The Surrogacy Experience

The surrogacy experience involves a woman (the surrogate) agreeing to carry a pregnancy for individuals or a couple unable to conceive or carry a pregnancy themselves. The process starts with medical and legal arrangements, followed by ovarian stimulation and fertilization—either using the intended parents’ or donor’s eggs and sperm. Once pregnant, the surrogate receives healthcare and emotional support throughout the pregnancy. After birth, legal procedures transfer parental rights to the intended parents. Throughout, open communication and professional guidance help ensure a positive and respectful journey for everyone involved.
