In 2026, with the rapid development of assisted reproductive technology and the gradual opening of social attitudes, more and more single Chinese men are beginning to pay attention to surrogacy as a way to have children. However, due to legal restrictions on surrogacy in China, single men face many questions in practice: What are the costs? What conditions need to be met?
