What is a Gestational Surrogate?
A Gestational Surrogate mother is a woman who carries a baby for another person or a couple. The person who is trying to have a baby with the help of the Surrogate mother is known as an Intended Parent.
The Intended Parents who undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) so that the Surrogate can carry a baby that is not genetically or legally related.
​
The Surrogate is compensated for her time and efforts by the Intended Parent(s). The embryo is created from the intended father’s sperm, or donor sperm, and the intended mother’s egg, or donor egg.
Once the baby is born, the Intended Parents are listed on the birth certificate as the legal parents and assume all responsibility for the child.
