Surrogacy (as per legal norms)

Surrogacy is a medical process where another woman (the surrogate mother) carries a pregnancy on behalf of intended parents. In India, surrogacy is strictly regulated under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, ensuring full protection, transparency, and ethical practice for both the surrogate and the intended parents.

Under the expert care of Dr Manmeet Batra, a Fertility Specialist & IVF Expert, the entire surrogacy journey is conducted with legal compliance, medical safety, and complete emotional support at every stage.

What Is Surrogacy?

Surrogacy allows couples with specific medical conditions to have a biological child through a surrogate mother. Only Altruistic and Gestational Surrogacy are legal in India. 

• Altruistic surrogacy means the surrogate does not receive any payment except her medical care and pregnancy-related expenses.
• Gestational surrogacy means the surrogate has no genetic link to the baby because the embryo is created through IVF using the intended parents’ or donor gametes.

Every step in Surrogacy follows:

• Legal screening
• Medical evaluations
• Proper documentation
• Counselling
• Ethical and transparent communication

Eligibility Criteria for Surrogacy

Intended parents must meet the criteria defined under the surrogacy laws in India. Surrogacy is recommended only under specific legal and medical conditions, such as:

• Absence of a uterus or surgical removal of the uterus.
• Severe medical conditions that prevent a safe pregnancy.
• Repeated IVF failures due to uterine factors.
• Serious health risks if the intended mother attempts pregnancy.
• Certain congenital or acquired uterine abnormalities.
• Medical proof of infertility. 

What is the Surrogacy Process?

1. Medical Evaluation & Consultation

Dr Manmeet Batra reviews your medical history, infertility reports, and overall health to determine if surrogacy is legally and medically suitable for you.

2. Legal Compliance & Documentation

Everything is done strictly as per Indian legal guidelines. Surrogacy legal requirements include:

• Eligibility certificates
• Essential medical documents
• Surrogacy board approvals
• Counselling sessions for both parties

3. Selecting & Screening the Surrogate

Once a candidate who meets the legal surrogacy criteria is identified and approved, the surrogate undergoes:

• Medical tests
• Psychological counselling
• Genetic and infectious disease screening
• Fitness evaluation to ensure a safe pregnancy

4. IVF & Embryo Transfer

Your embryo (created using your eggs and partner’s sperm, or donor options where legally permitted) is prepared through IVF. The healthiest embryo is transferred to the surrogate’s uterus in a gentle, painless procedure.

5. Pregnancy Care & Monitoring

Updates are provided to the intended parents regularly. The surrogate receives:

• Regular antenatal check-ups
• Nutrition and prenatal guidance
• Continuous observation for maternal and fetal health

6. Delivery & Legal Handover

Once the baby is born, legal documentation ensures that the child is handed over to the intended parents as per the approved legal process.
