Surrogacy or Egg Donation can be classified into four major categories such as gestational surrogacy, traditional surrogacy, altruistic surrogacy, commercial surrogacy. Here is little information about each type:

• Gestational surrogacy: In this type, the surrogate mother has no genetic relationship with the child. The embryo is being transferred to her uterus.
• Traditional surrogacy: Here the mother has a genetic relationship with the baby. The baby may be impregnated through different fertility methods or conceived naturally.
• Altruistic surrogacy: In this case the woman agrees to become pregnant and asks for no financial favor in return. The child is transferred to the respective family just after the birth. This normally happen within family members. 
• Commercial surrogacy: here the mother is given compensation for getting pregnant and delivering the baby.

Infertility can be caused by many factors. There are two different kinds of infertility factors: male and female. There are cases where the mother is not capable enough to carry the child to full term. In such situation one can take the adoption as an option. But many times the couple likes to have a baby who shares a genetic relationship with them. This is where surrogacy helps. Through vast development on the medical field it is now possible to transfer the embryo from one person to another through a process called in vitro fertilization or IVF. The lady who carries the embryo till its full term is known as a surrogate mother. There are certain things that the couple should keep in mind while finding a lady that would be carrying the embryo for them. Some of the important points are:
