Is There Anything Unique About Becoming a Surrogate in Vermont?
Yes! Vermont is widely considered one of the most progressive and surrogate-friendly states in the entire country.
Thanks to the Vermont Parentage Act of 2018, the legal process here is incredibly smooth and protective for everyone involved. Vermont law easily allows for "pre-birth orders."
This means a judge can officially declare the intended parents as the legal parents of the baby before you even give birth, regardless of their marital status, sexual orientation, or genetic connection to the child.
That means you can focus on staying healthy and recovering throughout your pregnancy and after rather than thinking about a legal processes.
