Surrogacy

Surrogacy is an arrangement where a woman, known as a surrogate, carries and gives birth to a child for another person or couple, who are often unable to conceive on their own. This can happen through two main methods: traditional surrogacy, where the surrogate's own egg is used, or gestational surrogacy, where an embryo created via IVF uses the egg and sperm of the intended parents or donors. Surrogacy often involves legal agreements to clarify parental rights and responsibilities. It is a complex process that can offer hope to individuals or couples struggling with infertility.
