What is surrogacy?

A gestational carrier (GC) or surrogate is a healthy woman who agrees to carry a baby through a pregnancy for an individual or couple. The GC only provides a host uterus for the baby and does not contribute any genetic material (eggs).

The embryo is created using an egg from a female, which can be the intended parent or an egg donor. The egg is then fertilized by sperm from a male partner or a sperm donor. Your gestational carrier may be a family member, a friend, or a compensated or non-compensated volunteer.

By using a gestational carrier, we are able to provide individuals or couples the opportunity to achieve parenthood using their own sperm and/or eggs.
