Here’s something you might not know: D.C. is one of the few places in the country that criminalizes surrogacy agreements, the practice by which a person or couple that cannot produce a child of their own via traditional means work with a woman who can.
Today D.C. Councilmember David Catania (I-At Large) introduced legislation that would legalize those agreements, allowing for couples to enter into them without the fear of the existing $10,000 fine or possible year in jail.

Things a sister might do for her brother and sister-in-law: host Thanksgiving at the last minute, get the mail when they’re on vacation, maybe even co-sign a loan.
But have their baby?
Tiffany Burke of Bellingham, Wash., is helping redefine the family favor by acting as a surrogate for her sister-in-law Natalie Lucich and brother James. Tiffany is due in December — with twin boys.
CNN’s “Sanjay Gupta, MD” featured their story over the weekend, and it invited so many responses that Tiffany took to the blog “A Belly For Me, A Baby For You,” to address the many questions.

On a quiet family camping trip along Minnesota’s Rum River, surrogacy might seem like odd topic to come up. Five years later, sisters Kari Thorp of Andover and Tara Bladow of Battle Lake, Minn., can’t seem to remember who brought up the idea.
Tara Bladow, right, carried baby Gavin for her sister, Kari Thorp, who had a hysterectomy during high school.

Surrogacy affords the opportunity of a dream-come-true for couples and individuals hoping to become parents but face the burdens of infertility or other health issues which make pregnancy and delivery dangerous or impossible. It enables you to welcome a child into the world who is truly your own and continue the miracle of your family lines.
The hard part, however, is reaching that point.

As scientific advances create more choices for couples trying to build families, Muslims face religious teachings that rule out many options available to other couples.
In 1980, just two years after the birth of Louise Brown, the world’s first test-tube baby, a Sunni sheikh issued Islam’s first fatwa, or religious edict, on in vitro fertilization. Assisted reproduction (artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization) was allowed, it said, but only with the husband and wife’s own materials. That meant donor sperm, donor eggs and surrogacy were out.

India says it will introduce laws to regulate the lucrative “surrogacy tourism” practice of Indian women bearing children on behalf of childless Westerners. Being surrogate mothers offers financial freedom for many Indian women, often allowing them to escape India’s slums and move into better housing with the proceeds gained from surrogate pregnancies, The Guardian reported Friday.

Eight European countries notified over ten Mumbai IVF clinics to desist from catering to their citizens. The letter, signed by the consul generals of Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and the Czech Republic, and sent to the clinics last week, stressed the importance of directing nationals from their countries to their respective consulates before initiating the surrogacy process.

According to the draft `Assisted Reproductive Technology Regulation Bill 2010′ prepared by a 12-member committee, gay and lesbian couples, Indian or foreign, can’t have children born with the help of an Indian surrogate mother.
”.. once this bill is endorsed by the law ministry and becomes an Act, such couples will not be allowed to have surrogate children in India,” said member secretary of the committee Dr R.S. Sharma. ”.. though homosexuality has been decriminalized in India, it has not been made legal. Till gay and lesbian couples get legal status in India, they can’t avail surrogacy,” he added.
