Surrogacy is defined as an arrangement in which a woman bears or carries a child which eventually has to be handed over to another person or couple. So a surrogate acts as a child carrier. Surrogacy can be of various types.

Surrogacy is a complex and controversial issue, with people holding varied views all over the world. Although it provides an option to both couples and singles  to have a child who is genetically related to them in case  all the other methods to have a child  do not work for them, but still surrogacy is a concept that has not been fully accepted in many countries.

Complexity of surrogacy in USA is augmented due to lack of uniformity of laws pertaining to surrogacy. Each of the fifty states of the country has different laws – some allow surrogacy, some allow certain types only and some have banned it completely. So, entering a surrogacy agreement in U.S.A can be cumbersome as one needs to know the laws applicable in the state of his residence.

Since, surrogacy laws are non-uniform and entering a surrogacy agreement in U.S.A is both cumbersome and expensive, opting for surrogacy abroad can be a solution for U.S. citizens who want to go in for surrogacy to start their families. There are many countries in which laws are surrogacy supportive and cost of surrogacy is also low. Surrogacy in India, and several Eastern European countries is becoming preferred destinations to go in for surrogacy.
