3. What’s the difference between Traditional Surrogacy and Gestational Surrogacy?

Traditional surrogacy occurs when a woman agrees to be inseminated with either the intended parent’s sperm or donated sperm and to carry the child for the intended parent(s) to raise. The traditional surrogate is the biological and genetic mother of the child. Gestational surrogacy is when a woman agrees to carry a pregnancy for another person or couple. The woman is often referred to as a “carrier.” The carrier is not genetically related to the child.
