Traditional Surrogacy
Traditional surrogacy, also known as genetic surrogacy (in contrast to gestational surrogacy), is a method of family building where the surrogate mother agrees to become pregnant for the intended parents and is the genetic parent of the baby. In this process, the surrogate is artificially inseminated with the sperm of the intended father or a donor. This results in the fertilization of the surrogate mother's egg, establishing a genetic link between her and the child. The surrogate mother carries the pregnancy to term and gives birth. This form of surrogacy poses greater legal risks for the intended parents because, after the child's birth, the child will not have a genetic relationship with the intended mother.
Gestational Surrogacy
Gestational surrogacy, also known as a carrier arrangement (as opposed to traditional or genetic surrogacy), is a method of family building where a woman agrees to become pregnant for the intended parent(s) without having a genetic relationship with the baby. In this process, the child is conceived using an embryo created via in vitro fertilization (IVF), using the genetic material (eggs or sperm) of the intended parent(s) or donors. The resulting embryo is then implanted into the surrogate's uterus, and the surrogate carries the pregnancy to term and gives birth. Children born through gestational surrogacy will have a genetic relationship with one or both of the intended parents.
