International Surrogacy

California surrogacy laws are among the most progressive in the world. In California, Intended Parents can establish their parental rights before their child is born rather than enduring a potentially arduous adoption process.

However, throughout the world, surrogacy is outlawed or heavily restricted. Countries such as France, Germany and Switzerland do not legally recognize surrogacy. Other countries — such as Sweden, Spain, Ireland and the Netherlands — strictly supervise and restrict surrogacy arrangements to certain people wanting to become parents.

For this reason, many international clients decide to pursue surrogacy in California to take advantage of its surrogacy laws — and the United States’ citizenship policies.
