Types of Surrogate Mothers

Surrogacy is generally broken down into two different types, gestational surrogacy and traditional surrogacy, and two types of surrogate mothers, "gestational surrogates" and "traditional surrogates".


Gestational surrogates are also referred to as "gestational carriers" or "host surrogates" and traditional surrogates are also referred to as "straight surrogates" or "classic surrogates". Intended parents via surrogacy are also called prospective or commissioning parents.


Gestational Surrogacy is the most common type of surrogacy arrangement in Canada.
