What is surrogacy?
Surrogacy is a method of assisted reproduction where a woman (i.e., the surrogate) agrees to bear a child for another person or persons (i.e., intended parents), who will become the child’s parent(s) after birth.
Â
In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate is the biological mother of the child and in gestational surrogacy, the surrogate is not the biological mother of the child.
Â
Gestational surrogacy is far more common than traditional surrogacy in the USA nowadays.
