Preferred term

surrogacy  

Definition

  • Surrogacy—also called surrogate motherhood, surrogate parenting, and contract pregnancy—refers to the practice of a woman becoming pregnant and bearing a child with the intention of giving the child born from the arrangement to another couple or person to raise. In what is now referred to as traditional surrogacy, the surrogate mother becomes pregnant with her own ovum, usually via insemination with the sperm of the intended father.
