Creating Families with The Gift of Surrogacy

Creating Families with The Gift of Surrogacy

Surrogacy is more than a medical process - it’s a gift of hope, love, and family. Together, we celebrate the courage and compassion that make new families possible

Gestational and Traditional Surrogacy have been legal in Florida since 1992. Many beautiful families have been “born” through Surrogacy. However, you may have also heard stories about illegal surrogacy practices throughout the world. You are safest when a licensed attorney in a state that permits surrogacy handles the Surrogacy arrangement. You need to have their knowledge and skills, but also their ethics and accountability in guiding your process.
Commercial surrogacy, or compensated surrogacy, is legal in Florida and regulated by the same laws as apply to other forms of surrogacy. However, understand that the intended parents are not paying the gestational carrier for a baby. Instead, surrogacy compensation is intended to compensate the carrier for any associated costs or risks of surrogacy. These terms of payment will be outlined in the surrogacy contract.
The legalization of same-sex marriage also grants those who fall into that category access to family-formation options like surrogacy and adoption. It also outlines a nearly identical process for heterosexual couples, with the only significant difference being working with a sperm or egg donor.

Benefits of Surrogacy

Surrogacy offers a powerful and fulfilling path to parenthood for individuals and couples who are unable to carry a child on their own. It provides the opportunity to have a biological connection with the baby while benefiting from a structured, legally protected process that ensures clarity and peace of mind for everyone involved. For intended parents, surrogacy brings hope, emotional healing, and the joy of finally welcoming a child into their lives after years of waiting or infertility challenges. At the same time, surrogates experience the meaningful reward of helping create a family, supported with comprehensive medical care, emotional guidance, and financial compensation. With a supportive agency and transparent communication, surrogacy becomes a compassionate journey built on trust, love, and the shared dream of becoming a family.

Quick And Clear Answers Surrogacy Questions

Gestational and Traditional Surrogacy have been legal in Florida since 1992. Many beautiful families have been “born” through Surrogacy. However, you may have also heard stories about illegal surrogacy practices throughout the world. You are safest when a licensed attorney in a state that permits surrogacy handles the Surrogacy arrangement. You need to have their knowledge and skills, but also their ethics and accountability in guiding your process.

Yes, although it carries more legal and ethical risks than gestational surrogacy. Governed by Fla. Stat. §63.213, traditional surrogacy laws in Florida are more like adoption laws than anything else.

Since traditional surrogacy more closely resembles adoption under Florida surrogacy laws and is less common, you should familiarize yourself with the legal processes associated with adoption.

Meanwhile, gestational surrogacy laws in Florida are unambiguous and for both the gestational surrogates and intended parents. This type of surrogacy is legal under Fla. Stat. Chapter §742 and more prevalent in Florida.

Commercial surrogacy, or compensated surrogacy, is legal in Florida and regulated by the same laws as apply to other forms of surrogacy. However, understand that the intended parents are not paying the gestational carrier for a baby. Instead, surrogacy compensation is intended to compensate the carrier for any associated costs or risks of surrogacy. These terms of payment will be outlined in the surrogacy contract.

The legalization of same-sex marriage also grants those who fall into that category access to family-formation options like surrogacy and adoption. It also outlines a nearly identical process for heterosexual couples, with the only significant difference being working with a sperm or egg donor.

A surrogacy contract outlines the terms of the agreement between the intended parents and the surrogate and the surrogate’s spouse if applicable. It ensures no parental rights remain with the surrogate or spouse and must be started before any medical processes. Therefore, it is vital to work closely with a surrogacy attorney in Boca Raton when forming this contract.

These contracts outline all crucial considerations like parental rights, compensation, social roles, and other requirements of both parties involved. Fla. Stat. §742.15 requires that the contract must state that the surrogate:

  1. Consents to clinical intervention and management of the pregnancy.
  2. Agrees to reasonable medical evaluation and treatment and will agree to follow all medical instructions.
  3. Will give up all legal rights to the child after birth.
  4. Will assume legal rights and parental responsibilities for the child born to her if neither intended parent is genetically related to the child.

It also included that regardless of any status of impairment of the child, the intended parents will accept parental rights.

After a consensus has been reached with the terms outlined in the contract, the rest of the process can begin.

While not absolutely required, pre-birth orders are not only legal in Boca Raton, FL, but encouraged. The order eases the process, allows the intended parents to be present for the birth, and smooths the process of changing the birth certificate to state the intended parents’ names. While it does not explicitly outline parental rights, it can help facilitate them later on and is a recommended additional step.

Fla. Stat. §742.16 requires that the intended parents file a petition to affirm parental rights within three days after the child’s birth. If it is approved by the court, it will guarantee the transfer of parental rights.

If the child is not genetically related to the intended parents and is to the surrogate, Fla. Stat. §63.213 mandates that the intended parents complete the adoption process after the child is born. This means the surrogate’s parental rights must be terminated to establish the rights of the intended parents. However, this step is not required in gestational surrogacy.
