A:No. Within the United States, each state has different laws related to surrogacy. Some states are more surrogate friendly than others, while a few don’t allow it at all. Countries outside of the United States also have various laws related to surrogacy, many of which do not allow surrogacy. Intended Parents can live anywhere. The differing laws are related to where the surrogate lives.
When entering into a surrogacy agreement and beginning your journey, it’s very important to be aware of applicable laws.
A:If the intended parents have completed all of the required contracts and agreements as deemed necessary according to applicable state law, it’s nearly impossible. The gestational carrier is not biologically related to the child. In some states, a pre-birth order can be obtained, allowed the intended parent’s names to appear on the original birth certificate, while other states will require a court hearing to do so.
A:Gestational Carriers are giving an incredible gift to another family and it’s essential that we establish she is emotionally and physically able and prepared for the journey. Once the initial interview is complete, we conduct a home evaluation, psychological evaluation, collect medical records and verify her health. There is also a list of basic criteria that each of our gestational carriers must meet/agree to prior to the initial interview.
A:Not likely. It’s important to talk with your insurance provider early in the process to determine if they are surro friendly or exclude surrogacy pregnancy coverage. We are able to help you locate insurance providers who cover gestational carrier pregnancy costs.
A:If you live in the United States and already have health insurance, contact your benefits coordinator and arrange for your child’s coverage at birth. Make these arrangements in advance.
International Intended Parents will be required to obtain private insurance to cover the child’s medical care.
A:Intended parents will have profiles in which surrogates can look view. Once she chooses a family, a match meeting or conversation can occur. If a match occurs, contracts will be completed and the relationship begins.
