A surrogacy agreement is usually a written agreement between the surrogate (and if she has a spouse/civil partner) and the intended parent(s) which sets out everyone’s expectations about entering into the arrangement and what everyone agrees to do. UK solicitors can commit a criminal offence if they charge for drafting a surrogacy agreement. Surrogacy agreements are not enforceable in the UK but this does not prevent the court making orders about who a child should live with and who has parental responsibility for a child.
