No. You and the intended parents will enter into a legal agreement that will govern each party’s legal rights and responsibilities. That agreement will state that the intended parents shall be the legal parents of any child carried by you as a gestational surrogate. You will receive legal advice from an independent attorney who specializes in the field of reproductive law. That attorney’s fee is paid by the intended parents. Your attorney will review the legal agreement with you to ensure that you are comfortable with all of the legal issues. In addition, the intended parents’ status as the child’s legal parents will be clarified through a pre-birth order or some other legal process.
