Gay Surrogacy

What Is Gay Surrogacy?

Gay surrogacy occurs when a gestational carrier carries a baby created via IVF with the eggs of a second woman who is an egg donor on behalf of a gay man or gay couple known as the intended father or fathers. Sperm is provided by one (and sometimes both) of the intended fathers.
