Our team collaborates with trusted legal experts in each jurisdiction to ensure that contracts are valid, parentage rights are secured, and families can return home smoothly with their child.
Why Legal Guidance Matters in Surrogacy
Surrogacy laws vary widely from country to country. Having the right legal guidance ensures that:
- All parties, intended parents, donors, and surrogates, understand their rights and obligations.
- Surrogacy agreements are properly drafted and enforceable.
- The intended parents’ names appear on the birth certificate.
- Assistance for the families in completing citizenship or residency paperwork to return home with their child.
The Surrogacy Agreement:
The surrogacy agreement, sometimes called as an Agreement on the service of transplantation and bringing up of embryo into the uterus of a surrogate mother t, is the foundation of your legal protection. This contract is signed by the intended parents and the surrogate (and the donor if applicable).
It outlines:
- The surrogate’s responsibilities, including attending medical appointments, following health guidelines, and maintaining contact with the intended parents.
- The intended parents’ responsibilities, including financial obligations and support for the surrogate throughout the pregnancy.
- Risks and possible contingencies, such as medical complications, miscarriage, or caesarean section.
- Clear terms ensuring the surrogate relinquishes parental rights after the child’s birth.
- Each agreement is drafted according to the specific requirements of the country where the surrogacy is taking place to ensure it is legally enforceable.
Establishing Parental Rights:
One of the most important steps in the surrogacy process is ensuring that intended parents are legally recognized as the child’s parents.
In Georgia, the names of the intended parents are placed directly on the birth certificate after issuance of the birth certificate and the surrogate and/or donor have no parental rights.
In Ukraine, surrogacy agreements are legally recognized, and the intended parents are also listed on the birth certificate without the surrogate’s name.
In Mexico, laws vary by state. In states where surrogacy is permitted, intended parents work with local lawyers to ensure proper parentage rights and to complete necessary paperwork for traveling home.
Our legal partners in each country will guide you through the required steps, from drafting agreements to securing the birth certificate and handling international documentation.
