Keith, Nicole, and their two-year old daughter Sunday Rose, today announced a new addition to their family, Faith Margaret Kidman Urban. Born through a gestational carrier at Nashville’s Centennial Womens Hospital on December 28, 2010, Faith Margaret is Keith and Nicole’s biological daughter
 
Love Keith Urban! So happy for them.
 
I'm happy for them, but I have to say this is the first time I've heard "gestational carrier".

Sounds like something you could buy in a store or on-line.
 
I guess it's a way to take the "mother" out of surrogate mother. KWIM.
This way it's more clinical. I guess so anyway.

Surrogacy

Surrogacy is defined as the use of a third party female to provide the eggs for a conception and to carry the pregnancy until delivery


Gestational Carrier or Host Uterus?

A gestational carrier is defined as the use of a third party female to provide a uterus to carry a pregnancy until delivery. The embryos are created without any genetic contribution from the carrier or host. Typically, at least one of the gametes (sperm or eggs) is from the couple who is trying to have the baby.

I get it now. When you use a Surrogate, you use their eggs and uterus. When you use a gestational carrier, you only use their uterus.
Makes sense to me now.
 
It's like Nicole and Keith used someone else's oven to bake their cake!:waitasec:
Congratulations Nicole and Keith!!:great:
