Why did The Gift of Surrogacy choose not to represent Traditional Surrogates?
At The Gift of Surrogacy, we feel that it is in the best interest of both the Surrogate and the Intended Parents that the Surrogate not be genetically related to the child. The technological advances in reproductive medicine have basically rendered the need for non-familial Traditional Surrogacy obsolete. These advances, along with the number of high quality egg donors and the fact that these donors are both easily accessible and readily available, make Gestational Surrogacy the obvious choice. This choice protects the Surrogate from any undue emotional stress, and gives the Intended Parents increased legal standing, as well as increased peace of mind.
