In the news:Major Swedish newspaper features a Circle surrogate who delivered twins for a Swedish couple
Excerpts from "Family happiness due to surrogate mother"
"Most surrogate mothers are engaged by one of the many agencies that e xist in countries where it is legal. There are currently around hundreds of such organizations. Svenska Dagbladet has been in contact with one of the largest U.S. agencies, Circle Surrogacy, whose surrogate mothers have so far given birth to the 280 children for couples and single in 32 different countries. Six of the children have been delivered for Swedish couples, and four more are in the pipeline. Today, [the agency] has 70 different women who are actively engaged by them. The requirements to become a surrogate mother are high: In addition to being healthy and having no criminal record, the women must have given birth to their children, have a good support network and be in decent financial situation. They are also [psychologically] tested by special experts. Only one in 30 applicants are being accepted. Prospective parents can expect to pay approximately half a million kronor for the service (roughly $70,000). Surrogate mother compensation varies between 120,000 and 180,000 kronor."
Utdrag ur "Familjelycka tack vare surrogatmor" "Flertalet kvinnor som arbetar som surrogatmödrar är anställda av någon av de många förmedlingar som finns i länder där detta är lagligt. Totalt finns idag runt hundratalet sådana organisationer. SvD har varit i kontakt med en av de största amerikanska för- medlingarna, circlesurrgacy, vars surrogatmödrar hittills fött fram 280 barn till väntande par och ensamstående i 32 olika länder. Sex av barnen har förmedlats till svenska par, ytterligare fyra stycken är på gång. Idag har förmedlingen 70 olika kvinnor som arbetar för dem. Kraven för att bli antagen som surrogatmamma är höga: Förutom att vara friska och ostraffade måste kvinnorna ha fött egna barn, ha anhöriga som stödjer dem och en hyfsad egen ekonomi. De testas också ingående av speciell expertis. Bara en på 30 sökande blir antagna. Blivande föräldrar får räkna med att betala motsvarande cirka en halv miljon kronor för tjänsten. Surrogatmammans ersättning varierar mellan 120000 och 180000 kronor. 500000 kronor kostar det ungefär att bli förälder med hjälp av en surrogat- mamma." Varför ville du bli surrogatmamma? Nio frågor itll Susan Norton, surrogatmamma från USA som nyligen fött tvillingpojkar på beställning från ett svenskt par.
