Single Men Turning to Surrogates

Precise figures of surrogacy statistics are somewhat difficult to come by due to the fact that surrogacy is unregulated in the United States and mostly handled through private individuals; however, it is quite clear that in the past year, surrogacy has been experiencing a baby boom. Within this increase in the demand for surrogates has been a steady growth of single men seeking to become fathers via surrogacy.

Often times attempts at adoption for single parents can result in failure or be quite difficult to obtain, regardless of being male or female. These failed attempts at adoption are “emotionally draining,” and as a result, many people turn to surrogacy. The rigorous process of adoption can disqualify many people seeking children in an attempt to ensure that those adopting are appropriate as parents and the right intentions in mind. This is for the safety of the children being adopted, but it can also result in a very rigid and difficult process for those wishing to be single parents, especially males, whether straight or gay.

Gestational surrogacy has increased since IVF was introduced in the early 1980s, and has made surrogacy even more accessible to men opting to become single parents. Often men, both homosexual and straight, realize that they just wish to start a family, with or without marriage.
