In
the vast majority of cases surrogacy can be a wonderful experience for all
concerned, but in a few, often well publicised cases it has proved to be traumatic
and far from ideal. COTS strongly believe that unfortunate cases such as these
are, with care, avoidable.
We
strive to ensure that surrogates and intended parents are made aware of all
the implications of surrogacy BEFORE entering into an arrangement.
We
require that surrogates and intended parents see a support worker before going
on the ' active list ' of Triangle. The support workers will ensure that all
parties understand the implications of surrogacy and are going into the arrangement
with their eyes open.
COTS
require all surrogates and intended parents to have medical
tests carried out.
COTS
insist that all surrogates and intended parents have Criminal Record Checks.
This will be explained when our Support worker visits. They will fill in the
necessary forms which you need to sign. You will also need proof of identity.
We
also provide support throughout the arrangement.
All
active surrogates and intended parents receive monthly phone calls from a
COTS Chatliner. The Chatliner's can give both practical advice and moral support.
We
also have helpliners and supporters that members and surrogates can call upon.
