Common misconceptions about surrogacy

There are an incredible number of myths and legends surrounding surrogacy. For the most part, these myths are just that.

The misconceptions are based on an understandable fact – ignorance of laws and rules of the medical procedure.

There is a widespread belief that surrogacy is banned at the state level.

It has never been prohibited by law. All the rules of the procedure are stated in the Family Code, the Law on Civil Status Acts, and other legislative acts.

Many people believe that a surrogate fetus shares genes with a surrogate mother.

This is a common misconception. There is not and cannot be any genetic relationship between the surrogate mother and the child. The mother and child have different blood systems. A surrogate fetus is not the mother’s own child.

It is believed that a child carried by a surrogate mother can inherit her external and physical characteristics.

Since the baby carried by a surrogate mother is not her own child, she cannot inherit any external and physical characteristics from her.

Some people believe that children born from surrogate mothers have certain mutations and a greater predisposition to various diseases because the insemination process was performed artificially.

In fact, the process of artificial insemination reproduces the process of natural pregnancy as accurately as possible.

After the delivery, the surrogate mother writes a receipt for the rejection of the child.

Since the surrogate mother is not the child’s blood mother, the baby’s biological parents are registered in the birth book. In this case, no application for a waiver shall be filed.

In order to use the surrogate mother services, the couple should necessarily be married.

It is a widespread myth. According to the Family Code, a surrogate mother can be used by officially married couples, cohabiting couples, and single women.

Many people believe that unmarried men cannot use the services of a surrogate mother.

According to the Family Code, single men can participate in a surrogacy program on the same basis as single women. This eliminates the possibility of gender discrimination.

If the surrogate mother changes her mind about giving up the baby, she can keep it.

In fact, this is not the case. It is possible to prove or disprove maternity or paternity in court.
