Is There Anything Unique About Becoming a Surrogate in Wisconsin?
Yes! Wisconsin has a rather unique legal landscape when it comes to surrogacy. There are currently no explicit statutes or laws on the books that officially govern surrogacy. Instead, surrogacy in Wisconsin is guided by a landmark Supreme Court case (Rosecky v. Schissel).
This case ruled that surrogacy contracts are enforceable and legally binding in Wisconsin. Because the laws rely on court precedent rather than direct statutes, the legal process can sometimes vary slightly depending on which county you deliver in.
That is exactly why working with an experienced agency is so vital in Wisconsin.
We ensure you are partnered with local legal experts who understand the exact nuances of your county, ensuring that all parental rights are smoothly transferred to the intended parents so you can focus entirely on a healthy delivery.
