CF carrier parent and considering surrogacy

Sarah · 2017-08-13 12:03:34 UTC

Hi there! My name is Sarah and with my husband we are considering surrogacy but we have some questions. My husband is a carrier of Cystic Fibrosis... There are some cases of CF in his family, but he's just a carrier. We are completely aware that there is some chance that he passes it to our offspring. I'm healthy, but due to my advanced age and the poor quality of my eggs I cannot get pregnant, so we've been considering surrogacy with donor eggs and his own sperm. But what we want now is to make sure that our surrogate baby will not have CF. Is it possible for the surrogate to pass it to the fetus too? Thanks for your help!!!!!
