PREG-nun-see (SER-uh-gut PREG-nun-see) A pregnancy in which a woman bears and gives birth to a baby for someone who is unable to have children. In a surrogate pregnancy, eggs from the mother or an egg donor are fertilized with sperm from a sperm donor to create an embryo. The embryo is then implanted into her uterus. If she carries the fetus to term, she is a surrogate mother.
Surrogacy has been used as a form of infertility treatment for many years. In 2001, only 30 countries had legalized this type of therapy; today that number has increased to more than 70. Surrogates come from different ethnic backgrounds and live in various parts of the world. Most are in Asia, especially China and India. But also South America, Africa and the Middle East have become popular places for surrogacy arrangements.
In traditional surrogacy agreements, the woman who will carry the embryo transfers it into her own womb after it has been created by in vitro fertilization (IVF). She may receive compensation for her time and effort, but not usually for the loss of income if she has other jobs.
In modern surrogacy arrangements, the woman who will carry the embryo provides all of the eggs or embryos through artificial insemination or IVF treatments without any compensation. Then the embryos are distributed among several men who agree to be the fathers of the child.

Surrogacy has become popular as a way for couples to have children. In some cases, this type of arrangement can be used to replace an absent spouse or partner. Other times it's done as a way for individuals without biological ties to one another to start a family. Surrogates typically give financial compensation to those who have commissioned them to carry their child.
There are two types of surrogacy: gestational and traditional. In gestational surrogacy, the surrogate carries the fetus to term and delivers it normally. The infant is then placed in her partner's care after delivery. In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate carries the fetus only so far as embryonic development allows. She may provide nutrients to the embryo through the use of injectables or artificial wombs. At any point prior to delivery, either party can decide to end the relationship by not taking responsibility for the embryo/fetus. The surrogate is then free to try and conceive again while the commissioning couple starts over with new embryos created from the commissioning couple's own eggs and sperm.
A woman (the surrogate mother) is artificially inseminated with the sperm of the prospective father or donor in conventional surrogacy. Because the surrogate mother supplies her own egg, any children born will be genetically connected to her. The offspring are then gestated by a third party (a gestational carrier) who provides her womb for the fetus.
In alternative surrogacy, the woman uses her own egg and carries the child herself. She may have help from others, such as a partner or friend, but they cannot be the genetic parents of the child.
Conventional surrogacy has been used to produce many successful babies, while alternative methods have been used primarily for single embryo transfers. There have been several reported cases of alternative methods producing healthy baby girls, which shows that this type of procedure can be safe when done by experienced surgeons. However, more research needs to be done on alternative methods because there are very few studies available on this topic.
Surrogate mothers come from all over the world and usually pay large sums of money for this opportunity. Although many countries allow this type of treatment, generally only couples where both members are fully married or living together can participate. In some countries, including India and China, this form of adoption is almost exclusive to heterosexual couples.
In conclusion, surrogate motherhood is when a woman carries another person's baby.
Her egg is artificially inseminated by the intended father's or a sperm donor's sperm, resulting in an embryo that she subsequently bears to term in her own uterus. In conventional surrogacy, the surrogate is the child's biological mother, and the surrogate mother shares DNA with the newborn. However there are cases where this relationship is not clear cut, such as when one partner is adopted.
The intended parents pay the surrogate mother for the service of being a carrier. In addition, they may also offer them money for their medical expenses and compensation for any loss of income during the time they are carrying the baby. This arrangement is known as "traditional" or "conventional" surrogacy.
In "alternative" or "prospective" surrogacy, the surrogate mother agrees to carry another woman's embryo or oocyte (an ovum from which an embryo has developed) until it becomes pregnant. The alternative mother then gives birth to the child together with the primary mother. Although she does not receive any payment, she enjoys many other benefits such as social recognition and involvement in maternal health care. She may even be given financial assistance to cover the cost of having a baby. This type of arrangement is used when there is a lack of eligible donors within the family network of the intended parents.
A "surrogate mother" is a woman who volunteers to have a child for another woman who is unable to conceive for financial or other reasons. Surrogacy has many uses, including replacing deceased donors' organs in transplant patients and helping infertile women have children. It is also used as an alternative to adoption because it avoids the need for an adoptive parent to go through the legal process of adopting someone else's child.
In surrogacy arrangements where both the biological mother and father are female, the female partner who will be giving birth usually agrees to this arrangement so that she does not have to go through the labor pain and risk of delivering a baby that is not her own. She may also be given the opportunity to choose her own surrogate after interviewing several candidates. The surrogate mother will often receive payment for her time and effort. In some cases, she may even be paid more than the mother who is able to carry the baby herself.
It is very common for a surrogate mother to want to keep her relationship with the child's parents intact if at all possible. This can be done by agreeing on an open adoption in which regular contact is maintained between all parties or a closed adoption in which the child is adopted immediately after birth.
Surrogate motherhood is a process in which a woman (the surrogate mother) births a child for a couple who are unable to have children normally, typically because the wife is infertile or otherwise unable to endure pregnancy. The term "surrogate father" has also been used as an alternative phrase.
This type of parenting is often used as a substitute for biological parents who are able to carry their child to term but cannot care for them due to age or illness. This can also be done when there is no legal adoption available or not enough money to pay for one. Surrogates are usually paid between $10,000 and $20,000 for this service.
In addition to financial compensation, surrogacy also pays homage to the fact that mothers are not only biological beings but social constructs as well. Social science research has shown that having a baby with someone else gives fathers experience with infant behavior and helps them to become better parents themselves. It also allows women who might not otherwise have the opportunity to become mothers to do so.
As long as everything is done legally and the surrogate mother's health is not at risk, there is no reason she could not be paid even if she does not give birth. Some countries may even allow her to keep the child after it is born.
