Is it feasible for me to become a surrogate for one of my siblings?

Yes, you can become an altruistic surrogate for your brother or sister. Sibling surrogacy is the most common type of charitable surrogacy practice.

Because becoming a surrogate is an act of kindness and charity unlike any other, your surrogacy journey will stay with you for the rest of your life.

Surrogates give the gift of life and parenthood to persons who would not be able to enjoy those joys on their own, even if they are compensated.

However, not all surrogates do it for the money; many do it exclusively for the benefit of their loved ones who are unable to conceive or carry a child to term without risking difficulties.

Fortunately, altruistic surrogacy is an option if the intended parents already have a qualified candidate.

The only caveat is that this person must still meet fundamental requirements and have legal status to participate in surrogacy agreements.

Surprisingly, a female sibling frequently comes to a couple's aid, offering to bear a child on their behalf.


What is altruistic surrogacy?

Monetary payment is not included in every surrogacy agreement. It may seem unfathomable, but many surrogates volunteer to become pregnant solely for the sake of others, with motivations based solely on an admirable excess of generosity.

Although this is the short definition of altruistic surrogacy, it does not imply that this sort of surrogacy is free.


The intended parents will still be responsible for paying for the surrogacy; however, they will have more financial freedom under the contract because the surrogate will not be compensated.


Can an altruistic surrogate be a sibling?

Yes, to put it briefly. Altruistic surrogates can be siblings, and they're the most prevalent.

Using a family member is preferred in many circumstances because the surrogate and the intended parents have a deep relationship.

Emotional ties are just as important as genetic ties, especially during pregnancy's emotional rollercoaster. There's also a sense of security when picking a surrogate sister over someone you don't know well.


Things to consider before becoming a surrogate for a sibling

Most importantly, you should make sure you're healthy enough to give birth to healthy children, which means younger women are better options.

Although it is technically conceivable for middle-aged women to be surrogates, it is not recommended because the chances of a successful in-vitro fertilization treatment are reduced.


That isn't to imply that mature women having children isn't a good thing. The facts and figures, backed up by scientific studies, plainly reveal that younger women have a better probability of having a healthy pregnancy.


How to become a surrogate for a sibling

To maximize the chances of a successful outcome, we use a thorough screening process. We ask for patience from our surrogates and intended parents as we go through each phase.

To be a surrogate, you don't have to be in your twenties. The best age range for being a surrogate is 18 to 40 years old. It's also preferable if you have a healthy BMI of less than 32 but greater than 18.


Nonetheless, the most excellent surrogacy candidates have no history of pregnancy or delivery difficulties and do not use drugs or alcohol. Surrogates must also be non-smokers who live in a non-smoking environment.


You must, of course, live in a state with favorable surrogacy legislation. The state in question, in particular, needs to have unambiguous paternity and parentage laws.

Some states, for example, require a pre-birth parentage order, while others do not, requiring intending parents to adopt the kid traditionally.

Finally, witnessing the road to surrogacy is a joy, especially when the surrogate is a sibling doing it out of love.
