Diverse Surrogacy Laws: A Closer Look

Why the Differences?

The surrogacy journey is governed by a mosaic of laws, not just one uniform policy. States craft these laws based on a range of factors, from prevailing societal values to historical precedents. Here’s a brief look into the disparities:

• Compensation: Some states, like Michigan, prohibit compensated surrogacy but allow altruistic surrogacy. In contrast, states like California and Connecticut have favorable laws for both surrogates and intended parents, allowing for clear compensation agreements.

• Pre-Birth Orders: The ability to obtain a pre-birth order, which establishes the intended parents as the legal parents before the child’s birth, is another crucial legal distinction. States like Nevada and CA  allow pre-birth orders, making post-birth legal processes smoother.

   

Navigating Surrogacy in California:

Statute Recognition:

California stands out with a statute that recognizes and validates contracts for gestational surrogacy as well as egg, sperm, and embryo donations, safeguarding the rights of all parties involved.

Smooth Parentage Determination:
