Having children naturally is not an option for everyone. Today, surrogacy is becoming an increasingly popular option for those who need help extending their family. The scenario in this video, with Brooke Collawn (surrogate) and Tara Morris (mother-to-be) working together to make parenthood possible, is becoming much more common in the local area.
With the increase in surrogate assistance, it’s important for families to consult with doctors and attorneys to ensure the process is smooth and agreements are secure. Richmond surrogacy attorney, Colleen Quinn, has helped thousands of families over the past decade and she continues to see a rise in surrogacy cases.
Quinn notes that the process can involve many steps, typically including:
- A background check
- OB/GYN clearance
- Psychological screenings
- and more
There are occasionally issues that come up during the process, such as surrogates getting attached to the child while carrying. But, with the right measures being taken in the beginning stages of the process, the chances of running into problems like that are significantly lowered. Everything about the surrogacy process should be discussed during this time, from whether or not drinking wine occasionally is acceptable to issues such as pro-life versus pro-choice.
