FAQ
Can a surrogate mother decide to keep the baby? No. While a surrogate has rights, the right to keep the child is not one of them. Once legal parenthood is established, the surrogate has no legal rights to the child and she cannot claim to be the legal mother.
There are currently three states where surrogacy is illegal: Nebraska, Michigan, and Louisiana. Other states, like Arizona, Indiana, and Idaho, have restrictions in place that can make surrogacy arrangements risky to undertake.
Because the surrogate in a traditional surrogacy is genetically related to the baby, she has an even stronger legal case to take custody of the child after it is born.
Yes. Traditional surrogacy is legal in Iowa because there are no laws prohibiting it. Traditional surrogate journeys are rare; however, because in these cases, the surrogate is the biological mother of the child and courts may favor the biological mother and grant her parental rights.
The surrogacy contract (sometimes called a surrogacy agreement) is a binding legal document that guides the entire surrogacy process for intended parents and surrogates. It's one of the most important parts of the entire surrogacy journey.
The Iowa Code implicitly permits Gestational Surrogacy. First, it specifically exempts surrogacy agreements from Iowa Code §710.11, which prohibits the purchase or sale of an individual.
The commissioning parents must be unable to give birth to a child and the condition must be permanent and irreversible, and the surrogates must have had at least one healthy (still living) child prior to the surrogacy agreement being concluded.
A traditional surrogate is the biological mother of her child, meaning she has parental rights and the power to change her mind and keep the baby. The intended parents would then need to go to court to gain custody of the child.
When it comes to the Western United States, Nevada, Colorado and Washington rank as the best. These three states have strong laws, which protect both intended parents and gestational carriers. And surrogacy insurance is readily available in Colorado, Washington and, especially, Nevada.
Whether a surrogacy contract is enforceable depends on the resolution of a number of issues. First, courts must decide whether such a contract is void as against public policy or voidable by the birth mother. If the contract is enforceable, then the proper remedy for the breach of the agreement must be determined.
