Understanding the Types of Surrogacy
Surrogacy comes in different forms, each with unique features. The two primary types are gestational surrogacy and traditional surrogacy. Below, we break them down to help you understand your options.
What about
Gestational
Surrogacy
In gestational surrogacy, the surrogate carries a child who is not genetically related to her. The embryo is created using the egg and sperm of the intended parents or donors through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and transferred to the surrogate’s uterus.
What about
Traditional
Surrogacy
In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate is also the egg donor, meaning she is genetically related to the child. The surrogate is artificially inseminated with the intended father’s or donor’s sperm.

Note on Altruistic and Commercial Surrogacy:
Surrogacy can also be categorized by compensation. In altruistic surrogacy, the surrogate is not financially compensated beyond reasonable expenses, often done for family or friends. In commercial surrogacy, the surrogate receives payment for her services, as is common in professional arrangements like those we facilitate.
Is Gestational Surrogacy more common than Traditional?
Yes, gestational surrogacy is far more common today due to its legal clarity and the ability to use intended parents’ or donors’ genetic material.
