The High Cost of Lower Cost International Surrogacy-Part 2 of 2

In addition to many the human rights concerns, surrogacy arrangements in the developing world can also be challenging in terms of the geographical distance, language barrier, and cultural differences, making it difficult for well-meaning intended parents from abroad to cultivate deep relationships with their surrogate. This divide also hampers the conscious intended parent from offering emotional support to the surrogate, and insuring that during her pregnancy, she is receiving access to the best nutrition and health care on the planet. For these reasons, many parents opt to contract with more reputable, highly regulated agencies in the US or UK. Agencies, such as West Coast Surrogacy, connect their clients face to face with potential surrogates, and encourage frequent, open dialogue between all parties throughout the pregnancy. West Coast Surrogacy takes great care in screening each potential surrogate for psychological and emotional well being, physical health, a history of bringing babies full term, a stable home environment, and a commitment to a healthy pregnancy. Every WCS surrogate must have regular prenatal care, live a healthy lifestyle and avoid any high-risk behaviors. Such careful screening results in top-notch surrogates who are treated well, have overwhelmingly positive experiences and who often come back to have the experience all over again.



In addition to high expectations, WCS surrogates are also expected to have regular phone and email contact with the agency and the intended parents. Frequently, the bonds that are forged throughout the process result in the parties desiring to continue the relationship, long after the arrival of the new life they've created together.
