What is the purpose of the surrogate mother?

The purpose of a surrogate mother is to carry and give birth to a child for another individual or couple who are unable to conceive or carry a pregnancy themselves due to medical, biological, or personal reasons. Surrogacy allows intended parents to have a biological connection to the child, either through traditional surrogacy (using the surrogate's egg) or gestational surrogacy (using the intended mother's or a donor's egg). This arrangement provides an alternative path to parenthood while addressing various challenges associated with infertility.
