2. What is surrogacy
Surrogacy is an agreement that involves the
woman becoming pregnant and give birth to
someone else’s baby. After the birth of the
child, the custody of the child is given to the
intended parents. Although it may sound simple
the process involved is much complex, with
professionals being involved in the medical,
legal, and emotional process.

intended parents but the surrogacy has to remain without pay.

4. This type of surrogacy involves the surrogate mother providing her eggs which
have to be inseminated by the intended father’s sperm. Traditional surrogacy is
not usually offered in the clinics of Australia because of its numerous legal
requirements. The issues relating to the baby’s future, right to information about
the identity may cause problems in the future.The surrogate mother can
inseminate herself at home, however intended parents can still practice
traditional surrogacy from any clinic overseas.
