All about gestational surrogacy

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

2. 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).

3. 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.
