surrogate mothers
Bearing others' children
Surrogate mothers are women who carry and give birth to children for others, typically when the intended parents cannot conceive or carry a pregnancy themselves.
The surrogate may be genetically related to the child (traditional surrogacy) or carry an embryo created from the intended parents' or donors' genetic material (gestational surrogacy).
They found a surrogate mother through an agency.
