Understanding Surrogacy

There are two primary types of surrogacy: traditional and gestational. In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate is the biological mother of the child, while gestational surrogacy involves creating an embryo through in vitro fertilization (IVF) using the eggs and sperm of the intended parents or donors.

Medical Considerations

The medical aspects of surrogacy require careful planning and comprehensive care. Once a surrogate is selected, thorough medical screenings are conducted to ensure her health and suitability. Collaborating with fertility specialists allows for meticulous monitoring and support throughout the pregnancy journey.

Legal Safeguards

Legal considerations are paramount in the surrogacy process. Engaging a knowledgeable reproductive law attorney is essential for drafting contracts that protect the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved. Clear legal agreements not only establish expectations but also help to prevent misunderstandings, ensuring a smooth and respectful experience.
