What’s the difference between an egg donor and a surrogate?
An egg donor donates one or more of her eggs to the expectant couple. This is the extent of her role in conception, and both parties may remain anonymous. The egg is then fertilized by the biological father and placed in the expectant mother’s uterus. A surrogate is a woman who carries the fertilized egg to term in her uterus on behalf of the intended mother. The surrogate may or may not be asked to use her own egg.
