Not always a woman, whether she is a celebrity or an ordinary person, has the opportunity to bear a healthy child. In such cases, the chance to become a mother remains - a surrogate mother can give birth to a genetically native baby.
Fictitious stories of Russian stars and public figures who used the services of surrogate motherhood, tells Teleprogramma.
Alena Apina, singer
The only daughter of singer Ksenia is 15 years old (girl with mom in the photo above). Apina did not hide the fact that she used the procedure of surrogate motherhood. The singer talked about this, so desperate women, exhausted by the ineffective IVF, knew that they also had a chance to become mothers. Alain has been treated for infertility for seven years. The singer really wanted to become a mother, but she couldn’t endure the first pregnancy: “The wanderings around the doctors began - there were a few more attempts that ended in failure.” Apina went through all the procedures recommended by the doctors: IVF, “bombing” with hormones (the singer either got better or lost weight), but everything was in vain. The last chance is surrogacy, the doctor advised Alena to imitate the pregnancy in order to hide the fact of surrogacy as the majority. But Apina decided to do otherwise.
In an interview, the singer said: "I have spent more than a month in hospitals and know how many women suffer from infertility, and I want to support them with my example."
Alena decided that the surrogate mother would not be a Muscovite, as the ecology in the capital is bad. Apina told in an interview that this woman and her husband worked as research workers and received very little salary, raised two children. Alyona flew to this city, was constantly in touch with a woman who was carrying her child. The singer noted that if she did not have the financial opportunity to use the services of a surrogate mother, she would have made a similar request to her relatives.
Olga Slutsker, business woman
In February, 2013, Olga Slutsker became the mother of twin girls - Katy and Masha. Slutsker did not hide the fact that health does not allow her to bear children on her own. That is why Katya and Masha, like her older children from her first marriage (Anya and Misha), were born by a surrogate mother.
In an interview with Ksenia Sobchak, Olga Slutsker said that she chose a surrogate mother from three candidates: “She is a very positive woman, young, large, healthy, modern, not some aunt-like”.
“I liked the warmth with which she spoke about her daughter, how adequately she answered the questions. She honestly said that she wanted to join this program, because it was very easy for her to carry her child, that she was ready to endure, and that she wanted to create normal conditions for her daughter to live, because her current job and salary do not allow her to do so. And of course, I was bribed by the fact that she is very responsible. ”
Slutsker reported that after the birth she did not communicate with the surrogate mother, but in the future she will tell her daughters about it.
Alla Pugacheva, singer
Liza and Harry Galkin (children in the photo above) gave birth to a surrogate mother, Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin - biological parents of twins. Alla Borisovna froze the egg before it even officially married Maxim Galkin.
In an interview, Maxim Galkin talked about a surrogate mother: “We remained unknown to each other. It is clear that a surrogate mother can guess, but to remain incognito for each other is the ethics of this relationship ... ”.
Spouses monitored the health and the course of pregnancy of the surrogate mother of their children, took care that she did not need anything.
Who else from celebrities used the services of surrogate motherhood? Philip Kirkorov, Nicole Kidman, Robert De Niro, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ricky Martin, Cristiano Ronaldo, Elton John.
fees
Use the services of surrogate motherhood can wealthy people. But for some childless couples this is the only way to become parents, so relatives help with money, people save money, refusing to travel and other pleasures.
In Russia, surrogate motherhood costs from 1 million rubles (in regions) to 1,5 - 2 million rubles (in Moscow). This cost includes legal support of the procedure, IVF of a surrogate mother, her remuneration (most often 600-800 thousand rubles, in rare cases up to 1 million), monthly maintenance (from 20 thousand rubles) and medical support during pregnancy and childbirth.
Our wealthy compatriots often use the services of surrogate mothers abroad. Often, California or Florida are chosen for this procedure (in these states, the US is the most loyal legislation regarding surrogate motherhood).
The cost of foreign surrogacy consists of payment: legal support (6 - 8 Thousands of Dollars)agency fee (5 - 15 Thousands of Dollars), IVF cost (10 thousand dollars), surrogate mother benefits during pregnancy (from 2,5 thousand dollars per month)surrogate mother's one-time remuneration (20 - 30 Thousands of Dollars)childbirth (5 - 10 thousand dollars depending on the clinics and doctor). Thus, the surrogacy procedure in America will cost an average 60 - 75 thousand dollars (3,4 - 4,2 million rubles).
- Help
Surrogate motherhood is an adjunctive reproductive technology in which three people take part in conceiving and having a child: a genetic father and mother and a surrogate mother (a woman who agreed to donate or give birth to a child from genetic parents for money and who does not claim to be the mother of this child ). After a child is born, genetic parents are registered as legal parents. Surrogate maternity is possible when using IVF in clinics of the appropriate profile: an egg cell fertilized in a test tube is transferred to the uterus of a surrogate mother during the first 3-5 days of embryo development.
