Why we chose surrogacy in the U.S.

Surrogacy in the US is definitely the most expensive place to go through the process and I am regularly asked why chose it instead of doing it in a “cheaper” jurisdiction.  We had the choice of going to multiple countries namely the US, Thailand, the Ukraine, Georgia and India.  India is now not an option for same-sex couples (as the law is changing), but why the US?

 

In all honesty the answer is very simple – we felt that the tried and tested legal framework in the US would offer us and our children the best protection.  The US is a country where surrogacy has been going for years and as such it is an “understood” concept.

 

We wanted our family to be created in a country where we would be recognised as the parents of the children immediately and have all of the associated rights.

 

In the UK surrogacy contracts are unenforceable and the surrogate mother has rights for the first 6 weeks of the child’s life.  We felt that Eastern Europe and Thailand were not advanced enough for us to gain the level of comfort we wanted and that left the US.
