Surrogacy help!
My husband and I have 6 beautiful kids between us and are now happily finished having babies 😊
My husbands sister however, is still trying for a baby. She’s a breast cancer survivor and has had her eggs frozen for a few years. Sadly she’s had 3 failed insemination attempts and almost given up hope. We would love to reach out and offer the opportunity to carry her baby, but not sure how it all works.
Can we use her eggs and her husbands sperm - and I just be the oven?
We are a really close family and it would mean the world to us, to give them this opportunity.
Would love any help understanding how it works. Thanks mummas xx

Where ever possible they use the parents product. Unless there is a problem with there sperm and eggs and then they recomemd looking for a separate donor to the oven.
You would have to undergo fertility treatments yourself. There cargo is very precious and they usually do an embryo transfer. So the sperm and egg are already mixed.
It’s recomeded that you undergo counselling before doing this and understand the risks and sometimes things go wrong. Families who were really close aren’t always close forever so you have to be mentally prepared that you may not see this child grow up as much as you might imagine.
It’s a really tough process in Australia, however given their circumstances you may have more chance of success! More so the legal side of things, as in Aus you’re pretty much allowed to turn around and say nah I want to keep this baby (simplest way to explain it). I’d get some solicitors involved even.
Yes you certainly can carry their baby, you yourself will need to go IVF and fertility treatments. They’ll request that you all do counselling and you need to prove you’re of sound mind and have no interest in wanting to keep the baby.
Fingers crossed this works for you and your gorgeous family, what a beautiful gift to be able to give them!
