Surrogacy: What is it?

Surrogacy is the carrying of a child for intended parents by a Gestational Carrier (otherwise known as a Surrogate). The pregnancy results from the transfer of an embryo created by in vitro fertilization (IVF), and the resulting child is genetically not related to the surrogate.

A surrogate can be implanted with an embryo created in several different ways via IVF. One such way is using the intended father’s sperm and the intended mother’s eggs, while other options are using the intended father’s sperm and a donor egg, the intended mother’s eggs, sperm donor, or donor sperm donor eggs.
