About Gestational Surrogacy (where legal)
The process is built on IVF. The intended mother or an egg donor has eggs collected after stimulation, and they are fertilised with the intended father's or donor sperm, usually by ICSI. Embryos are grown and often frozen. The surrogate is medically screened and prepared with hormones, and an embryo is transferred to her womb. Legal agreements are normally signed before any treatment starts.
Success depends on the age and quality of the eggs, the embryos' quality and the surrogate's health and womb lining, and several transfers may be needed. Surrogacy involves legal, ethical and emotional issues as well as medical ones, and the rules on parentage differ greatly between countries. Take independent legal advice before committing.
Check that surrogacy is legal in the country you choose and that your own country will recognise the child's parentage and allow travel home with the baby, including citizenship and passport steps. Plan for repeat trips: one for egg collection, others for transfer, and a stay around the birth. Keep every signed document and record.
Usually a good fit if
- Women with no uterus or with a uterus that cannot support pregnancy.
- Women for whom pregnancy is medically dangerous.
- Same-sex male couples or single men, where the local law permits.
- Repeated IVF or miscarriage with a uterine cause.
May need to wait if
- Legal environment that bans surrogacy or does not recognise parentage for your nationality.
- Uncontrolled medical conditions in the intended parent affecting egg collection or health.
- Not having discussed the emotional and ethical aspects with your counsellor.
- Any arrangement that is not fully voluntary and legally documented.
How to prepare
- Legal advice is the first step, since surrogacy is banned or restricted in many countries and affects citizenship, parentage and exit permits.
- Medical fertility tests for the intended parents or donors, and screening, including infection tests.
- The surrogate's own health review, counselling and written consent are managed by the programme.
- Review any medicines with your doctor and plan for multiple trips or a long stay.
- Gather documents such as marriage certificates, passports and medical records.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Is surrogacy legal for my nationality, and what documents prove parentage?
- How is the surrogate screened, counselled and cared for medically?
- How many embryos are transferred and what is the policy on multiples?
- What happens if the pregnancy fails or complications arise?
- How will the child get a passport and travel home?
- What antenatal contact will I have with the surrogate?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- No written legal contract or lawyer involved.
- Pressure on the surrogate, or unclear consent.
- Promises of guaranteed results or timelines.
- No separate legal advice for the surrogate.
- No clarity on citizenship and passports.
