Surrogacy in Mississippi:

Surrogacy contracts are usually upheld, and courts often grant pre-birth or post-birth orders. For parents and surrogates in Mississippi, Giving Tree is an experienced agency who can help navigate the legal landscape and can make your path to parenthood as smooth as possible.

Why Parents in Mississippi Choose Giving Tree Surrogacy
Our PRE-SCREENING PROCESS
At Giving Tree Surrogacy, we go beyond standard checks to protect your journey. Every surrogate completes background screenings, home evaluations, and insurance reviews. Medical records are also pre-approved by our team and IVF nurses before a profile is ever shared, reducing risks and increasing your chances of success.
The SHORTEST WAIT TIME
Families choose Giving Tree because of our unmatched speed. With 3–5 fully pre-screened surrogates added to our pool each week, most intended parents match in just 1 week to 1 month - far faster than the industry’s 12+ month average. And with 60% of our surrogates returning for a second journey, your perfect match comes with proven experience.
No UPFRONT BARRIER
We believe every family deserves the chance to grow, which is why Giving Tree offers a low to no retainer fee structure.
You can explore your options and get matched without heavy financial commitments upfront.

Mississippi Surrogacy Laws
Mississippi does not have specific statutes regulating surrogacy, but the state’s courts have gradually developed a neutral-to-cautiously supportive approach to gestational surrogacy when handled ethically and with proper legal representation. While there is no formal legal framework, intended parents can pursue surrogacy safely in Mississippi when agreements are well-structured, transparent, and reviewed by experienced reproductive law attorneys.
In Mississippi, courts tend to treat gestational surrogacy favorably. Because the law does not expressly recognize surrogacy contracts, parentage is typically established through a post-birth court order. This order confirms the intended parents as the child’s legal parents, terminates the surrogate’s parental rights (and those of her spouse, if applicable), and directs the issuance of a new birth certificate listing the intended parents’ names.
While pre-birth orders are rare in Mississippi, some judges may consider them on a case-by-case basis when the legal documentation is comprehensive and all parties have independent counsel. It’s essential for both the surrogate and intended parents to be represented by separate attorneys to ensure full understanding and protection of everyone’s rights and responsibilities.
Surrogacy in Mississippi is open to both domestic and international intended parents, and courts have shown a willingness to work with diverse family structures, including single parents and LGBTQIA+ families, though practices may vary by county. Because the legal landscape can be unpredictable, professional guidance is crucial to ensure compliance and security at every stage.
At Giving Tree Surrogacy, we help intended parents navigate Mississippi’s surrogacy process with transparency, care, and precision. Our team works closely with trusted reproductive law attorneys who understand local court expectations and can help you prepare a clear, enforceable agreement that protects all parties and ensures your family’s legal recognition.
