Non-Commercial Surrogacy

Non-commercial surrogacy involves a surrogate mother agreeing to carry a pregnancy for intended parents without receiving payment beyond reasonable expenses. It is a voluntary arrangement primarily motivated by altruism, often for family, friends, or those unable to conceive naturally. This form of surrogacy emphasizes emotional and ethical considerations over financial gain, reducing legal and ethical complexities associated with commercial surrogacy. It requires clear legal agreements to protect all parties’ rights and responsibilities, ensuring the surrogate is fairly supported while facilitating the intended parents’ desire to have a biological child.
