What is surrogacy?

que consiste gestacion subrogada

Surrogacy or surrogacy is an assisted reproduction technique in which a baby is gestated by a woman (let’s clarify that the term “surrogate mother” is a term that should not be used) who will not be the biological mother, since the implanted embryo has no genetic link to her.

Every year, hundreds of couples, or single people, turn to surrogacy to realize their lifelong dream: becoming parents.

Surrogacy is a complicated process that combines the most advanced medicine, the laws of each country (almost always contradictory or incompatible), languages, and different customs. A complicated process in which nothing can be left to chance. It is not a job for “amateurs” with good intentions but little experience.

Surrogacy, also commonly known as surrogacy womb, is a technique of assisted human reproduction in which a woman, called the surrogate mother, offers her gestational capacity to another person or future parents, also called commissioning parents, so that they can fulfill their dream of becoming parents.

The surrogacy process is carried out through in vitro fertilization (IVF), in which the gametes come from the man’s semen and the eggs of the future mother. If one of these partners cannot provide their gametes, they can resort to gamete donation, either through egg or sperm donation, in the country where the surrogacy process is carried out.
