    1. Which form of surrogacy do they perform? Traditional or gestational surrogacy? We’re looking for a surrogate that isn’t genetically linked to the child. My husband and I would prefer using our own gametes.

      • Hi MaineCoon,

        nowadays, fertility centers exclusively provide gestational surrogacy in order to avoid the genetic link and the arising emotional problems of the surrogate when it comes to handing over the baby after birth.
