What makes gestational surrogacy different from traditional surrogacy? plus icon

The key difference is genetics. In gestational surrogacy (the only legal form in India), the surrogate has no genetic link to the baby. She carries an embryo created using the intended parents’ (or donors’) egg and sperm. In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate’s own egg is used, making her the biological mother—this practice is banned in India to protect legal parentage rights.

Is the baby genetically mine in gestational surrogacy? plus icon

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.

Who can be a gestational carrier in India? plus icon

Under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Amendment Rules, 2023, a surrogate must be:

  • A married woman (aged 25–35) with at least one child of her own.
  • Physically and psychologically fit.
  • A “willing woman” (she no longer needs to be a “close relative,” allowing friends or extended family to help).
  • She can act as a surrogate only once in her lifetime.

What are the success rates? plus icon

Success depends heavily on the quality of the egg and sperm.

  • Self-Cycle (Your Eggs <35): ~55–60% per transfer.
  • Donor Cycle: ~75–95% success rate, as eggs from young, healthy donors are used.
  • Cumulative Success: 90%+ couples achieve pregnancy within 3 attempts.

How much does gestational surrogacy cost in India? plus icon

The cost typically ranges from ₹15 Lakhs to ₹20 Lakhs. Since commercial surrogacy is banned, this covers:

  • Medical procedures (IVF, delivery, hospitalization).
  • Surrogate’s insurance and care.
  • Legal and administrative fees.

What is the complete timeline? plus icon

The entire journey usually takes 12 to 18 months.

  • Months 1-3: Medical testing, legal counseling, and matching.
  • Months 4-5: IVF cycle and embryo transfer.
  • Months 6-14: Pregnancy monitoring.
  • Month 15+: Birth and legal exit process (birth certificate/court order).

Do I need to use my own eggs? plus icon

Ideally, yes. Indian law prioritizes the child having a genetic link to the intended parents. However, recent legal changes allow flexibility if there is a medical necessity.

Can we use donor eggs? plus icon

Yes, but with conditions. As per the March 2024 Supreme Court amendment, you can use donor eggs only if the intended mother has a medical condition (like absent uterus or premature ovarian failure) certified by the District Medical Board. The husband’s sperm must be used to ensure a genetic link.

Is gestational surrogacy legal in India? plus icon

Yes, Altruistic Gestational Surrogacy is legal and strictly regulated under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021. Commercial surrogacy (paying a surrogate for profit) is illegal.

What if the first embryo transfer fails? plus icon

It is common not to succeed on the first try. We typically create multiple embryos in one IVF cycle. If the first transfer fails, we can perform a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) in the next cycle without restarting the whole IVF process. A surrogate can undergo up to 3 embryo transfer attempts.

Can intended parents attend the birth? plus icon

Yes, intended parents are usually present at the hospital for the birth to bond with the baby immediately, subject to hospital policy and the surrogate’s comfort.

What happens if there are pregnancy complications? plus icon

The surrogate is covered by a mandatory 36-month health insurance policy purchased by the intended parents. This covers all postpartum complications and medical treatments required for her recovery.

Is gestational surrogacy safe for the baby? plus icon

Yes. Research shows that children born via surrogacy are as healthy as those born via natural conception or standard IVF. The surrogate undergoes rigorous infectious disease screening (HIV, Hep B/C, etc.) to ensure the baby’s safety.

How is the birth certificate handled? plus icon

The birth certificate will bear the names of the Intended Parents (you and your spouse). The surrogate’s name is not mentioned on the birth certificate, ensuring your legal parentage is clear from day one.

What is a Parentage Order? plus icon

It is a legal order passed by a First Class Magistrate court after the birth. It formally establishes you as the legal parents and confirms that the surrogate has no parental rights or obligations toward the child.

Can same-sex couples pursue gestational surrogacy? plus icon

Currently, No. Indian law restricts surrogacy to married heterosexual couples and specific categories of single women (widows/divorcees).

Can single parents pursue gestational surrogacy? plus icon

  • Single Women: Yes, if she is a widow or divorcee between the ages of 35 and 45.
  • Single Men: No, single men are not currently eligible under the Act.

How long does the surrogate have health insurance? plus icon

The intended parents must provide health insurance coverage for the surrogate for a period of 36 months (3 years). This ensures she is protected long after the delivery.

What if the surrogate doesn’t relinquish the baby? plus icon

This is legally protected. The surrogate signs a binding agreement before the cycle starts, relinquishing all rights. Under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021, the child is deemed the biological child of the intended parents from birth, and the surrogate has no legal claim to custody.

Can we stay in contact with the surrogate after birth? plus icon

Yes, since altruistic surrogacy often involves a willing woman or relative, many families choose to stay in touch. However, clear boundaries are established during counseling to ensure everyone’s emotional well-being.
