There are more than a few moving parts to coordinate in this type of baby-making scenario. If you’re a couple, you and your partner need to decide whose sperm is going to be used. You also need to determine whether your egg donor and your gestational (pregnancy) baby carrier are going to be the same person. This is a complicated question that deserves some really hard thinking on your part.

If you’re using a relative as egg donor, you may feel fairly comfortable using her as the carrier also. After all, you probably have a reasonably good relationship and you know where she lives if there are any problems. If your relative or friend feels funny giving you her eggs, you could use an anonymous egg donor and someone you know as gestational carrier. Or the other way around. You can see why this takes some serious thought.

It’s a little trickier still if you don’t know your egg donor or gestational carrier. In this case, choosing a separate egg donor an a gestational carrier can be a prudent decision. The carrier won’t have a biological tie to your baby, which could prevent legal issues if something goes wrong.
