Sometimes, infertility treatment may require the use of a third party, such as a carrier or surrogate, to carry the pregnancy.
In this form of treatment, the gestational carrier becomes pregnant through IVF using the eggs of the intended mother (or egg donor) and the sperm of the intended father (or sperm donor). The gestational carrier is not the biological mother of the child.
In either case, you select the surrogate and legal documents are signed prior to initiating the cycle in which the surrogate relinquishes all parental rights to the child(ren)
Some of the patients who would benefit form a gestational carrier include:
You are the one who chooses the surrogate. She may be a family member, friend or chosen from a Surrogacy agency. The surrogates undergo an extensive screening as well as psychological assessment. They must also give informed consent for the procedure. Surrogates are also required to execute a legal contract.
