistics, 20% of couples are not able to conceive. These childless couples can have a child through assisted reproduction. If you wish to be part of the solution to help couples who are childless despite multiple attempts, here are some options.

Consider surrogacy You can provide couples with involuntary childlessness a chance of having a kid of their own by serving as a surrogate mother. There are several good things one can get from being a surrogate. First, offering to carry out a pregnancy is the best gift humanly possible you can provide a childless couple, and for that reason it can provide you with a wonderful sense of self-fulfillment. As unusual as this may look to you, some ladies love the experience of pregnancy. They find the experience so incredible that they want to do it again. Being a surrogate allows them to feel the wonders of pregnancy, while also doing something altruistic.

Altruistic surrogacy is basically helping childless couples without financial gain, but, the surrogate usually is provided with payment for the costs associated with the pregnancy and birth, and nothing more. However, in a few states, some surrogates are given around $20,000 to $25,000, sometimes more, to carry and deliver a child that may or may not be genetically related to them. In such situation, it is known as commercial surrogacy.

Surrogacy is a arduous, lengthy, and emotional technique. Hence, if you wish to become a surrogate mother, you must pass stringent mental and physical health screening before you start. Reputable surrogate agencies facilitate or administer these screening services, along with counseling and legal counsel.

Be an egg donor Egg donors experience an intense sense of pride from being a great help to a childless couple. Like with surrogacy, not all females can try egg donation. Programs can be different with regards to what qualities are favored, but typically, egg donors must be a particular age, usually between 21 and 35. Some programs like to have donors who have already have children, have been a surrogate before, or made an egg donation in the past.

Egg donation will also entail several medical visits, which will include physical and psychological assessment, before you are taken into the program. The donation will only happen once you are screened, accepted, matched with a woman who will receive your eggs, and have provided your consent.

Without a doubt, it requires a special and caring lady to consider helping couples who are unable to have a child. Although both opportunities to help others are not free from risk, nothing is better than playing an active role in granting a family's dream.
