Is the baby genetically mine in gestational surrogacy?

Yes, in most cases. The embryo is created using your egg and your partner’s sperm, so the child is 100% genetically yours.

• Update (March 2024): If one partner has a certified medical condition preventing them from providing gametes, the Supreme Court now allows the use of a donor egg or sperm (but not both; at least one gamete must come from the intending couple).

• Single Women (Widow/Divorcee): Must use their own eggs and donor sperm.
