Become a Gestational Surrogate

Gestational surrogacy (also known as host or full surrogacy) takes place when an embryo created by in vitro fertilization (IVF) technology is implanted in a surrogate, sometimes called a gestational carrier. Gestational surrogacy may take a number of forms, but in each form the resulting child is genetically unrelated to the surrogate:

• the embryo is created using the intended father’s sperm and the intended mother’s eggs. The resulting child is genetically related to both intended parents.
• the embryo is created using the intended father’s sperm and a donor egg where the donor is not the surrogate. The resulting child is genetically related to the intended father.
• the embryo is created using the intended mother’s egg and donor sperm. The resulting child is genetically related to the intended mother.
• a donor embryo is implanted in a surrogate. Such an embryo may be available when others undergoing IVF have embryos left over, which they donate to others. The resulting child is genetically unrelated to the intended parent.

Gestational Surrogate Requirement

Surrogacy is a serious responsibility. By agreeing to become a surrogate mother, you are offering to give your time, your energy, and your own body. The decision to help someone less fortunate than yourself begin a family attests to your personal compassion, to your sense of dignity, and to your deep and abiding generosity.

While the journey may be difficult at first, being a surrogate mother has its rewards. Of course, there is the financial compensation for inconveniences and risk. Many past surrogates, however, have found that the greatest reward they experience is the sense of pride bordering on awe at the service which they have been able to provide. Through surrogacy, you are allowing another young, hopeful family to experience the miracle of life. There are few experiences that compare to being a surrogate mother.

• The health of both mother and child during the progress of the surrogacy is of the highest concern, which means a certain amount of responsibility is being placed upon the surrogate’s shoulders.
