For LGBT individuals and couples gay surrogacy can have a lot of unsuspected events. There are many paths to parenthood, ranging from egg donation to sperm donation to co-maternity to embryo donation to surrogacy. Surrogacy is the road many take to create their families.

If this is the case for your family-to-be, the attorneys at the Gay Family Law Center will be at your side every step of the way. Prior to the pregnancy, we can write or review surrogacy contracts. According to California law, surrogacy contracts must include provisions for a number of issues, including the source of the sperm and egg, surrogate compensation, escrow provisions, expected actions of the surrogate and intended parents, multiple pregnancies, and parental rights.

California Gay Family Law Center will also represent you to ensure that you receive full parental rights once the child is born, while withdrawing parental responsibilities from the surrogate. This may involve filing for a pre-birth judgment, advising on the advantages of conception within California, or collaborating with of-counsel if the surrogate will deliver in another state.
