When a woman can’t carry a baby to term on her own, she may enlist the help of a surrogate. A surrogate will have the baby for her although it is not her child. It is the parents’ child. This is how some people are able to become parents. Surrogacy is the answer for many couples that wish to start a family. They want so much to parent their children. It’s a journey that can seem like a long one but one that is truly worth it.

Recently, the famous married couple of Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra announced that they welcomed their first child into this world by way of a surrogate. A surrogate mother is a woman who is artificially impregnated and then carries the baby in pregnancy for another couple. Once the surrogate mother delivers the baby, she surrenders the baby to the couple for whom she was carrying it.

While the Church has very specific teachings about the morality of issues like surrogacy, IVF, and egg donation, Timmerie took this opportunity to examine the specifics of why practices like this can prove harmful on a recent episode of Trending with Timmerie.

The Church teaches that children are a gift from God. They are not a piece of property that you can take or reject out of personal desire. Therefore, if you are called by God to be blessed with children, they are to be conceived and carried naturally by a husband and wife, the original and biological parents. The involvement of a third party like a surrogate mother or an egg or sperm donor is immoral. It is the manipulation of the origin of life because you do not like the outcome.

Having a child is not an easy choice. Surrogacy can be a riskier, more stigmatized choice.

Surrogacy is described as an arrangement in which a woman bears a child for another woman who is unable to do so herself. Unlike typical pregnancies, surrogacies seem to have a stigma or an air of mystery surrounding them.

The truth is that surrogacy is not mysterious or shameful. It’s simply another way for many couples to have a child. Instead of being stigmatized and debated, it should be normalized.

There are two basic types of surrogacy, one of which all surrogate mothers will go through.

First, there are gestational surrogacies, which are more common. Gestational surrogacies involve a surrogate who is genetically unrelated to the couple who wants to have a child.

Traditional surrogacy is a process in which the surrogate mother’s own egg is fertilized by the intended father’s sperm, a donor or an IVF. In this case, the surrogate mother is also the child’s biological mother.
