Understanding the different types of surrogacy is essential for intended parents and surrogates alike. At Lifis, we believe in full transparency, helping you make informed choices that align with your goals, values, and legal circumstances.

Gestational Surrogacy
In gestational surrogacy, the surrogate carries an embryo created using the intended parents’ (or donors’) egg and sperm. This means the surrogate has no genetic connection to the baby.

• Medical process: The embryo is created via IVF and transferred to the surrogate’s uterus.
• Legal implications: Generally simpler, since the surrogate has no biological link to the child.
• Most common type: This is the standard surrogacy model Lifis supports.

Traditional Surrogacy
In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate’s own egg is used, making her the baby’s biological mother. Conception occurs through artificial insemination rather than IVF.

• Genetic link: The surrogate is both the carrier and the genetic mother.
• Legal complexity: This form can be more emotionally and legally complicated due to parental rights considerations.
• Less common today: Most agencies and clinics, including Lifis, focus exclusively on gestational surrogacy for clarity and security.
