Gestational Carrier / Surrogacy Program
Surrogacy
A gestational carrier is needed for couples where the female partner cannot carry a pregnancy in her uterus. In gestational surrogacy, the woman carrying the pregnancy is in no way biologically or genetically related to the child she is carrying. She is providing an environment for the embryo to grow, ideally for 40 weeks.
