Surrogacy program

What is surrogacy?

Surrogacy requires a great deal of time and patience to succeed, but it can bring happiness to all concerned if the medical, legal, financial and emotional aspects are properly considered.

Surrogacy is an arrangement in which a woman carries and delivers a child for another couple or person.

The intended parents may arrange a surrogate pregnancy because of: female infertility or other medical issues that make pregnancy or delivery impossible, risky or otherwise undesirable. Surrogacy is also an option for single men or Surrogacy for gay men. The sperm or eggs may be provided by the intended parents, but donor sperm, eggs and embryos may also be used.

Surrogacy is growing in popularity as a way of having children. Your decision to use a surrogate is extremely important, and for this reason, we aim to provide you with as much information as you require. Our fertility nurses are available for support and to help the intended g parent(s) and the surrogate make an informed decision in regard to their treatment.

 

Finding a surrogate

City Fertility Centre cannot assist in the process of finding a surrogate. Intended parents (people wishing to become parents through surrogacy) may find a woman willing to be a surrogate themselves Please refer to your state legislation in regards to advertising for surrogates.
