Surrogacy for heterosexuals
Many heterosexual couples face challenges on their way to becoming parents. Fertility problems can force them to give up on natural pregnancy and choose surrogacy. This decision is complex and involves a personal and marital process of acceptance.
In recent decades, legal changes and advances in fertility treatment have increased the possibility of realizing the dream of parenthood through surrogacy.
Today, heterosexual parents-to-be can choose from several surrogacy paths, with each path having different characteristics, advantages and challenges.
Since 2008, Tammuz family has been helping expectant parents and offering safe and accessible surrogacy programs with accompaniment and support throughout the journey.
