    I mean they might, but if they also have egg cells…

    Surrogacy is when a uterus grows a kid that wasn’t by their own egg.

      Technically, that’s called gestational surrogacy. Traditional surrogacy uses the surrogate’s egg and the intended father’s (or donor’s) sperm.

          By “traditional”, I think they mean “before we had the ability to facilitate gestational surrogacy”

          Sort of like half-adoption, if you think of it like that. So for people who lived pre 20th century…
