WHAT IS SURROGACY?
An arrangement in which a
woman (the surrogate) agrees
to carry and give birth to a
child on behalf of another
person or couple (the intended
parent/s).
TYPES OF SURROGACY
1. Gestational Surrogacy
2. Traditional surrogacy
3. Com mercial or Compe nsated Surrogacy

4. Altruistic Surrogacy
5. Agency Surrogacy
6. Independent Surrogacy
7. Identified Surrogacy
8. Domestic Surrogacy
9. International Surrogacy
GESTATIONAL SURROGACY
It is the family planning option in which a woman
(surrogate) carries and delivers a child for a couple or
individual. In gestational surrogacy, the surrogate (or
gestational carrier, or GC) carries a child conceived of
the egg and sperm
TRADITIONAL SURROGACY
It is the family planning option in which a woman
(surrogate) agrees to carry a pregnancy for an
intended parent or parents and in which the surrogate is
genetically related to the baby. In traditional surrogacy,
the surrogates' eggs are used, making her the biological
mother of the child she carries.
COMMERCIAL/COMPENSATED
SURROGACY
It refers to any surrogacy arrangement in which the
surrogate mother is compensated for her services
beyond reimbursement of medical expenses.
ALTRUISTIC SURROGACY
It refers to any surrogacy arrangement in which the
surrogate mother is NOT compensated for her services
beyond reimbursement of medical expenses, or simply the
surrogate mother volunteered to carry a pregnancy for
the intended parents.
 AGENCY SURROGACY
A type of surrogacy arrangement in which the intended
parents and/or gestational carrier work with a licensed
surrogacy agency.
INDEPENDENT SURROGACY
sometimes also called private surrogacy,
is any surrogacy arrangement in which
the intended parents and surrogate
mother do not work with a surrogacy
agency.
 IDENTIFIED SURROGACY
a surrogacy arrangement in which the
intended parents already have a
gestational carrier in mind when
beginning the surrogacy process. Often,
it is a family member or close friend
 DOMESTIC SURROGACY
a type of surrogacy that allows intended parents
and surrogates to meet, establish a relationship, and
more easily stay in contact during the whole
surrogacy process. It eliminates the legal processes
that occur with bringing a baby born abroad back
into their parents’ country.
 INTERNATIONAL SURROGACY
Is a type of surrogacy in which it is intended that
surrogates who carry a child for an international intended
parent can receive a base compensation that, due to
exchange rates and different standards of living, can
drastically change their life situation. It is intended for
parents who live in a country that restricts or outlaws
surrogacy, completing an international surrogacy in a
surrogacy-friendly country like the U.S. is safer and easier.
