Unfortunately, many couples are unable to have their own children. Up until the last couple of decades, those couples had only two alternatives: adopt or remain childless. Today, due to advances in reproductive technology, couples now have medical means to have children. Reproductive techniques such as artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization/pre-embryo transfer (IVF/ET, also known as test-tube babies) and other Advanced Reproductive Technologies (ART) allow otherwise infertile couples a chance to have children.
However, there are still some couples for whom these techniques are not successful and for whom adoption is not an attractive or viable option. These couples may still wish to have children who are their genetic offspring. Often the mother cannot give birth for reasons that may include lack of a uterus or where pregnancy would be medically risky. For these or other reasons, the only way to have genetic offspring is to have another woman carry and give birth to their child: a Surrogate Mother. The couple wishing to obtain a child through a surrogacy arrangement is often referred to in the law as "Commissioning Couple" or "Intended Parents."
