SURROGACY
Leading Fertility/Surrogacy lawyers for over 10 years we offer support & guidance throughout your journey.
As leading fertility solicitors working in this sector , for over a decade, we can offer all the support & guidance , you need , throughout your journey.
We know that undertaking a Surrogacy journey can be a daunting & emotional process. There are so many options, questions you will have and navigating through these is confusing . As such, we strongly advise clients to do their research, meet those that have undertaken the journey before and importantly seek advice ,as early on as possible, to help create a comprehensive surrogacy plan and budget accordingly.
Choosing which jurisdiction to start your surrogacy arrangements , may be your first consideration , in your exciting journey. This will then lead on to:
- Finding the surrogate;
- Choosing your advisors and clinic;
- If choosing a surrogate based overseas then getting early immigration advice is essential;
- Managing expectations and setting a realistic budget for expenses, legal costs and, where applicable, flights and insurance policies; and
- Agreeing terms which are carefully documented between you and your surrogate.
This is a simplistic overview of the process , as a general guide only.
We have helped numerous intended parents and indeed surrogates on their surrogacy journey, so we understand the importance of being prepared and informed right at the start. We also know that you need to trust your advisors, have us readily available and have transparency regarding costs throughout. Hence we offer, where possible, a fixed fee bundle of services, detailed at the onset.
It is essential to understand that regardless of the location of the surrogate, UK or overseas, intended parents returning to reside in the UK with their child will still need a UK Parental Order to secure legal parenthood.
Hopefully all will go to plan , but you should also rest assure that if things go wrong, we have experience in stepping in and securing favourable outcomes; whether the issues be related to intended parents separating, surrogates making unreasonable demands or mismanaged programmes by the agents or medical complications. Sadly, we have experienced many scenarios, but we have successfully navigated these to the clients’ satisfaction.
For common questions about UK surrogacy, please see our advice below. For overseas jurisdictions please do read our applicable pages for more information.
International Surrogacy Advice
We advise on all aspects of international & domestic surrogacy, read more here:

COMMON QUESTIONS
Once the baby is born you will have six months to apply for a Parental Order. When the Parental Order is granted, a new birth certificate will then be issued showing the two intended parents rather than the surrogate mother and you will both acquire all the rights and responsibilities for the child.
