The laws of surrogacy vary depending on where you live and your particular circumstances. That's why it's so important to work with an experienced ART attorney throughout your journey. The information that American Surrogacy has provided here about the general legal processes of surrogacy, insurance, parentage orders and other legal steps that intended parents often encounter may be useful to you, but are not meant to replace professional legal advice from a surrogacy attorney. Please consult your attorney if you have questions, or contact American Surrogacy if you need a referral to a reputable ART legal professional.
