The Wall Street Journal recently wrote about American’s finding surrogates in India who will give birth to their child. They tell the story of the Wiles, who tried for four years to get pregnant in vain, before they decided to use an Indian surrogate.
What’s interesting is that there seems to be a rapid growth in this field in India. Just since 2005 the number of facilities offering surrogacy has tripled to know a total of 350. This year about 1500 surrogate pregnancies are being done in India, of which about one third comes from overseas. Last year, it were only about 1000 surrogate pregnancies.
"I was devastated and so was my husband after being told by my fertility specialist at age 38 that I had no option but to consider adoption or donor eggs (according to my doctor I was out of eggs and gave me 4% chance of getting pregnant and a 2% chance of carrying a baby to full term). After much research and dozens of hours reading infertility related articles and posts online, I have found your book! [...] After one month of trying I became pregnant and had a beautiful healthy boy. Nine months after that I did everything in your book again and after 2 months of trying I got pregnant again and gave birth to another perfect little boy."
