Surrogacy Agreements
Surrogacy agreements are legal contracts between intended parents and a surrogate mother who will carry a child for them. These agreements outline the rights, responsibilities, and expectations of both parties, including financial compensation and prenatal care. Surrogacy can be necessary for individuals or couples facing infertility or health issues. There are two main types: gestational surrogacy, where the surrogate has no genetic link to the child, and traditional surrogacy, where she is the biological mother. These agreements help clarify the legal relationships and intended outcomes, offering security to all involved in the surrogacy process.

The agreement outlines the rights and responsibilities of all parties, including compensation for the surrogate and any medical care. It usually covers issues such as parental rights, the surrogate's health, and decision-making during the pregnancy. It's essential for all parties to have legal representation to ensure the agreement is fair and enforceable.
