I think that the primary consideration with surrogacy is the same with any IVF. Most labs fertilize several eggs, some of which are implanted while others are frozen for potential use. They remain in this limbo until they are either used or killed. This treatment of life is cetainly a problem for those that believe in Biblical teaching.
However, there is good news. While I have no personal experience with IVF, I have been told that some labs will implant only the number that the woman is willing to carry--to avoid an abortion to reduce the number--and will not produce the excess to freeze at the request of the couple. It may take a little shopping around, but you may be able to find one that will make the procedural adjustments.
Honestly, I prefer adoption to IVF or surrogacy. However, if this is the route that you choose to take, it would seem that the above concessions are necessary to stay within the Biblical confines.
I wish you the best.
