Surrogacy

speak with a specialist

What is Surrogacy?

A surrogate is a woman who carries and delivers a baby for an aspiring parent or couple. There are two types of surrogacy: traditional and gestational.

The most common form of surrogacy is gestational surrogacy, in which the baby is not biologically linked to the surrogate. In this type of surrogacy, an embryo is created using the sperm from the future father (or sperm donor), and the egg of the biological mother (or egg donor). This embryo is then implanted into the uterus of the surrogate, who will carry the baby to full term.

Traditional surrogacy uses the sperm of the intended father to fertilize the surrogate’s egg. The surrogate mother carries the pregnancy to full term, delivering the baby for the parents to love and raise. With traditional surrogacy, the baby is biologically linked to the surrogate mother.

Reasons to Consider Surrogacy

Every year, surrogacy helps thousands of aspiring parents build their families. There are many reasons why intended parents may turn to a full-service surrogacy agency, including:
  • Limited success with IVF or assisted reproductive technology (ART)
  • Medical problems or illness that affect the health of the uterus
  • Previous surgeries or hysterectomy that removed the uterus
  • Conditions that either make pregnancy too much of a risk or prevent pregnancy altogether
  • Same-sex couples (primarily males, in conjunction with an egg donor)
  • Unexplained infertility
  • Maternal age
  • Personal choice
