All about gestational surrogacy

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 fertilisation (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 in the UK

Altruistic surrogacy is legal in the UK, so Carrot Experts help members navigate the complex local laws, requirements, and cross-border care options while guiding them to trustworthy agencies and legal support.
