A surrogate mother is a lady who after feritlisation of an egg from a donor either naturally(voluntary sex) or artificial impregnation carries the child till its birth. It is gaining much popularity among the rich people and the working class people who cannot afford to lose their time during pregnancy.

A surrogate mother is one who bears a child for someone else. Generally a fertilized ova is inserted to the uterus of the surrogate mother. The foetus develops within her and she gives birth whereas the genetic composition comes from the parenting couple. This is generally practised by those who can not bear the later stages of the pregnancy and gives still birth or premature birth of the baby. There may be deformaty or abnormality leading to early abortion and so she seeks the help of a surrogate mother to borne her own child. But these days it is a fashion. The women wants to maintain their figure and so goes for a sarrogate mother instead of impregnating a baby themselves.

Surrogacy is a method of assisted reproduction whereby a woman agrees to become pregnant for the purpose of gestating and giving birth to a child for others to raise. She may be the child's genetic mother (the more traditional form of surrogacy), or she may be implanted with an unrelated embryo. In some cases surrogacy is the only available option for parents who wish to have a child that is biologically related to them.Surrogates may be relatives, friends, or previous strangers. Many surrogate arrangements are made through agencies that help match up intended parents with women who want to be surrogates for a fee. The agencies often help manage the complex medical and legal aspects involved.
