Learn how surrogacy works, who may benefit from surrogacy and the different pathways available to intended parents.
Surrogacy offers a pathway to parenthood for individuals and couples who are unable to carry a pregnancy themselves.
Who May Need Surrogacy?
Surrogacy may be considered by:
- Women without a uterus
- Women with significant medical conditions
- Same-sex male couples
- Single intended fathers
- Individuals with repeated implantation failure
Types of Surrogacy
Gestational Surrogacy
The surrogate carries an embryo created using the intended parents’ or donors’ genetic material.
The surrogate has no genetic connection to the child.
Traditional Surrogacy
The surrogate uses her own egg and is therefore genetically related to the child.
This arrangement is less common internationally.
International Surrogacy
Many intended parents explore international surrogacy programmes due to established legal frameworks and treatment availability.
Professional support throughout the journey can help simplify complex processes.
Creating Families Through Surrogacy
Every surrogacy journey is unique, but at its heart remains the same goal: helping intended parents welcome a child into their family.
