Surrogacy Legal Matters

Before embarking on your unique surrogacy journey it is essential that surrogate mothers and intended parents thoroughly research the laws regarding surrogacy in their state. Surrogacy laws are determined by the state of the surrogate mother and may vary based on the intended parents individual circumstance; such as their sexual orientation and marital status; therefore, it is imperative to understand the specific surrogacy laws and restrictions.

            Once you decide to move forward with surrogacy, our agency will arrange legal representation for you and your surrogate mother. Legal counsel will help with the following:

1.      Legal counsel will draft the agreements governing your relationship with your surrogate mother. This agreement will help to protect the parental right of you and your surrogate mother during and after the pregnancy.

2.      Legal counsel will help to file the pre-birth order which allows for the intended parents to be listed as the child’s legal parents on the birth certificate.
