Surrogacy is a significant method of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). In a surrogacy arrangement, a woman agrees to bear a child for another woman or couple or Single parent who are not able to have their own child and surrender it to the intended parents at birth. Surrogates are special, selfless women with a passion for helping others and bringing joy in their lives. The parents who are in hope of a child resulting from a surrogate pregnancy is referred to as the ‘intended parents’.
Gestational surrogacy
It helps those who are unable to have children become parents through assisted reproduction with the help of an egg donor and gestational carrier. It’s a process that requires medical and legal expertise, as well as a strong support process throughout the journey.
Through IVF, embryos are created in a lab at a fertility clinic, using the gay intended parents’ biology (one or both) as well as an egg donor. At the fertility clinic, 1-2 embryos are implanted into a gestational carrier, who carries the baby to term.
Gestational carriers have no genetic relationship to the children they deliver.
