Generally there are two types of surrogates.

Traditional surrogates. A traditional surrogate is a woman who is artificially inseminated with the father's sperm and she is the baby’s biological mother as it was her egg that was fertilized by the father’s sperm. She then carries the baby and delivers it for the parents to raise. Donor sperm can also be used for a traditional surrogacy.

Gestational surrogates. With IVF treatment it is now possible to harvest eggs from the mother, fertilize them with father’s sperm, and place the embryo into the uterus of a gestational surrogate. The surrogate then carries the baby until birth. Here the gestational surrogate has no genetic ties to the child as it was not her egg that was used. The biological mother, though, is still the woman whose egg was fertilized.

Who can use Surrogates?

  •  Women who have medical problems with their uterus or have got their uterus removed with the hysterectomy procedure.
  • Women who have been unsuccessful to become pregnant with various ART techniques such as IVF
  •  For those who have been declared medically risky pregnancy such as severe heart issues.
  • For people who might not be able to adopt a child due to their age, marital status or sexual orientation.

To find a surrogate who can help you?
Friends or family – A friend or relative can be a surrogate if willing though there are chances of same genes between first-degree relatives. But a tried and tested family relationship is easier to manage provided the high cost of surrogacy and the legal issues complexity.

A surrogacy agency - Helps would-be parents find a suitable surrogate, makes arrangements, and collects any fees passed between parents and the surrogate, such as reimbursement for her medical expenses

You should choose a surrogate who:

  • Is at least 21 years old.
  • Has already given birth to at least one healthy baby so she understands the medical risks of pregnancy and childbirth and the emotional issues of bonding.
  • Has passed a psychological screening
  • Willingly signs a contract agreeing to her role and responsibilities in the pregnancy, such as steps she'll take to ensure prenatal care and to relinquish the baby after birth.
  • Surrogates also need screening for immunity to measles, rubella (German measles), and chickenpox. Medically the normal structures of the uterus is observed to evaluate the potential to carry a pregnancy.
