Can gay couples have artificial insemination with a surrogate mother?
Yes: “Although adoption has traditionally been a way for singles and couples who, for whatever reason, cannot have a child, many gays and lesbians are not satisfied with this option: they want a child who is truly “of their flesh.” Surrogacy allows gay men – or lesbian women who cannot (or do not wish to) bear children – the opportunity to parent a biological child. There are two different kinds of surrogacy. Traditional surrogacy fertilizes the eggs of the surrogate mother by way of artificial insemination. In gestational surrogacy, however, the egg is fertilized in the lab, to be transplanted into the surrogate’s uterus once the fertilization is successful. Although surrogacy is a viable option for same-sex couples who want to parent a biological child, choosing a surrogate mother is a delicate task. The initial stages of finding a surrogate are especially important, as the decisions you make now could have a lasting impact on your family.” Source and further information:
