A Gestational Carrier or Surrogate can carry the baby for the Intended Parents helping to fulfill their family building dreams. Surrogacy includes complicated legal and financial considerations, which is why it is recommended to work with a skilled attorney to guide you in the process of family building.

Each state has specific legal requirements which are applicable to each participant in the agreement, provisions required/prohibited in the agreement, timelines of which must be met, as well as a formal and legally enforceable agreement of which must be affirmed by the court prior to any substantive medical steps. Not only is it necessary for the agreement to meet the requirements but it is important that your rights are protected as well of those of your unborn baby.
