Surrogates & Gestational Carriers Lawyer

Surrogates & Gestational Carriers Lawyer Serving New York, Connecticut, Maine & New Hampshire

You are entitled to accurate legal guidance from an attorney who understands the magnitude of the gift you are giving.  There is a delicate connection and balance between the intended parents’ making decisions for their expected child, and you making decisions about your body and your pregnancy.  All parties to a surrogacy arrangement must be represented by legal counsel.  While it’s true that the intended parents and the surrogate share a joint interest in the delivery of a child for the intended parents’ benefit, gestational surrogates have a number of interests that should never be compromised including the right to select their medical providers and their right to bodily autonomy.

A full description of your rights as a gestational surrogate in New York can be found here: Surrogates Bill of Rights.  Though this list is specific to surrogacy arrangements governed by New York law, it contains a number of items that are considered best practices among ethical surrogacy attorneys.
