A surrogate mother acts as a medium that enables a couple to successfully obtain their biological child (children). Surrogacy is a process in which a surrogate mother helps intended parents carrying a baby or twin babies. Intended parents seek help form surrogate mothers in order to have a child that they have always anticipated. Through gestational surrogacy, a surrogate mother is unrelated to the baby in genetics since an embryo is created through an IVF procedure of intended parents. The surrogate mother acts as a gestational carrier. Surrogacy is a common option for intended parents because some females are simply unable to carry pregnancy, such as a lady who is lack of uterus, who has many uterine fibroids (tumors), has uterine anomaly, has frequent pregnant miscarriage, has medical illnesses, and so on.
