Gestational Surrogacy for having your own biological child

In gestational proxy, the mother delivers a biologically non related child.  That means in gestational proxy, egg and sperm are made to fertilize outside the womb of the surrogate mother and the embryo is implanted in the womb.  That is genetically different from the proxy mother. 

This is very important.  Couples who wish to have an infant of their own cannot reproduce due to various medical problems, but they are healthy to produce eggs and wish to have a baby from their own genes.  In this case of gestational surrogacy, usually the egg donor will be the intended mother and it is made fertilized with the sperms of her husband outside under medically aided process. 

When the eggs are fertilized and becomes embryo, they will be transferred to a substitute who agrees to carry the embryo in her womb till the completion of gestation period.  When the gestational period is completed, she has to deliver the child and child belongs to intended parents.  Therefore, in gestational surrogacy, the proxy is genetically not connected to an infant she delivers.  This method is known as In Vitro fertilization and it is popularly known as IVF. 


The process of helping the intended mother to get her genetically related baby is the biggest help that surrogate mother can do to the prospective mother.  The screening cost, cost of legal procedures, medical expenditures, maternity expenses, baby care and other relative costs are borne by the prospective parents and they get their child through this method and they are ready to pay for the gestational surrogacy.
