Due to this, couples fight a personal, family and social war at every moment of their life. Numerous advances in science and technology have enabled us to help these couples to fulfill their dreams of having a baby. In some cases, nature poses bigger challenges, and as a last resort, advanced forms of treatment such as IVF, and rarely, surrogacy becomes necessary. Surrogacy enables a genetic link between the desiring parents and their child, making the bonding between them stronger, leading to a happy family and a happy society. All fertility treatment options, including surrogacy, are very important to help these couples.
