description Reproductive technologies have created opportunities for individuals to conceive children through surrogacy. Surrogacy reflects biology and traditional reproduction because the genetic material often comes from both parents but also signifies a new way of creating family because of the absence of a pregnant mother and the use of a third party. The goal of the study was to understand how parents of children born through a surrogate use discourse to construct family identity. Parents of children born through surrogates voiced six discursive strategies to construct family identity: discussing, ritualizing, naming, narrating, explaining, and legitimizing.
