There are two main types of surrogacy: Gestational Surrogacy and Traditional Surrogacy. At Canadian Surrogacy Options, we’re here to help you understand the difference and support you every step of the way.
In gestational surrogacy, the surrogate (also known as the gestational carrier) is not genetically related to the baby. The embryo is created using the egg and sperm of the intended parents or donors, then transferred to the surrogate through IVF.
