Surrogacy is a legal and ethical arrangement in which a woman (the surrogate mother) carries the baby of another couple (the genetic parents or commissioning couple – the egg and sperm belong to them).Surrogacy Process is facilitated by the fertility clinic or an agency wherein a surrogacy contract is made and signed both by the commissioning parents and the surrogate.
Forms of Surrogacy
The most common form of surrogacy that is used is gestational wherein the female partner of the infertile couple is treated with hormones to yield more eggs which are retrieved and fertilized with her husband’s sperm in vitro (in the laboratory).
The embryos created from the gametes of both the partners are then transferred into the uterus of a surrogate mother. She gets pregnant and hands over the baby to the intended parents after delivery. During the surrogacy process, the surrogate lives at surrogate home where she is provided with all the essential facilities till delivery. Sometimes, if the female partner is of advanced age or has poor quality eggs it might be necessary to have an egg donor to improve the chances of pregnancy. The child thus born would be genetically related to both (husband and wife) or one parent (egg donor and husband)
