SURROGACY PROGRAM
There are 2 types of surrogacy:
TRADITIONAL SURROGACY
When the surrogate’s own eggs are fertilized by the sperm of
the intended father via insemination at the fertility clinic
and will carried to term by the traditional surrogate.
The baby and any babies that will be created via traditional
surrogacy will have a biological link to the surrogate and
to the intended father.
There are variations to this, which are traditional
surrogacy achieved via IVF (in vitro fertilization), home
insemination or intrauterine inseminations (IUI)
GESTATIONAL SURROGACY
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is done via a 4-step process
involving the carrier (the surrogate), intended mother,
intended father and also the doctor and staff of the IVF
clinic.
Step one, the intended mother or egg donor will take
medications to stimulate her ovaries which produces multiple
eggs. Step two involves retrieving the eggs from the
ovaries. Once the eggs have been retrieved, step three is
the fertilization of the eggs and culture of the embryos in
the IVF clinic.
When the eggs are fertilized, the last step is the placing
of the embryos into the uterus of the surrogate for
implantation.
The baby and any babies that will be created via gestational
surrogacy will not have any biological link to the
surrogate.
All our surrogates have the following requirements:
- Ages between 21 – 35 years
- Good health
- Non-smoker and non-drug user
