The new directives require that a medical clinical assessment of the surrogate mother be made if she has had any medical history posing a risk to surrogacy.
They also require a clinical interview with the surrogate mother’s children to prepare them for the surrogacy journey and also take care of the minor children’s emotional needs. A clinical psychological assessment of a surrogate mother is always conducted.
The case involved a couple who could not have children and sought to enter into a second surrogacy agreement with a woman who carried their first child that was born in May 2021. The surrogate mother and her partner are married and have two children of their own, aged 10 and seven. She has had three surrogate pregnancies since 2019, leading to a miscarriage in one, the birth of twins in the second and the birth of the present commissioning parent’s first child last year.
“How does a surrogate pregnancy affect the surrogate mother’s own child/children? — this bearing in mind that they watch her pregnancy for nine months, they know she is carrying a child, they see her going to a hospital to deliver the baby and then she comes back home without a baby in her arms.
