How does a surrogacy work?
There are two types of surrogacy. 1). A genetic surrogate is where the surrogate mother is also the biological mother. This is where surrogate’s eggs are and inseminated (usually artificially) with the intended father’s sperm. 2). A gestational surrogate is where both the egg and sperm of the intended parents are joined and the pre-embryo(s) are placed into the surrogate who will carry and deliver the child. The gestational surrogate has no genetic link to that child.
