Rezumat: A surrogate mother is a woman who gives her consent,
on the basis of a notary-approved contract, to carry
a pregnancy and deliver the baby for an infertile
couple and freely give up any parental rights. In many
countries (Spain, Holland, France) this practice is strictly
forbidden by the law, while in others (Belgium, Ucraine,
Georgia) it is allowed. On the other hand, Romania is
currently facing a legislative shortfall in this matter.
Although a set of measures to legalize surrogacy
has been taken since 2012, the issue remains at a
standstill without any answer from the Government.
Not every woman can become a surrogate mother
or a mother receiving a baby born from surrogacy.
The surrogacy bill deposed in 2012 states clearly
that a surrogate must be 18 to 40 years old and the
intended mother 18 to maximum 47 years old. Cuvinte cheie: surrogate mother, birth, an infertile couple.
