In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate provides the egg. The sperm can come from either the Intended Parent or another donor. The Intended Parent can be either male or female in traditional surrogacy.
The main advantage of traditional surrogacy is that the medical procedures involved are much simpler. Surrogates may choose home insemination or a physician-assisted insemination depending on the requirements of the applicable state law. The alternative to a traditional surrogacy is a gestational surrogacy.
I will help you with every aspect of your traditional surrogacy plan, including research into the social and medical background of your Surrogate. If you will be parenting a child who is going to be the genetic child of your Surrogate, you will need to fully understand your child’s roadmap. There are a number of costs involved in a traditional surrogacy. You will want to budget for the cost of the medical procedures, payment to the Surrogate, the drafting and negotiation of the contract and securing the appropriate birth order. There will be maternity care expenses, including hospital and doctor fees, court costs and, most likely, DNA testing.
