Best and worst states for Surrogacy

Wondering what are the best states for surrogacy? Wondering what are the worst states for surrogacy? Don’t worry--we are here to help!

But first, let’s talk about what makes a state surrogacy friendly.  Here’s some of what we are looking for:

• The state has clear laws on surrogacy.

• The courts have favorable views on surrogacy.

• The state offers the ability to obtain a pre-birth order (PBO) or other method for a birth certificate with the intended parents’ names on it

• The state offers easy access to top fertility clinics.

• Good prenatal care and Level III NICUs are nearby.

• The state is affordable for the typical intended parent (this includes access to surrogacy friendly insurance policies).

When it comes to the United States, Colorado is one of the best places for affordable surrogacy.  We know most intended parents don’t come with Kim Kardashian’s bank account. Affordability is a real consideration for many of us.  

Colorado offers the benefits of California, at a lower cost and Colorado judges look favorably upon family building via surrogacy.  

In Colorado, the intended parents can get a birth certificate listing only their names, not the surrogate’s. 

As a bonus, Colorado is more easily accessible from the Midwest and Eastern parts of the country.  This means a shorter flight home with the baby. Can you see why we love Colorado for surrogacy?
