Surrogacy – What You Need to Know

Surrogacy is a beautiful option for people who are unable to carry a pregnancy but still wish to have a biological child. It involves a woman — called a surrogate — who agrees to carry and give birth to a baby for someone else.

Many individuals and couples around the world have created loving families through surrogacy — and you can too.

Who Might Need Surrogacy?

Surrogacy is an option if

- You were born without a uterus or had it removed
- You have a medical condition that makes pregnancy unsafe
- You’ve had multiple pregnancy losses or failed IVF attempts
- You’re a same-sex male couple or a single man

Types of Surrogacy

Gestational Surrogacy (Most Common)

Traditional Surrogacy (Rare)

There are two main types

Gestational Surrogacy (Most Common)
- Your embryo (created using your eggs or donor eggs + sperm) is placed into the surrogate’s uterus.
- The surrogate has no genetic link to the baby.
Traditional Surrogacy (Rare)
- The surrogate uses her own egg and is genetically related to the baby.
- This is not commonly practiced due to emotional and legal complexity.

How Does Surrogacy Work?

Medical & Legal Screening

The surrogate is carefully screened for physical and mental health, and must give informed consent.
A legal agreement is created to protect everyone’s rights.

IVF Process

An embryo is created using:
- Your eggs and partner’s sperm
- Or donor eggs and/or donor sperm
The embryo is transferred to the surrogate’s uterus.

Pregnancy and Birth

The surrogate attends regular prenatal care.
You stay involved during the pregnancy and are present (if possible) at birth.
After delivery, the baby is given to you, the intended parent(s).

Will the Baby Be Genetically Mine?

In gestational surrogacy

If your own eggs and sperm are used — yes, the baby is biologically yours.
If donor eggs or sperm are used, the baby will be genetically related to the donor(s) and one or both parents, depending on your situation.

Legal and Emotional Support

A clear legal agreement is essential before starting. It defines:
- Parental rights
- Medical care
- Financial responsibilities

Counseling is available for all involved to support emotional well-being.

Costs to Expect

Surrogacy can be costly, especially if it’s done through an agency. Costs may include:

Medical and IVF expenses
Surrogate compensation
Legal and agency fees
Maternity care and delivery

(Some clinics offer packages and payment plans — ask your clinic for details.)

Surrogacy Is a Journey of Love

Even though someone else carries your baby, you are the child’s parent — from the moment you begin this journey.

Surrogacy is about trust, compassion, and teamwork — and it can lead to a beautiful, lifelong bond between you and your child.
