[Dr Malpani] At present, there is no legal protection for surrogacy in India, which means there is no secure mechanism by which you would be able to take your baby back with you . You can read about this atwww.drmalpani.com/surrogacy-in-india.htm. The question you need to ask yourself is - How will I take my baby back with me after birth ?

I’d suggest you wait till the surrogacy law is passed.
