Exploring the Biological Connection in Gestational Surrogacy
Have you ever heard someone ask this question? Or maybe you are a Gestational Surrogate and someone has asked you this question.
Many wonder about the biological connection between a Gestational Surrogate and the babies they carry. And here’s the truth. Are you ready for it?
THERE ISN’T ONE.
Yes, you read that right. The baby being carried by the Surrogate is composed of genetic material created outside the womb through an embryo. This embryo is then transferred into the Surrogate. At the end of the pregnancy, the Surrogate joyfully hands that precious bundle to its rightful parents.
Surrogates are not giving up their own children or babies they are related to. That’s a HUGE myth out there, and it’s time to put it to rest once and for all.
