A proper agreement will take care of all of your concerns. I will address any and all concerns you have, and make sure your contract is clearly explained to you.

Financial Responsibilities of the Intended Parents

The intended parents should be responsible for all expenses related to the donation arrangement. These expenses include medical expenses related to the procedure (doctor visits, blood tests, drugs, retrieval) travel expenses if required (airfare, hotel, meals) legal expenses (attorney fees) and compensation for your pain and suffering. The agreement will dictate exactly what the recipient couple will be responsible for financially. I will make sure that your compensation is not taxable.

duties of a donor

The contract will spell out exactly what your responsibilities are during the donation process. You will be required to make your scheduled doctor visits and comply with the doctor’s orders. You will be required to give yourself medication. You may be required to travel and to take time off work to make your appointments. I will make sure you understand what is expected of you and make sure you are comfortable with the contract.

parenting responsibilities of the intended parents

The contract will provide that the intended parents have all parental rights. It is their responsibility to provide for the child. You will sign away any rights you might have. This is important because you do not want to be responsible for any child support for the child and the intended parents want to be the only parents of the child.

risks involved

Surrogacy involves surgical procedures. There are always risks involved in a procedure of this kind. There are risks associated with childbirth. The intended parents will want you to release them from any potential liability if anything bad happens. A standard contract will contain this provision. Rest assured that you would not sign away the right to sue the doctor for any potential malpractice.
