Every family has a path to having a child and surrogacy is an alternative that, for many people, represents the possibility of fulfilling a dream.
While questions or concerns often arise regarding legal, ethical, or personal issues, it’s part of the process to understand the different types of surrogacy and how this technology offers a valid and wonderful avenue for life to express itself. At Fertivida, we believe that every life begins with love and that technology can be a powerful ally in this process.
Every human being has the DESERVED MERIT of being able to have a child.
Surrogacy, also known as surrogacy, consists of a woman carrying a baby in her womb that, at birth, will be given to the intended parents.
In Colombia, it only applies to carry out the
• Gestational surrogacy: In this case, the embryo is created through in vitro fertilization (IVF), using eggs and sperm from the intended parents or donors. It is then transferred to the uterus of the gestational carrier, who has no genetic link to the baby.
This method is often preferred for offering greater legal and emotional clarity. Since the baby has no genetic link with the pregnant carrier and biologically is the child of its intended parents with or without the help of donated gametes.
Will the surrogate mother have any bond with the baby?
In the case of gestational surrogacy, the surrogate mother does not provide genetic material, which minimizes biological ties and facilitates the emotional process.
Is it safe for the baby?
The health and well-being of the baby are priorities at every stage. At Fertivida, this security begins before fertilization.
When we use donated gametes in our strict selection process, only 2 or 3 out of 10 donor candidates are approved. In addition to karyotype, we always perform a CGT-plus test for carriers of recessive genetic conditions, which detects 526 conditions and a genetic match is made with the intended father. This is so as not to transmit avoidable genetic conditions.
In addition, all embryos are sampled from cells to ensure that the number of chromosomes in the embryo is correct. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis or PGTA.
We always recommend transferring a single embryo for the safety of the gestational carrier and the baby.
From embryo development to medical follow-up during pregnancy, all necessary measures are taken to ensure a safe and healthy birth. Prenatal control and birth is always through prepaid medicine policies, always seeking the greatest security for all parties.
Surrogacy is, in essence, an act of collaboration and love that has been reflected in humanity since biblical times. Every life that begins through this method is proof of how science and humanity can work together to give hope and joy to those who wish to start a family.
At Fertivida, we accompany intended parents and gestational carriers with empathy and knowledge, because we believe that every family deserves to fulfill their dream of having a child. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.
