The donor egg, along with the sperm of the intended father. In this case, only the father will be genetically linked to the child.

3.

The intended mother’s egg along with donor sperm. In this case, only the mother will be genetically related to the child.

4.

The eggs and sperm of donors. In this case, neither the intended father nor mother is genetically linked to the child.


Once the embryo is transferred, the surrogate mother carries the child to term.
