Surrogacy refers to the process of third party reproduction wherein a woman agrees to become pregnant and carry someone else’s baby under a contract. Whether the baby has any genetic connection to the surrogate depends on the kind of surrogacy method chosen.

Surrogacy in India is legal. It can be availed by heterosexual couples who are unable to bear a child on their own for some medical reason, by same sex couples, and by single men for whom surrogacy is the only way in which parenthood can be achieved.

Donor egg IVF is a fertility treatment or Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) in which the egg from a donor is subjected to IVF. That is, the egg from the donor is mixed with the sperm from the biological father in the laboratory.

But the idea of single men wishing to be parents through surrogacy is definitely new. Single & Gay men are increasingly heading to India for surrogacy as an way to have children.

Single fatherhood through surrogacy

The desire for fatherhood does not have to be necessarily connected to or dependent on a relationship with a woman.
