Expert Q&A

I cannot bear children myself due to having a partial hysterectomy, but I still have my ovaries. Is it legal in Canada for me to have a surrogate mother so my husband and I can have a baby of our own?
As I am not an attorney, I suggest that you contact one near you to answer your questions before you proceed further. I can say that I know of quite a few Canadian surrogates that are carrying for their fellow countrymen/women.
As an alternative you can come to the United States, where you will find several states where gestational surrogacy is acceptable and common.
