Who Chooses Surrogacy?

People who choose surrogacy usually face various fertility difficulties or special circumstances, and surrogacy provides them with a way to have children. The following are some common groups of people who may choose surrogacy:

1. Couples with Infertility Issues
   Women Unable to Get Pregnant: Some women may be unable to conceive naturally or carry a pregnancy to term due to uterine problems (such as a hysterectomy, congenital uterine abnormalities, recurrent miscarriages, etc.). In these cases, surrogacy is a viable option.
   Repeated IVF Failures: Some couples may have gone through multiple rounds of IVF treatments without success, leading them to turn to surrogacy.
2. Same-Sex Couples
   Male Same-Sex Couples: Male same-sex couples cannot conceive naturally, so they typically opt for surrogacy combined with egg donation, using the sperm of one or both partners to have a child.
   Female Same-Sex Couples: Some female same-sex couples may choose surrogacy if neither partner can or wishes to carry a pregnancy.
3. Single Individuals
   Single Men: Single men who wish to have their own children often choose surrogacy combined with egg donation.
   Single Women: Some single women, due to health or personal reasons, may choose surrogacy if they are unable to or prefer not to carry a pregnancy.
4. Women with Health Risks
   Some women can conceive but carrying a pregnancy would pose significant health risks, such as those with serious heart conditions, diabetes, or other life-threatening conditions. These women may choose surrogacy to protect their health while fulfilling their desire to become a mother.
5. Professional and Lifestyle Considerations
   Some professional women or individuals with specific lifestyles may choose surrogacy due to their career arrangements or life demands. For example, some women may not want or be able to personally experience pregnancy due to work or other reasons.
6. Those with Genetic Risk Factors
   If either partner in a couple carries a serious genetic disorder, they may opt for surrogacy to avoid passing the genetic condition on to their offspring. Through surrogacy and genetic screening, the risk of inheriting the condition can be reduced.
   The choice of surrogacy is often related to fertility difficulties, health risks, sexual orientation, genetic disorders, lifestyle, and other factors. Surrogacy provides these groups with an alternative to having their own children.
