Types of Surrogacy
Traditional Surrogacy is where the child born for the intended couple is genetically related to the intended father and is the biological child of the surrogate. The husband of the intended couple provides the sperm which is placed into the surrogate. The wife of the intended couple does not contribute genetic material in this type of surrogacy arrangement. Sperm donation can also be utilized during Traditional Surrogacy arrangements.
The second type of surrogacy is Gestational Surrogacy. Gestational surrogacy is made possible through advances in advanced reproductive technologies (ART). This type of surrogacy is achieved when the eggs of the intended mother are mixed with the sperm of the intended father, fertilized and finally implanted into a woman, the gestational surrogate. The surrogate has no genetic contribution to the child and solely carries and delivers the child through pregnancy. Egg Donation, Sperm Donation, and Embryo Donation can also be used with Gestational Surrogacy.
Commercial Surrogacy involves a financial rewarded for the Surrogate Mother’s involvement. This fee includes medical expenses as well as miscellaneous expenses related to the pregnancy, including travel.
During Altruistic Surrogacy, no financial compensation is rewarded to the Surrogate Mother. Conversely, in this case, the Surrogate Mother can still be compensated for her pregnancy-related expenses.
History of Surrogacy
History may be infused with diverse surrogate generations, but it guides in a new and forward approach to Surrogacy journeys.

A team made up of Noel Keane and Dr. Ringold hosted the first surrogacy clinic, called Infertility Center, making first headlines of artificial insemination.
In the 1980’s, Elizabeth Kane (alias) was the first woman who contracted to be a Surrogate Mother for financial reward. However, her indisposition eventually deprived her of custody of the child because of a signed legal contract.
