Surrogacy in Hawaii:
A Guide for Intended Parents
At Giving Tree Surrogacy, we provide a clear roadmap that simplifies the process—from understanding local legal nuances to connecting with trusted clinics and professionals—so you can focus on what matters most: bringing your baby home.
Our HEART Matching Approach sets us apart, combining compassion with precision to create the most thoughtful surrogacy experience in the industry. We go beyond medical compatibility, taking time to align values, communication styles, and expectations between intended parents and surrogates. With expedited matching, rigorous screening, and a foundation of trust-building, we create strong partnerships designed to support a smooth and meaningful journey.
Choosing the right surrogate is the cornerstone of success, and that’s why our pre-screening process is one of the most comprehensive in the U.S. Only 1–2% of applicants are accepted into our program, ensuring you’re matched with surrogates who are not only compassionate, but also medically and emotionally prepared. From background checks and medical record reviews to psychological evaluations and insurance assessments, every step is designed to give you clarity, security, and peace of mind throughout your journey.

A Supportive Path to Parenthood in Hawaii
Hawaii provides a supportive and welcoming environment for surrogacy, even though it does not have specific statutes that regulate the process. Courts in the state have consistently recognized properly executed gestational surrogacy agreements, allowing intended parents to establish their parental rights through court orders that ensure their names appear on the child’s birth certificate. With careful legal preparation, both domestic and international families can pursue surrogacy in Hawaii with confidence.
Because surrogacy in Hawaii is governed primarily by court practice rather than a dedicated law, having a well-drafted agreement and experienced legal representation is essential. The surrogacy contract should be completed before any medical procedures begin and should clearly define each party’s rights and responsibilities. Both the intended parents and the surrogate (and her spouse or partner, if applicable) should have independent legal counsel to ensure that the agreement is fully enforceable and that everyone’s interests are protected.
Hawaii’s courts generally issue parentage orders after birth, though pre-birth orders may be available depending on the circumstances and county. These orders establish the intended parents as the child’s legal parents and terminate any parental rights of the surrogate. This process provides a secure legal foundation for families of all types, including single parents and LGBTQIA+ intended parents, reflecting Hawaii’s inclusive and family-centered values.
At Giving Tree Surrogacy, we guide intended parents and surrogates through every stage of the process with care, transparency, and professionalism. Every agreement we facilitate clearly outlines medical and emotional responsibilities, steps for establishing legal parentage, and permitted financial terms, all in compliance with local court expectations. Our team works closely with experienced reproductive law attorneys in Hawaii to ensure a smooth and secure journey from start to finish.
While each county may have slightly different court procedures, obtaining a parentage order remains a key step to ensuring clarity and peace of mind for all involved. With proper legal guidance and compassionate agency support, Hawaii offers a safe, transparent, and heart-centered pathway to building your family through surrogacy.

Becoming a surrogate is one of the most meaningful ways to help another family while experiencing a life-changing journey yourself.
Surrogates in Hawaii are generous, compassionate, and strong women who want to make a difference. If that sounds like you, surrogacy may be the perfect path.

Legal Landscape for Surrogates in Hawaii
Hawaii does not have a specific surrogacy statute, but surrogacy is supported under contract law and by favorable case rulings:
Gestational surrogacy agreements are valid and enforceable.
Pre-birth parentage orders are widely granted, ensuring surrogates are not recognized as legal parents once the order is in place.
