While I have seen many discussions on the post factum consequences of surrogacy, I have seen no discussion of its le-khathila permissibility. Specifically, may a man procure sperm to have his wife’s eggs fertilized through IVF and then implanted in a gentile surrogate, with the understanding that the child will be converted and raised as a Jew by the genetic parents?
In answer to your first question, in the opinion of the late Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach there is no le-khathila permission for surrogate motherhood.
In contrast, Rabbi Zalman Nehemiah Goldberg (R. Auerbach’s son-in-law) wrote that it may be possible to permit surrogate motherhood le-khathila if there is strict rabbinical supervision of the entire procedure.
In answer to your second question, it is forbidden to use a gentile surrogate mother, even if one intends to convert the offspring afterwards.
