Gestational Surrogacy

Gestational surrogacy is an arrangement whereby a woman (the gestational surrogate, or carrier) undergoes an embryo transfer and carries the pregnancy to term for another who is unable to do so for herself. The eggs and sperm come from either the intended parents or from a donor.

The medical process involved in gestational surrogacy is identical to that of egg donation. (In gestational surrogacy, the "recipient" would be the gestational surrogate). For more detailed information, please see Egg Donation and The Egg Donation Cycle

We have a great deal of experience with gestational surrogacy and the variety of complex psychological and legal issues involved. We are sensitive to the various needs of all parties and are happy to offer our guidance and support.
