There are many reasons why women consider becoming Surrogates. The primary motivation cited by Surrogates is a deep sympathy for those unable to have children on their own. Often, women are inspired by compassion for friends, co-workers, or relatives who have experienced infertility or pregnancy loss. Some Surrogates feel empathy for gay or lesbian friends and family members who face additional challenges in building their families, including prejudices from certain adoption agencies. Even after those close to them become parents, the desire to help others in similar situations often remains strong.
Surrogates typically have a history of uncomplicated and enjoyable pregnancies. They value the gift of parenthood and usually have healthy, supportive relationships with their spouse or partner (if applicable). Many Surrogates have a general desire to help others and view surrogacy as an opportunity to make a meaningful impact. While Surrogates receive compensation, Family Source believes that financial incentive should not be the primary motivator.
In summary, personal gratification and financial compensation are significant benefits of surrogacy for women who enjoy being pregnant, are prepared for the physical and mental aspects of pregnancy and childbirth, are confident they will not form a maternal attachment to the child, are willing to follow an intensive medication protocol (including injections), and have a stable and supportive home environment.
