GESTATIONAL CARRIER OVERVIEW
Honoring the Woman Behind the Miracle
A gestational carrier chooses to carry a pregnancy for intended parents who are unable to carry on their own. She does so with intention, preparation, and support. We honor her courage, protect her wellbeing, and walk beside her every step of the way — because without her, hope would not become reality.
What Does It Mean to Be a Gestational Carrier?
A gestational carrier is a woman who carries a pregnancy created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) for intended parents.
Here is what makes gestational surrogacy unique:
-
The embryo is created using the intended parents’ egg and sperm, or donor egg and/or donor sperm.
-
The gestational carrier has no genetic connection to the baby she carries.
-
Her role is to provide a safe, healthy environment for the pregnancy.
-
This is different from traditional surrogacy, where the carrier would use her own egg. In gestational surrogacy, modern reproductive medicine ensures clear medical and legal boundaries.
