What is a surrogate? How do you define a surrogate? A surrogate or a gestational carrier is a woman who carries a child or children for another person. The surrogate may carry for an individual or a couple that they have met through the help of a third party surrogate agency, an online forum or a personal friend or family member. Many surrogates are compensated for their personal time and sacrifice during the surrogate arrangement, this is referred to as compensated surrogacy. Here at SAI we provide guidance, support and assistance to our surrogates, through a legally compensated surrogate arrangement.There are two types of surrogates; traditional and gestational. A traditional surrogate is biologically related to the child that she carries and a gestational surrogate is not. Due to medical advances, surrogate gestational carrier arrangements are preferred and are more common today. For over a decade, SAI has proudly assisted intended parents, surrogate mothers and egg donors through gestational surrogacy and egg donation arrangements.
