One of the most common concerns that our patients express is related to the genetic makeup of their baby when going through the surrogacy process. It’s understandable for some to worry that the gestational carrier genetic material may be passed on to the baby, as they are not directly involved in the gestational process. However, it’s important to understand that embryos used in the fertility tratment are created using either the biological mother’s eggs or donated eggs, along with sperm from the biological father. As a result, the baby will only inherit genetic material from the individuals who provide the gametes, and not the gestational carrier. Our team is always available to address any additional questions or concerns you may have about the fertility treatment with surrogacy.
