What Is the Gestational Surrogacy Process? (Anas Khan)

Most surrogacy procedures these days are gestational surrogacy procedures. In the gestational types, a surrogate carrier will carry a child that was conceived using eggs and sperm from a couple, or using donor eggs and sperm. In vitro fertilization is required to retrieve and fertilize eggs from the female partner. The eggs are then combined with sperm from the male partner to create embryos, and a select number of embryos are transferred to the uterus of the surrigate carrier after a short period.

This differs from what is referred to as traditional surrogacy in which the surrogate-carrier's own egg is used in the procedure and combined with sperm from the male partner through intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF). In this case, the surrogate carrier would be biologically linked to the child, whereas in gestational surrogacy, the surrogate carrier is not biologically linked to the child.

Immediately after giving birth to the child, the surrogate-carrier (SG) releases the child to the parents. Gestational surrogacy is thought to carry less of a risk than the "SG" becoming attached to the child, as she is not biologically linked to the child compared to traditional surrogacy where the surrogate carrier is biologically linked to the child.

To protect the rights of all parties involved, a contract should be drawn up before beginning the process. There are several legal matters that must be determined, as well as financial and medical matters. The couple will pay the baby's carrier fee that is agreed upon before the procedure is begun. The couple will also pay for preparation, screenings, pregnancy-related expenses, medical expenses, agency fees, delivery fees or the use of donor eggs or donor sperm if applicable. In total, the cost of surrogacy may range from $20,000 to over $100,000 depending on a variety of factors.

To find a surrogate, couples may consult fertility clinics, websites, lawyers or other agencies that help connect surrogate carriers with couples. A surrogate carrier must have children of their own and must be at least 21 years of age. The requirement that they have had children is so that they have shown they are capable of carrying a child to term and it is thought it lessens the chance of the surrogate becoming attached to the child if they have children of their own. Surrogate carriers must undergo a litany of screenings and tests as well to ensure they are fit for the role.
