Definition of Surrogacy Surrogacy: A method of reproduction in
which a woman agrees to become pregnant, using her own eggs, and
carry a child for another individual or couple. In some
situations and locations a surrogate mother may be paid for her
services. The term is sometimes used to refer to a woman who
agrees to carry a biologically unrelated child for another
couple that was conceived through in-vitro fertilization (IVF),
but the term gestational surrogacy more accurately reflects this
situation.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary Last Editorial
