Introduction: Surrogacy Deserves Truth, Not Taboo
surrogacy in India has brought joy and parenthood to countless couples across India. Yet, it’s surrounded by confusion, outdated beliefs, and legal misunderstandings. At Ayuh Fertility Centre, we believe that knowledge removes fear—and helps you make confident decisions about your family journey.
In this blog, we’ll debunk popular myths about surrogacy, explain the facts, and show how Ayuh supports couples through safe, ethical, and legal surrogacy in India.
🧬 What Exactly Is Surrogacy?
Surrogacy is a fertility method where another woman (called the surrogate) carries and delivers a child for someone else. It’s a medically managed and legally structured process.
Two Types of Surrogacy:
- Gestational Surrogacy (offered at Ayuh): The embryo is created via IVF using the intended parents’ or donors’ egg and sperm. The surrogate has no genetic relation to the baby.
- Traditional Surrogacy (not practiced in India): The surrogate uses her own egg, making her genetically related to the baby.
At Ayuh Fertility Centre, we strictly follow gestational and altruistic surrogacy protocols as per Indian law.
❌ 5 Common Myths About Surrogacy—Debunked
❌ Myth 1: The Baby Legally Belongs to the Surrogate
✅ Truth: In gestational surrogacy, the surrogate has no biological link. Legal agreements ensure full parental rights belong to the intended couple.

✅ Truth: Surrogacy does involve costs, but at Ayuh Fertility Centre, we offer cost-effective packages and financial guidance. Parenthood should be possible for all—not just the wealthy.
❌ Myth 3: Surrogates Can Emotionally Refuse to Give the Baby
✅ Truth: Surrogates undergo thorough counseling, screening, and understand their role clearly. Legal protection ensures there is no confusion post-delivery.

✅ Truth: Surrogacy is legal under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021 for eligible Indian couples. Ayuh strictly follows all legal protocols and eligibility guidelines.

✅ Truth: Surrogacy is a beautiful act of compassion and science. It helps families who cannot carry a pregnancy due to medical conditions, absence of a uterus, or repeated IVF failures.

Surrogacy might be ideal for:
- Women without a uterus (due to surgery or birth defect)
