A Supportive Path to Parenthood in Arizona
Arizona allows gestational surrogacy under clear statutory guidelines, providing intended parents with a defined legal path when agreements are properly executed. Surrogacy agreements must be negotiated before any medical procedures and include terms regarding medical consent, parental rights relinquishment, and custody responsibilities. After the child’s birth, intended parents can petition the court to confirm their legal parentage, ensuring the Department of Health issues a birth certificate listing them as the child’s legal parents. The surrogate and her spouse do not retain parental rights once parentage is legally established.
Arizona law includes eligibility requirements and procedural steps, so careful planning and experienced legal guidance are essential. In cases where statutory conditions are not fully met, alternative legal strategies may be necessary to secure parental rights, making professional support crucial for a smooth surrogacy journey.
At Giving Tree Surrogacy, we assist intended parents and surrogates through every step of Arizona’s surrogacy process. From drafting agreements to confirming parentage, we provide guidance and support to ensure a secure, transparent, and confident journey to building your family through surrogacy.

Surrogacy in Arizona for Surrogates
Becoming a surrogate is one of the most meaningful ways to help another family while experiencing a life-changing journey yourself.
Arizona surrogates are generous, compassionate, and strong women who want to make a difference. If that sounds like you, surrogacy may be the perfect path.
Becoming a Surrogate in Arizona
Women who become surrogates are often mothers who love being pregnant and want to give that joy to someone else. To qualify in Arizona, surrogates typically must:
Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
Be between 21–38 years old.
Have had at least one prior healthy pregnancy (no more than five total), with no major complications.
Have had no more than two C-sections.
Have a BMI under 32.
Not currently using tobacco, recreational drugs, or certain medications (e.g., for depression or anxiety).
These requirements are in place to protect your health and ensure the best possible outcome for everyone involved.
Legal Landscape for Surrogates in Arizona
Arizona is one of the few states with restrictive laws regarding surrogacy. Under A.R.S. § 25-218, surrogacy contracts are considered void and unenforceable.
What this means for surrogates:
While surrogacy itself is not illegal, the law does not legally recognize surrogacy agreements.
Intended parents cannot rely on contracts to establish parentage; instead, they must go through a post-birth adoption process to be recognized as the baby’s legal parents.
The surrogate is considered the legal mother at birth, and if married, her spouse may be presumed the legal father until the court finalizes parentage.
Because of this, working with an experienced reproductive law attorney is essential to ensure you understand your rights and responsibilities throughout the journey.
