Surrogacy Laws: Legal Steps of a Surrogacy Journey
Every surrogacy journey is unique — and so is every state’s law. At Giving Tree Surrogacy, we know how important it is to feel safe and supported through the legal steps that make your dream of parenthood possible.
Surrogacy Laws by State
Our role is to stand beside you, translating the complex language of surrogacy law into clear, compassionate guidance. We help you understand the specific requirements and processes in your state — from how surrogacy agreements are drafted to how parental rights are established — so that whether you live in a surrogacy-friendly state or one with more specific regulations, your journey remains secure, ethical, and aligned with your vision of family.

Why Surrogacy Laws Differ by State
Each state in the U.S. has its own approach to Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) and surrogacy. Some states have well-established legal frameworks that clearly recognize and support gestational surrogacy, while others may require additional steps — or even have restrictions.
These differences make personalized legal support essential to ensure your agreement is valid, enforceable, and protective of everyone involved.
When you partner with Giving Tree Surrogacy, our legal team and partner attorneys handle all the details with care, so you can focus on preparing your heart and home for your baby.
We’ll walk you through:
-
What your state’s surrogacy laws allow and require.
-
How to create an agreement that protects both you and your surrogate.
-
The process for establishing your parental rights.
-
How international parents can navigate documentation and citizenship for their child.
From day one, you’ll always know where you stand — legally and emotionally.
