Surrogacy

WHY GIFT OF LIFE SURROGACY?

Making the decision to use a surrogate can feel exciting, overwhelming and nerve-inducing simultaneously. Whether you have been trying to conceive unsuccessfully on your own, are unable to carry your own child, or are choosing to explore surrogacy electively, there’s no single right path to parenthood.

At Gift of Life Surrogacy, we understand the delicate nuances that come with reaching parenthood, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

What is surrogacy?

With gestational surrogacy, intended parents can use the mother’s egg or a donor egg as well as the father’s sperm or donor sperm. With gestational surrogacy, the carrier has no biological tie to the embryo that is transferred to her during the in vitro fertilization cycle.
