Is it possible to have a biological child if my partner has had a hysterectomy?

Gestational surrogacy offers a woman who is unable to carry a pregnancy (such as women who have had their uterus removed) the opportunity to have her own biological child. Embryos created using the woman’s egg and her partner’s sperm are implanted into another woman’s uterus, and she will carry the pregnancy. Because of the complexity of the relationships between the woman, her partner, and the surrogate carrier, the legal status of each participant varies widely from state to state. In states that do allow this option, a formal legal contract is usually required between the carrier and the couple.

Addressing these legal considerations in a timely manner can bring clarity and peace of mind to your decision-making process.
