It's a natural need of a living organism to
procreate and also an emotional one. Humans spend
a considerable amount of time to find a partner
and bear children. Along with the evolutionary
need, LGBTQ parenting and single parenting is
also an emotional journey that every human wants
to feel

Sperm Donor
This is common for single women, lesbian couples,
and other LGBT couples who don't have a partner
to provide sperm. The sperm is retrieved from the
donor, and the egg from the decided female member
from the couple is obtained.
There can be various types of donors, as well.

Egg Donor and Surrogacy
Surrogacy is an arrangement in which the
fertilized egg is planted in a woman as the
couple or single man can't carry out the
pregnancy. Single men, the gay couple use this,
and the other LGBT parenting with no partner to
provide eggs or sustain a pregnancy. This sect
undoubtedly requires a female to give eggs and
also sustain the pregnancy. Often the surrogate
mother's egg is used, rarely a man or couple asks
the doctor to use a different egg other than a
surrogate mother.

Embryo Donor And Surrogacy
As the name is self-explanatory, this means
having an embryo donor with or without surrogacy.
This option can be taken by single women, single
men, and LGBT couples. But it is uncommon to have
a donated embryo and surrogacy, couples who have
to do this prefer adoption. The single women,
lesbian couples, and other LGBT couples with
proper female reproductive tracts to sustain
pregnancy but aren't able to release quality eggs
can demand an embryo. Usually, the donated embryo
comes from the stored backups by previous IVF
couples. Rarely, someone has a family, friend, or
known to donate both sperm and eggs, for having a
fresh embryo. This is why embryo donors remain
anonymous individuals.

More About Surrogacy
In the above points, for almost every option,
surrogacy is available. Surrogacy is an
arrangement (can be legal), whereby a woman who
is called a surrogate mother agrees to bear the
child for another person or a couple. She may or
may not have any right (as per contract) over the
child after it's born, but she shall be paid for
all the expenses related to pregnancy till the
childbirth and some post-pregnancy treatments
too. The surrogate mother can be anonymous,
family member, friend, or a known woman. In the
case of an anonymous surrogate mother, all the
legal requirement and communication has to be
mediated by a reliable mediator (often the IVF
clinic/doctor).
