Surrogacy provides an amazing opportunity for queer men to have a biological connection to their child. In a gestational surrogacy arrangement — the most common version practiced — a woman (known as a surrogate or gestational carrier) will be compensated for carrying a baby to term for the intended dad(s). For queer men, a gestational surrogacy journey will require an advanced fertility treatment known as in vitro fertilization (IVF). During this process, a fertility center will create embryos — using sperm from an intended father and an egg donor — which are in turn transferred to the surrogate's uterus.
