You are about to embark on your journey to finally have a baby of your own through a gestational carrier and the Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) process commonly known as gestational surrogacy.

Gestational surrogacy is a medical procedure by which a couple can have a baby without any genetic contribution from the surrogate. The gestational surrogate is providing a uterus to carry the pregnancy to term. The embryos from which a child will be conceived are developed from one or both of the gametes (sperm or eggs) from the couple wanting to have the baby.

As a couple striving to have a baby through gestational surrogacy:

• You will undergo an IVF cycle to grow and retrieve your female partner’s eggs.
• These eggs will be fertilized with the male partner’s sperm (or donor’s sperm).
• The embryos will be grown in a controlled laboratory setting for 3 to 5 days.
• The embryo(s) will be transferred into the gestational surrogate’s uterus.
• She will conceive a child and carry the baby through pregnancy.
• Upon delivery – you will have a beautiful bundle of joy to bring home from the hospital!
