The first ever case of a surrogate parent made headlines in 1976. Not only were in vitro fertilization and artificial insemination in human beings in their embryonic stages as procedures, but the ramifications of these technologies quickly dawned upon all: Now, those intended parents who could not conceive, produce fertile eggs, and/or carry a child to term had a window opened to them where a door had been shut—through seeking a surrogate parent. Fast-forward nearly four decades, and surrogacy is now so commonplace that it has dropped out of the headlines, along with in vitro fertilization and artificial insemination. In fact, far from the seemingly Orwellian blurbs of the 1970s media, the chance to become a surrogate in California offers a unique win-win gift for others—a gift that is itself a headline in its own right, far from the spotlight of the media but shining brightly on the hearts of those touched by it.
Now is the best time ever to consider the gift to become a surrogate in California, as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention unofficial statistics have shown nearly a nationwide doubling of children born to birth surrogates from 734 in 2004 to 1,400 in 2008. California leads the nation in the average annual number of children born to surrogate parents. In addition, recent California legislation has torn down the roadblocks to same-sex partners benefitting from the aid a surrogate parent can offer.
Further groundbreaking news is that Tagg Romney, eldest son of Republican Presidential Nominee, Mitt Romney, and his wife, Jen, recently announced the birth of surrogate twins—their second successful experience with a surrogate parent—their son, Jonathan, having been born in 2010 by a surrogate.
Now that your chance to become a surrogate in California has demonstrated such viability, the question is not whether you can be part of the giving solution that is surrogacy, but how do you proceed? A reliable and reputable surrogate parent agency has years of experience with surrogacy in all its forms, dating all the way back to the initial days of surrogacy. Successful and caring surrogate agencies distinguish themselves by the number of surrogate babies they’ve helped bring to term, a track record of their willingness to be open to intended parents of all backgrounds, the number of surrogate mothers in their screening process, and their location, on the ground, right here in California.
Consider all these factors as you ponder the gift of life you can bear and become a surrogate parent. California intended parents from all walks of life are looking to you to help their dreams of a family come true.
