Surrogate Motherhood Program

The main task to be accomplished by the surrogacy center is to coordinate the relationship between genetic parents and surrogate mothers and make sure that the rights of both parties are respected.

To launch a surrogate motherhood program, genetic parents are expected to enter into the contract with the Surrogate motherhood Center "La Vita Felice" , under which they will be offered a choice of surrogate mother candidates.

Surrogate motherhood program. Stage 1

• The Surrogate Motherhood Center "La Vita Felice" shall provide for the database of the surrogate mothers, which contains the data on candidates of surrogate mothers and oocyte donors (photographs and general data). This database will enable genetic parents to choose candidacies they may find acceptable.
• Basing on the interview and psychological testing results, the psychologist of the Center will draw a conclusion as to admission of a particular surrogate mother to the surrogate motherhood program.
• The surrogate motherhood center will carry out, on its account, the comprehensive medical examination of surrogate mother and oocyte donor candidates in order to see whether they are fit for participation in the surrogate motherhood program under the medical aspect. The work on preparation of a surrogate mother for the program may not be initiated without a prior approval of her candidacy by the genetic parents . Considering that this procedure is quite costly, while the results of certain analyses become no longer valid some days later, it appears unnecessary to conduct a thorough medical examination beforehand.
• Should the candidacy of a surrogate mother or oocyte donor be found acceptable in every way by genetic parents, the Child Carrying Contract would need to be signed between the surrogate mother and the genetic parents, under which the surrogate mother will provide her services.
