Surrogate mother for gay couples

Types of Surrogacy
There are two main types of surrogacy:

• Traditional Surrogacy: The surrogate uses her own egg, meaning she is the biological mother of the child. Some intended parents choose to go independent, which can be less expensive but involves more responsibility and risk.
• Egg Donor Selection: Donors can be anonymous or known.

  While some gay couples initially consider independent surrogacy to reduce costs, the savings often don’t justify the additional stress and complications that can arise. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Can both dads be legal parents?
    Yes, but it may require court orders or second-parent adoption depending on jurisdiction.
  • Can our child be biologically related to both dads?
    Not within one child, but it’s possible for twins to be fertilized using sperm from each father.
  • Can we pursue surrogacy abroad?
    Yes, but laws vary.

    • Lifestyle and Health Habits – Many donor programs provide helpful information about the donor’s daily habits—things like diet, exercise routines, substance use history, and general lifestyle choices during the donation process that might be important to you

    • Communication and Future Contact Preferences – Some donors welcome the possibility of future contact or occasional updates about the child they helped create, while others feel more comfortable with complete anonymity.

    In other states, a time-consuming post-birth adoption process may be necessary.

    Legal documentation also extends to any agreements made with the surrogate.

    Ideally, a surrogacy contract should clearly outline the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved.

    It should also address issues like compensation, the degree of involvement in making medical decisions, etc.
