If all these restricting factors are overcome, India can surely emerge as a leader in international surrogacy.

1. Surrogacy in India-A Booming Outsourcing Business
http://www.dranoopgupta.com/
The industry of surrogacy has seen a tremendous rise in the recent years in India. Serving the
foreign couples who are in dire need for surrogate mothers has been the prime focus of this
business and it has end being one of the successful outsourcing business prospect in India.
Neither the abroad clients (parents) nor Indian birth mothers who are willing to undertake this
job has diminished in the past years, ensuring a steady supply of both providers and customers.
These factors have contributed towards Surrogate mothers In India accounting for high rates
of compensation and thus making the business of surrogacy boom.
Another aspect of attraction that explains why the foreign countries have taken interest in hiring
Surrogate mothers In India because the charges of surrogacy in India is just a tiny fraction of
what the same business charges in abroad. The costs of Indian Surrogacy is in fact so low, that
it only accounts for one-tenth of what is offered as the normal accepted rates in the countries of
U.S or U.K. The price rates of surrogate mothers vary from around $10000 to $30000 in the
foreign countries while in India the charges of the entire process of expenses to birth range from
$2500-$6500. The business of commercial surrogacy had been legalized long ago in India and
thus, there isn’t much fuss of legal issues involved in these matters. In spite of the charges of
surrogacy not being extravagant, the advanced medical conditions and an increased population
of English-speaking people have enabled India to differ in a positive way from other potentially
lower cost countries.
The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) have laid down quite a few rules and
regulations to be strictly followed under all circumstances of surrogacy to ensure the proper
maintenance of health of the Surrogate mothers In India along with the happiness of the
expectant couple. The guidelines have mentioned that first of all, before deducing anything, an
agreement must be drawn between the surrogate and the expectant. A surrogate, who is over
45 years of age and has not undergone all the essential tests that negate the possibilities of
HIV, cannot apply for the job of surrogacy. The person may not necessarily be a stranger to the
expectant couple as a relative or a person well known by the expectant parents might also be a
surrogate mother. However, the regulations have clearly advised that no women should
undergo surrogacy more than three times in one lifetime.
The lack of legal authenticity has prohibited people from taking these guidelines seriously. The
Indian government should take some crucial steps to provide these surrogate mothers with all
the required reproductive facilities and technologies in order to make sure that the couples who
go for surrogacy treatments always have 100% safe environment. Other than that, the legal
rights of the Surrogate mothers In India should be effectively penned down so that they
cannot be violated or exploited by anyone and the business remains fair for everyone. If all
these restricting factors are overcome, India can surely emerge as a leader in international
surrogacy.
