Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In surrogate parenting, conception may take place outside the body using ova and sperm from the couple that wishes to become parents. These embryos are then implanted into the surrogate mother, or the surrogate mother may be inseminated artificially with sperm from the intended father. Donated embryos may also be implanted into a surrogate mother. The couple does not need to be infertile. The surrogate parent does not need to have previously carried a pregnancy to term.
