Detailed explanation-1: -Surrogacy is a procedure in which a woman accepts to carry out a pregnancy to term for a couple or for another woman, either altruistically or for financial gains.
Detailed explanation-2: -Traditionally, the term “surrogate mother” meant a woman who used her own eggs to become pregnant with a surrogate baby. Today, the majority of clinics work only with gestational surrogates, meaning a woman who carries the baby but does not use her own eggs in the process of conceiving the child.
Detailed explanation-3: -Surrogacy involves a person agreeing to carry and give birth to a baby for someone else. After the baby is born, the birth parent gives custody and guardianship to the intended parent or parents. Surrogacy has complex legal and medical steps that must be met.
