• Surrogate arrangements are not permitted within the Swedish healthcare system – neither commercially nor altruistically, however, it is not forbidden to go abroad and hire a surrogate mother in countries where it is permitted.
• In altruistic surrogacy is a female surrogate without payment.
• Are you a Swedish citizen? surrogacy arrangements are only possible for heterosexual couples, gay male couples and single men.
• There are two different forms of surrogacy, partial and full.
• Partially means that the surrogate mother also donates her egg, which means that she has a biological connection to the child she is carrying. This is extremely rare today.
• Full surrogacy means that the surrogate mother has no genetic connection of her own to the child she is carrying, the egg comes from the intended parent or from an egg donor.
• Because surrogacy is unregulated in Sweden, there is no legislation for surrogacy matters.
