Adoption and surrogacy are both wonderful ways to create or add to families-and we are not necessarily promoting one or the other or stating that either option is "better." However, as a surrogacy agency, we feel it is our responsibility to provide you with some of the reasons people may choose surrogacy vs. adoption. We hope this information will help you determine the route that is best for you.

Many couples want a child that is "theirs." Surrogacy is often the only way for a couple to have a child that has a genetic link to one or both of the Intended Parents. Surrogacy also allows the Intended Parents to become emotionally invested in the pregnancy without the risk that the birth mother will change her mind once the baby is born. In the case of adoption, the numbers may be against the Intended Parents. See similar questions...

Adoption is a wonderful choice for many people. However, surrogacy has a number of practical and medical advantages. When egg and/or sperm from the intended parents are used, there can be an actual genetic relationship to the child. In gestational surrogacies, embryos are created outside the womb through in vitro fertilization (IVF). Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a critically valuable innovation practiced at the more sophisticated medical centers. See similar questions...

If you are not ready to be a parent, you can still give your baby the gift of life by choosing adoption. You can plan your baby’s future by selecting a stable, loving, family to care for your baby. At birth, you can see your baby, name your baby, and love your baby. If you so choose, you can get updates on your child’s progress while you continue your education or career goals.

The birthparents feel at peace knowing they have created the adoption. Ongoing contact through the years enables birthparents to get closure and confirm that they made the best decision for their child. The adoptive parents feel chosen—entitled to parent their child. In addition, because they know the birthparents, they do not fear an unknown figure. The child benefits most of all because they know where they came from and where they belong.

Imaging of the breast improves a physician's ability to detect small tumors. When cancers are small, the woman has more treatment options and a cure is more likely. The use of screening mammography increases the detection of small abnormal tissue growths confined to the milk ducts in the breast, called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). These early tumors cannot harm patients if they are removed at this stage and mammography is the only proven method to reliably detect these tumors. See similar questions...

ASP pages can be written in PERL, VBScript, or JavaScript. PERL files need to be written in PERL. See similar questions...

Adoption is a legal process that permanently places a child with a parent or parents other than the birth parents or parent. An example would be a woman who is pregnant decides to give her baby up for adoption to a couple who cannot have their own children. She carries the baby to full term, delivers the baby, and the couple then becomes the baby's parents. There are a wide variety of adoption situations. See similar questions...
