what happens if a surrogate mother get attach to the babythat she is carrying?
here's the just a conflict I made up in my mind
say I was a surrogate mother and over the months I've grown attach to the baby that I'm carrying for someone else and I decide to keep the baby that was already promise to someone elses what will happen?
or
what would happen if the surrogate mother finds out that she can't have anymore children after she gives birth to one she is carrying so she want to call off the agreement. what will happen to her?What happens if a surrogate mother get attach to the baby that she is carrying?
Most of the times when a surrogate mother is approached by a couple, a contract is drawn up along with a lawyer so that it all is in writing. From how much they will be paid to how the doctor visits will be covered.
If they are carrying someone else's egg and sperm then they have no choice but to give up the child. Legally it is not hers and therefore has no rights to the child.
If the egg is hers then that is something to be in the contract. It has to be detailed and explained as to how it will all go. The way her rights are will depend on how the contract is.
If it must, then it might hit the courts. I have looked into it before for my sister and it was really confusing.
Exactly the reasons why I don't condone surrogacy.What happens if a surrogate mother get attach to the baby that she is carrying?
Depends on the state that she lives in. If in MN, she can keep the baby, but will have to share custody with the father. This is because MN does not enforce surrogate agreements. Legally, the child belongs to the woman who gives birth to it, and it's up to that surrogate to give up her parental rights.
Texas, on the other hand, does enforce surrogate agreements and the baby would be taken from you if the egg is not yours. If the egg is yours, then you would be expected to pay for 1/2 of the IUI or IVF costs back to the other couple and the father would retain shared custody.
If the surrogate mother finds out she can't have any more children, too bad. That is why most surrogate lawyers won't even deal with women who have not yet had a child of their own. There is always the risk of a hysterectomy due to bleeding.
Make sure you are certain as to what situation you are talking aobut. Surrogate vs. relenquishing rights thru adoption. Surrogacy is you carrying a baby for someone else made from the egg and sperm of another couple. The egg does not belong to you. If you are a surrogate, you have no right to keep the baby.
If you are pregnant and decide to give your baby up for adoption, you agree on a family before the baby is born. You can change you mind and keep the baby when it is born. You have a certain # of days to claim the baby. I'm not sure what the # of days you have is, but there is still a period of time that you can reclaim it.
If that is not her egg then she has no rights. If it is her egg but she signed some sort of aggreement she has a good chance of retaining custody.
I'm sorry, I don't have the full info to answer your question, but I would like to share a story with you that may help solve some of these issues:
My mom was born with a congenital heart defect in 1964. She had a hole in one of the valves. Thankfully, the technology to fix this problem had just been tested out, and she become one of the first babies to live through this sort of problem. She was advised never to have children biologically because it would be incredibly dangerous for her health. However, four years after she married my dad, she became pregnant with me. She did want children, so she went through with the pregnancy. I was born six and a half weeks early and she almost died. After my birth, her uterus was really screwed up and she couldn't have kids anymore. So when I was three, she found a surrogate mother in California, named Jodi. (We live in Massachusetts.) After a year and a half of trying, Jodi finally got pregnant. Although her life was a really difficult one (she wanted a divorce, her husband didn't love her anymore, she had a bad financial situation, her two young sons had developmental problems,) she said that she never felt attached to my sister, Julia. In fact, a few months after the birth, she stopped contacting us. We've talked to her over the years but she doesn't seem interesting in pursuing a relationship.
I wouldn't worry about it - surrogates rarely get attached to the children they are carrying.
Who eggs?
depends on if your using your eggs or hers, you cant keep her baby
