resources: surrogacy
2 types of surrogacy:
Traditional Surrogacy is where the child born for the intend couple is genetically related to the intended father and is the biological child of the surrogate. While this sounds complicated, as legal verse can sometimes appear, the husband of the intended couple provides the sperm which is placed into the surrogate, usually though insemination techniques, when the surrogate herself is ovulating. The wife of the intended couple does not contribute genetic material in this type of surrogacy arrangement.
Gestational Surrogacy is made possible through advances in advanced reproductive technologies (ART). This type of surrogacy is achieved when the eggs of the intended mother are mixed with the sperm of the intended father, fertilized and finally implanted into a woman, the gestational surrogate. The surrogate has no genetic contribution to the child and solely carries and delivers the child through pregnancy. Gestational surrogacies are medically more complicated and expensive (requiring in vitro fertilization) but are legally simpler and relatively free of significant risk from the perspective of the intended parents.
