Gestational Surrogacy in Asia
- 16
- February
Gestational Surrogacy in Asia is one form of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) in Asia, using IVF to create embryos using the eggs from the intended mother or an egg donor and sperm from intended father or a sperm donor that is then placed in a surrogate mother’s uterus. This treatment has become very popular in Asia because of the much lower costs than in western countries. In the U.S., for instance, a typical IVF treatment with an egg donor and surrogate mother can exceed $150,000. In Asia, this same fertility treatment is about one fourth the cost.
Typically, intended parents from Australia, the U.S., Canada, Europe, China, Singapore, Taiwanese, and Hong Kong are among the top countries travelling to Asia in seek of gestational surrogacy through IVF and perhaps an egg donor. There are other reasons why intended parents from these countries go to Asia for fertility treatment other than cost. It is estimated that over 200 Australian couples travel to Asia for fertility treatment. One of the main reasons why so many Australians go to Asia is because surrogacy is not legal in many Australian states. Additionally, before China made it legal for couples to have a second child, many Chinese intended parents travelled to Asia for fertility treatment so they could have a second or even third child. Another popular reason why people from these countries go to Asia to have a baby is the fact they are gay. Many countries around the world do not permit gay couples to do surrogacy with egg donation.
Gestational Surrogacy in Asia became popular about a decade ago. It started in India and then moved to Thailand, where medical tourism is very popular and then it moved to Cambodia, and now even Laos has opened its doors to gestational surrogacy. Most of these southeast Asian countries have experienced Thai doctors who have opened fertility clinics in these countries after Thailand banned the practice two years ago. These fertility doctors bring profound experience, state of the art medical equipment and supplies, and funding to these less developed countries.
The great thing about gestational surrogacy in Asia is it is a win-win situation between the surrogate mother and the intended parent/s. The surrogate money receives money that will help her and her family improve their lives. Many times the money she receives can be used to send her children to college or to help a family business or to pay other bills she has. The win situation for the intended parent/s is in receiving the miracle of getting their baby.
Gestational Surrogacy in Asia is a great option for many intended parents. Not only is there a cost savings and an option to have a baby where it might not be legal to do so in one’s country, it is also a great place to travel to. Most Asian countries such as Thailand have exotic beaches with white sand and sunny clear, blue skies. Furthermore, the cultures in many Asian countries are warm and welcoming and their currencies are typically much lower in value to western currencies making their money go a long way.
