A surrogate mother is a woman who, by agreement, carries a child for a couple or individual through the help of an agency such as Ed Wards IVF. Being a surrogate mother is about giving the joy of life to those who would otherwise not be able to experience it. Not only is a surrogate mother able to bring joy and hope to a couple or individual, but surrogate mothers are often compensated for their time and effort.

There are several reasons why surrogate mothers are used. They include the women having a hysterectomy, medical issues with her uterus or medical conditions such as heart disease that makes pregnancy too risky or impossible. Surrogate mothers also allow for gay couples to choose the donor of the egg or sperm in order to have a child of their own.

Through advances in modern medicine, an “in vitro fertilization” (IVF) allows doctors to gather an egg from the biological mother and use the chosen father’s sperm to fertilize it, and then safely inserts the embryo into the surrogate mother’s uterus. This method is referred to as a gestational surrogate. It is a more common surrogate method today than the traditional surrogate method where the surrogate mother’s eggs are donated and used to initiate the pregnancy along with the chosen father’s sperm. Through the gestational surrogate method, the surrogate does not have any genetic association with the baby because her egg was not used. This means that the biological mother is the women whose egg it was, and the surrogate is referred to as the “birth mother”.

Through the assistance of Edwards Surrogate, the entire process can be handled and agreed upon by all parties involved. Since there can be legal concerns, using an agency can be a very important aspect of the process.
