Gestational Agreements in Houston Bringing Your Family Together
Having a child can bring immense joy to your home and marriage. However, some couples may face medical or biological challenges that make conception difficult. In such cases, choosing a gestational mother as a surrogate may be an option.
A gestational mother differs from a traditional surrogate. In a traditional surrogacy arrangement, the surrogate contributes her own eggs and is genetically related to the child. In contrast, a gestational mother carries a child for another woman who has not provided her eggs or genetic material.
