The child born is genetically related neither to the intended parents nor the surrogate mother.

In case the intended parent is single, he or she should be a donor to be able to have a surrogate child.

The intended parents can't, in other words, change their minds if they don't like what they see once the baby is born.

The intended parents are almost always present at childbirth.

The intended parents were a homosexual male couple.

A surrogate is a woman who carries a child for an individual or a couple - usually called the intended parents.

Normally only the gametes of the intended parents can be used.

The intended parents sued to have themselves recognized as the legal parents.

The husband in the first couple, known as the intended parents, decided he wanted out of his marriage and wanted nothing to do with the baby.

About half of the donors feel that degree of involvement should be decided by the intended parents.
