Surrogacy is an arrangement where a woman (the surrogate) carries and delivers a
baby for another person or couple (the intended parents). It is a viable option for
individuals and couples who are unable to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term.

• Gestational Surrogacy: The surrogate carries an embryo created via IVF using the
  egg and sperm from the intended parents or donors. The surrogate has no
  genetic relationship to the child.

Surrogacy Procedure
Gestational Surrogacy Process:

1.  Matching with a Surrogate: Surrogates undergo extensive screening, including
   medical, psychological, and background checks.
2.  Legal Agreements: Both parties enter into legal agreements to outline the rights and
   responsibilities of the surrogate and intended parents, medical care, and custody
   arrangements
3.  IVF and Embryo Transfer: The intended mother or egg donor undergoes ovarian
   stimulation and egg retrieval. The eggs are fertilized with sperm from the intended
   father or sperm donor. The resulting embryos are transferred to the surrogate’s
   uterus.
4. Pregnancy and Monitoring: The surrogate carries the pregnancy to term. Regular
   prenatal care and monitoring ensure the health of the surrogate and the developing
   baby.
5. Birth and Legal Finalization: The baby is born, and legal procedures finalize the
   parental rights of the intended parents. The surrogate relinquishes any parental
   rights
