MAJORITY OF AMERICAN WOMEN VIEW SURROGACY POSITIVELY

CHENNAI, India, Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- In a recent poll commissioned by One World United, LLC, the U.S. based parent of Proactive Family Solutions (India) (PFS), a majority of American women -- 51 percent -- reported holding a positive view of surrogacy.

"The reality is people sometimes find themselves facing a variety of obstacles inherent in the adoption and in vitro fertilization arenas," explained One World United CEO Mendel Zilberberg. "Considering surrogacy as an alternative is made easier by the growing acceptance and popularity of surrogacy as a way to overcome medical, social, emotional or biological barriers, and our company is providing a means to overcome financial, legal and logistical barriers in America and elsewhere."

In the One World United survey, conducted by The Polling Company, Inc., participants were asked for their opinion on surrogacy, which was defined as "an arrangement whereby a woman voluntarily agrees to become pregnant for the purpose of carrying and giving birth to a child for someone else to raise." Fifty-one percent of those surveyed expressed a positive opinion on the subject.

Through the extensive relationships of its parent company, One World United, PFS has access to American and India based staff as well as access to a broad network of world-class doctors and hospitals in India to provide gestational surrogacy in conjunction with either American or Indian egg donors in a safe and affordable manner.

Additionally, PFS addresses all foreign travel and lodging arrangements, including citizen/immigration-related issues such as birth certificates, visas and passports for the newborn and parents, assuring smooth travel to and from India. Working with PFS, intended parents can focus on building their family rather than mundane travel and lodging logistics and the complicated travel arrangements for the newborn.

Unlike other surrogacy services, PFS stands shoulder to shoulder with the intended parents, going so far as to offer a financial guarantee to qualified parents electing this option. PFS goes to great lengths to obtain a positive result, including:

    -- medical testing and screening of all sperm donors, egg donors and
       surrogates
    -- psychologically and physically screening surrogates
    -- providing regular medical check-ups of all surrogates
    -- careful monitoring of surrogates at all stages of the pregnancy
    -- providing for the medical and nutritional needs of surrogates
    -- providing transportation and lodging for surrogates as needed
    -- working to relieve the inherent stress of intended parents as much as
       possible
