Celebs are making surrogacy look like the latest trend, but the reality can be heartbreaking 💬 via ipaperviews
. But we would never allow that to happen in the UK. At the moment, surrogates can only be paid for expenses – but cannot be paid to carry a child. All the couples I have dealt with are genuinely incapable of having children naturally. No one here would help someone who just could not be bothered with pregnancy. If you can’t be bothered with that first step, having children is probably not for you.
If I were to change surrogacy laws, I would make it legal to advertise for surrogates. To get around current laws, people use agencies like mine, independent Facebook groups or ask family and friends to spread the word. Children would have the intended parents on their birth certificates from day one too, especially when the child is biologically theirs. Currently, it can take up to six months for a parental order to be granted. Only at this point does the surrogate’s legal responsibility transfer to the parents.
I would also say surrogate expenses are too much of a grey area. The average nowadays is about £15,000 spread over nine months. Family court judges usually accept this amount, but clarification would be good.are paid for treatment and lawyers are paid for advice, so why shouldn’t surrogates receive payment for all their hard work? To me, that is wrong.
