What we offer
Surrogacy is the most complex fertility treatment. To be able to do a Surrogacy process is necessary to count with the help of the Surrogate. She understands and accept the child born is not maternity project of herself, but from the Intended Parents.
The term Intended Parents had its concept developed in the USA with the jurisprudence that indicated those who look, wish and do the fertility treatment to have a child shall be recognized as the natural parents and have recognized the paternal/maternal bond, even in those cases where they need donation of cells (sperm or eggs).
In the Surrogacy history there was a lot of confusion and disagreement between the parties, because at first the Surrogate, in the ¨traditional surrogacy¨, was carrying her genetic material, that is, she was really the biological mother of the child. Nowadays only in the USA this possibility still exists. Realizing that the bond that transcends pregnancy and childbirth can leave a mark on the Surrogate, the legislator in countries such as Brazil, Cuba, Greece, Canada and Portugal established that the Surrogate under no circumstances can add her genetic material. The eggs must be from the Intended Mother or an Egg Bank.
For us at BETTA, undoubtedly, the motivational factor is the central issue in this process. We have thoroughly guided the Surrogates on their role in fulfilling the dream that many people cannot achieve: having a child.
At Betta Institute we defend the human rights and this is the basic principle for us to help a family who wishes to have a child through Surrogacy.
Without the Surrogate there is no treatment and there is not a minimum chance for many families to have a child. We from BETTA know the importance and seriousness of this process. Unfortunately, in human history there are sad realities of children who were stolen from hospital maternities wards around the world so that families who could not have children could fulfill this natural desire.
So, rightfully Surrogacy is how the family can achieve this goal without having to feel that there is a danger of carrying out something illegal. Legislation should ensure that the treatment will be safe for the parties, have ethical principles and the civil registration will be carried out on behalf of the Intended Parents.
You must be conscious Surrogacy is one of the most complex existing medical treatments in the world. Involves many points to be consider, protected, cared, and attended. There is a popular culture that name de treatment as ¨renting¨ a person, thus transmitting a use of the woman’s body to achieve the ultimate goal. It’s not like that. We at Betta, knowing this, take care of all the details so that the Surrogate is treated with dignity and feels the importance of her act in the realization of dreams. Remember, there is no compensations capable to equals the time, dedication, attention and care the Surrogate has with the family and baby who will fulfill everybody’s heart.
