From Spain: another message of support for the " Surrogacy builds Families" campaign...

We are forever thankful for the continued messages of support coming from families around the world, here is another heartfelt message

Dear SCI team,

We want to let you know once again our gratitude for all that we have achieved a real family.
It's been a year since the birth of our twins, and we are extremely happy with them. They are adorable.

Sometimes we remember with great emotion and affection of the moments in India, especially the meeting we had with our surrogate. 

It was very exciting, just a glance told us everything, and we did not speak the same language. We will be forever grateful for giving 

us the greatest of our lives.









  We hope that many more families can achieve their dream in future and your team continue to make dreams a reality.

Best Wishes

Jorge, Raquel; Diego y Nicolás

More support from SCI Families' and fantastic media coverage for INSTAR Surrogacy Walk and workshop

We are blessed to have so many SCI families willing to make statements  and videos supporting their surrogate and surrogacy in India to coincide with the INSTAR surrogacy walk and workshop. Here is yet another example...

MESSAGE FROM AUSTRALIA:

Surrogacy provides a life-fulfilling opportunity to parents who are incapable of initiating their dream of building a family. Without surrogates, their understanding, willingness and dedication, countless desirous parents would be left without any hope. 

Our story demonstrates the degree of the blessing that surrogacy can provide: we have gone through about 20 IVF cycles over 5 years, had multiple miscarriages and had no family to show for our commitment. We wanted so much to have a family, and the failures were depressing. 

When we found out about Indian surrogacy, a light came into our life. We travelled to India, met the clinic and questioned their processes, procedures and the level of commitment to surrogate care. We witnessed a system that worked, it satisfied us that the needs of surrogates, their families and ambitions were being delivered. The quality of care that we saw convinced us to use our chosen surrogacy centre with confidence and faith.

During our cycles, SCI was clear on their commitment to the health and well-being of our surrogate. We were comfortable in the knowledge that they were getting excellent care from the high quality Indian doctors and nurses. 

As a couple, we travelled the world and enjoyed other blessings in our life. However, nothing whatsoever matched the joy of  having our babies. Our young men are with us today THANKS to Indian surrogacy.

Please do not stop the good deed Indian surrogates, doctors and nurses are doing.

Signed, 

M&S Australia

Many of our surrogates participated in the surrogacy walk with the SCI team and we are very pleased with the media coverage, some of which can be seen below:

INSTAR PRESS RELEASE : Surrogacy builds Families

INDIA takes a GLOBAL ROLE in Third Party Reproduction with INSTAR (Indian Society for Third Party Assisted Reproduction) hosting two National events on the 20th of April.

This walk challenges the notion that Surrogate mothers are abandoned by their families and their husbands as they are doing surrogacy. It challenges the notion that the family looks down upon surrogate mothers.
This walk demonstrates that in fact the husbands and family members of Surrogate Mothers have come out in their support .

ART BANKS of Indian origin, Caucasian origin and African Origin Egg donors will give their views - for The FIRST TIME IN INDIA. According to the Banks the problems that arise are due to a minority of unscrupulous elements claiming to be ART Banks. This is done to cut costs of treatment as they don’t have complete paperwork etc. Only registered Companies who have applied for registration with the ICMR should be used by doctors and patients, this will go a long way in reducing the problems.

Standardised DOCUMENTATION for Surrogacy will be given - this is for reference purpose and has been vetted by Legal and Medical Experts in the Relevant field and is in LOCAL Language and is an extension of the ICMR guidelines especially for post-delivery care of the surrogate mothers and counselling for the process
