How gestational surrogacy works

Finding a gestational carrier

In gestational surrogacy, an intended parent or parents work with a person who carries a pregnancy for them

Creating embryos

Embryos are created using genetic material from the intended parent(s) or a donor and then transferred to a gestational carrier through an embryo transfer after in vitro fertilization (IVF)

Why gestational surrogacy

Surrogacy is an important option for people experiencing infertility, single parents by choice, same-sex couples, and others unable to carry a pregnancy

Surrogacy laws vary around the world

Many countries — and regionally within a country — have unique laws and regulations related to surrogacy. Carrot Experts help members understand their local and cross-border options, when appropriate, and find trustworthy agencies and legal support.
