Is the Catholic Church against surrogacy?

Hello everyone, nice to meet you all. My wife and I are from Dublin, Ireland and we would like to have a child, but the problem is that I have been diagnosed with azoospermia, so I cannot have access to parenthood via my own sperm :( We have been told about surrogacy and egg donation, but we are Christians, so we don’t find it very ethic (in fact I think it is against our own principles to do this). But since the Catholic Church is pro-life, maybe there is still a chance to see surrogacy as a positive way to have a child. Can you tell us a little bit about this fertility treatment? We would like to know whether Catholics are in favour of surrogacy and egg donation in general terms. It is very important for us, because it makes the difference between having a child or not for us. Thank you very much.
