California Surrogacy Arrangements


surrogacy guidelines

California has long been viewed as the leader in the United States with respect to reproductive law matters.  California provides an extremely positive legal environment created by case law which allows for strong support of contract provisions upholding key legal rights and obligations, custodial obligations, as well as medical and psychological screening and testing.  California is unique in that “pre-birth” legal judgments are obtained to establish the “Intended Parents” as legal parents before a child is ever born.  There are generally no “post birth” legal proceedings required.  Instead, the names of the “Intended Parents” are placed on original birth records for immediate, full and unfettered custody of the child.
