Intended Parent Agreement

An Intended Parent Agreement is a legal document that outlines the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved in a surrogacy arrangement—typically the intended parents, the surrogate, and sometimes gestational carriers or egg donors. It details key aspects such as financial arrangements, parental rights, medical procedures, and confidentiality. The purpose is to clarify expectations, protect everyone's interests, and ensure that everyone involved understands their roles and legal obligations. In essence, it provides a clear and binding plan to guide the surrogacy process, helping to prevent misunderstandings and support a smooth journey toward parenthood.
