==Origin==
[[Latin]] ''surrogatus'', past participle of ''surrogare'' to [[choose]] in place of another, substitute, from ''sub''- + ''rogare'' to ask
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16th_century 1533]
==Definition==
*1: to put in the place of another:
:a : to appoint as successor, deputy, or [[substitute]] for oneself
:b : one that serves as a substitute
==Description==
'''Surrogate''' [[pregnancy]] is an arrangement, often supported by a legal [[agreement]], whereby a [[woman]] agrees to become pregnant, carry the pregnancy to due term, and give [[birth]] to a child or children, all of this for another person or persons, who are or will ultimately [[become]] the parent(s) of the newborn child or children.
People may seek a ''surrogacy'' arrangement when pregnancy is medically impossible, when pregnancy risks present an unacceptable danger to the [[mother]]'s [[health]], or when a man alone or a male couple wishes to have a child. In these arrangements, monetary compensation may or may not be involved. [[Receiving]] money for the arrangement is considered commercial surrogacy; receiving no compensation beyond reimbursement of reasonable expenses is [[altruistic]]. The legality and cost of surrogacy varies widely between [[jurisdictions]], sometimes resulting in problematic interstate or international surrogacy arrangements.
[[Laws]] of some countries restrict and/or regulate ''surrogacy'' and its [[consequences]]. Those wanting to seek a surrogacy arrangement who, however, live where it is banned may [[travel]] to a jurisdiction that permits it.
[[Sex]] surrogates, sometimes referred to as surrogate [[partners]], are practitioners [[trained]] in addressing issues of [[intimacy]] and [[sexuality]]. A surrogate partner works in [[collaboration]] with a [[therapist]] to meet the goals of their client. This triadic model is used to [[support]] the client: the client engages in [[experiential]] [[exercises]] and builds a [[relationship]] with their surrogate partner while processing and integrating their experiences with their therapist or clinician.
A surrogate [[marriage]] describes the arrangement where a [[woman]] is infertile or dies young and her [[family]] substitutes another woman to bear [[children]] for the [[husband]]. Surrogate marriages exist in some African cultures, such as the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zulu_people Zulu] culture.
The [[root]] of the arrangement is the [[belief]] that marriage is an arrangement for the [[continuity]] of life. Where the life of the family or [[clan]] cannot be continued due to infertility or [[death]], the family of the wife can substitute a [[female]] relative to bear children for the husband on behalf of the wife.
