4. What is a
traditional
surrogate
A traditional surrogate is the
biological mother of the child;
her egg is combined with the
intended father’s or donor’s
sperm. This is the type of
surrogacy that has been practiced
the longest. Before modern
technology allowed for the
creation of embryos outside the
womb, it was the only way to
conceive via surrogate mother.

5. What is a
gestational
surrogate?
Science now allows a surrogate
mother to carry another woman’s
egg with relative ease: she is
known as a gestational surrogate
or carrier. This is the most
common form of surrogacy and what
provides the most solid legal
protection for both intended
parents and the surrogate.
